'''''Carcharodontosaurus''''' was a genus in the {{w|Carcharodontosauridae}} family. It was a large carnivore that lived in Northern Africa also in South America in the Late Cretaceous Period, the same time and place as ''[[Spinosaurus]]''. It was among the largest predatory dinosaurs (13.6 meters long), longer than ''[[Tyrannosaurus rex]]''. It was also one of the primary competitors to Spinosaurus for the dinosaur prey in the area, and despite being smaller it seemed to have an advantage in battle as shown from bites from Carcharodontosaurus breaking off the spines of Spinosaurus in clashes.

''Carcharodontosaurus'' is available in ''[[Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis]]'' as a four-star large carnivore, albeit misspelled as "Carcharadontosaurus". They prefer open areas with water. They are covered in black coating while the underparts are gray to white they also seem to have red crests over their eyes.When hunting faster prey it is known to wait in thick vegetation and ambush attacks. According to JP:OG, it seems to live on Sorna. In this game, it gets along well with fellow four-star dinosaur ''[[Acrocanthosaurus]]''. By coincidence, paleontologist have classified the ''Acrocanthosaurus'' as a carcharodontosaur; making the two close relatives. Other coincidences are also that that the ''Acrocanthosaurus'' was once classified as an allosaurid, which are also close relatives to the ''Carcharodontosaurus'' which up to date is now classified as super member of the family. In JPOG it slightly resembles a ''[[Giganotosaurus]]''. That might be only because they are related.
