The Carcharodontosaurs

The carcharodontosaurs were a group of dinosaurs that were closely related to and considered by some to be, including myself, to the allosaurs. These large carnivores are moderately famous. Allosaurus, close relative of the carcharodontosaurs [img]http://www.history.com/minisites/jurassic-fight-club/dinopedia/images/allosaurus.png[/img] Carcharodontosaurus= 40 ft long, 5-6 tons One of the largest predators that ever lived in Africa. This predator likely competed with Spinosaurus for food.

This is not universally accepted though. What is accepted is the fact that this was one big predator.

It's also a contender for the title of largest land carnivore ever. [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/dinosaurs/1/G/o/C/-/-/giganotoEV2.jpg[/img] Questions? Comments? *Sizes based on my estimates and theories.
