Do you think predatory dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex is the most great and terrible? If so, your estimate is wrong.Tyrannosaurus rex adults can grow to a maximum height of 4 meters long and about 12 meters. He still lost a giant Giganotosaurus carolinii which can grow up to 5 meters long and about 13 meters. But he is also not the greatest predators.
Is Spinosaurus aegyptiacus (which means lizard with a backbone) that live in the area that is now North Africa, is the largest carnivorous dinosaur.
Animals that live in the Albian to Cenomanian stage, in the Cretaceous period (about 112 to 97 million years ago) can grow to 18 meters and 6 meters high, weighing up to 23 tonnes. Spinosaurus following comparison with other carnivorous dinosaurs:
Spinosaurus skull head long and flat, like a crocodile's head. On the back there is a kind of screen which bone can grow up to 1.65 meters.
These animals have seven teeth on each side of the mouth of the front and 12 teeth on each side of the jaw inside. Unlike other carnivorous dinosaurs that have teeth tend to be curved, straight teeth belonging Spinosaurus and the possibility to function as a knife which makes it easier to eat the slippery prey.
Like a modern grizzly bear, Spinosaurus spent much time in or near the water to catch fish. But with the size of dinosaurs is likely not only eat seafood, but also kill and eat other dinosaurs. Including meat eating dinosaur carcass.
