Carcharodontosaurus was a large carnivorous dinosaur. It belongs to the same suborder Theropoda which contains the famous Tyrannosaurus. The size of the Carcharodontosaurus was slightly larger than Tyrannosaurus. Tne Tyrannosaurus was believed to be the largest meat-eating dinosaur. The discovery of the Carcharodontosaurus proved otherwise. The fossils of this dinosaur have been discovered from various regions in Northern Africa. It was known as the 'African T. rex' for the longest time. The adult length was between 40 and 43 feet. It is difficult to judge its exact weight, but scientists estimate that it could have been anything between 9 to 15 short tons. The time period of the existence of the Carcharodontosaurus was about 100 to 95 million years ago.
