Description

The Carcharodontosaurus Saharicus sp. was a huge Theropod carnivore of the Cretaceous, North Africas version of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, commonly confused or associated as the North African TRex, actually Carcharodontosaurus was from a different lineage, although the similarities between both are outwardly obvious, only a few bones of the skeleton separate their family differences. Carcharodontosaurus was bigger/heavier than Tyrannosaurus, however having a smaller brain. The name Carcharodontosaurus means Shark-toothed-lizard. The Carcharodontosaurus reached lengths of up to 45ft/15m long and weighing around 4tons.
