About the Carcharodontosaurus:

The Carcharodontosaurus, often referred to as the "shark-toothed lizard," was a massive carnivorous dinosaur that roamed the Earth during the Aptian to Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous period (approximately 125 to 100 million years ago). This apex predator measured up to 40 feet long, rivaling the Tyrannosaurus rex in size and ferocity.

Its name derives from its shark-like serrated teeth, which were perfectly adapted for slicing through the flesh of its prey. Fossils of Carcharodontosaurus are highly sought after due to their rarity and historical significance, with Morocco's Kem Kem Beds being one of the few places in the world where these specimens are discovered.
