Carcharodontosaurus (/kɑːrkəˌrɒdɒntəˈsɔːrəs/; “shark-toothed lizard”) is a genus of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs. It includes some of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, with specimens estimates ranging between 12.6–13.2 m (41.3–43.3 ft) in length, 5.21–5.95 m (17.1–19.5 ft) in height, and weighing between 1.4–23 tonnes (1,400–25,000 lb). In 1925, German palaeontologist Ernst Stromer described and named Carcharodontosaurus saharicus from teeth and partial skeletal remains discovered in Egypt; this species has since become synonymous with the entire genus. A second species, Carcharodontosaurus iguidensis, was named by Philippe Taquet in 1976 from material discovered in Niger.

Was Carcharodontosaurus Bigger Than T Rex?

Carcharodontosaurus was a large theropod dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period. It was one of the largest land predators of its time, and could grow to lengths of up to 40 feet (12 meters). In comparison, T Rex was slightly smaller, only reaching lengths of up to 38 feet (11.5 meters). However, both dinosaurs were still massive predators, and would have been formidable opponents in a fight. The answer to this question is not currently known for certain. However, based on the limited information that is available, it appears that Carcharodontosaurus may have been slightly bigger than Giganotosaurus. This is based on estimates of the length and weight of both animals, which suggest that Carcharodontosaurus was around 43.5 feet long and weighed approximately 33,345 pounds, while Giganotosaurus was slightly smaller at 42.6 feet long and weighed an estimated 30,438 pounds. However, it should be noted that these estimates are provisional and more complete skeletal material would be needed to confirm them.
