Description
Cretaceous Africa was a place full of dangers. Resembling huge giraffes, long- necked titanosaurs roamed its plains, while carcharodontosaurus, the terrible predators with razor-sharp teeth, hunted these giants. The name of these dinosaurs itself is translated as "shark-toothed lizard". Their teeth had a sawtooth cutting edge, and narrow jaws, which could cut even the strongest skin of herbivorous reptiles like scissors when closing.
