Carcharodontosaurus (The African T-Rex)

Among large carnivorous predators, very few found themselves equipped to handle the size and power of Carcharodontosaurus (kaar·kr·uh·daan·tuh·saw·ruhs). This cousin to the American T-Rex is found predominantly in Northern Africa where these animals grew to roughly 38 feet long and weighted about 4 tons. While their arms were short and as seemingly useless as it’s larger cousin, The African T-Rex had powerful jaws that could lift an animal of nearly 1000 lbs.

How would you measure up?
