The Carcharodontosaurus saharicus was one of the largest predators (larger than its distant North American T-Rex cousin) of all time and is also related to Allosaurus and the South American Giganotosaurus. The Spinosaurus was both a beachcomber type scavenger and an active hunter, taking small stranded Plesiosaurs, Pterosaurs, turtles and large fish.
