Carcharodontosaurus was one of the largest known theropod dinosaurs, ranking among the most formidable carnivorous dinosaurs in Earth’s history. Comparable in size to Tyrannotitan and Sauroniops, and only slightly smaller than Giganotosaurus, this massive predator dominated African ecosystems during the Late Cretaceous.
Reaching up to 12 meters (39 feet) in length, standing about 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) tall at the hips, and weighing nearly 7 tonnes, Carcharodontosaurus was built for power and efficiency. Unlike Tyrannosaurus rex, it possessed longer, muscular forelimbs equipped with three sharp claws per hand, aiding in prey capture.
Its enormous skull contained over 60 serrated, blade-like teeth, some measuring up to 20 centimeters long, perfectly adapted for slicing flesh. These teeth made it an effective hunter of large herbivorous dinosaurs, including juvenile sauropods and ornithopods.
As a true apex predator, Carcharodontosaurus played a crucial role at the top of the prehistoric food chain, earning its name meaning “shark-toothed lizard.”
