Carcharodontosaurus (SciiFii)

Carcharodontosaurus afarensis (name meaning "African jagged-tooted lizard") is a species of giant non-avian theropod dinosaur that originally lived in what is now Northern Africa during the Cenomanian stage of the mid-Cretaceous period as an extinct species of Carcharodontosaurus and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike most other large carnivorous non-avian theropods, have been intentionally introduced throughout the modern open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and arid savannas of Africa to help boost biodiversity. Carcharodontosaurus afarensis can range from a length of 12 to 13.3 meters (39 to 44 feet) long and a weigh around 6.2 to 15.1 tonnes (6.8 to 16.6 short tons). Carcharodontosaurus afarensis is a homeothermic (a type of "warm-bloodedness") animal, with a metabolism between that of a mammal and a reptile, which enables fast growth. It is relatively fast moving, with a maximal running speed of 14 m/s (50 km/h; 31 mph). It is capable of closing its jaws quickly, capturing and bringing down prey by delivering powerful bites. The "chin" on its lower jaw helps in resisting stress when a bite is delivered against prey. Carcharodontosaurus afarensis is the apex predator of its ecosystem and it primarily feeds on juvenile sauropod dinosaurs, hadrosaurs, iguanodonts, antelopes, and wild pigs, although it is also known to feed on carrion and man-made meat waste to supplement its diet. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons or if it is in packs trying to hunt larger prey such as large sauropods. Despite its fearsome appearance, it does not hunt or eat humans, pets, or domestic livestock due to SciiFii breeding modern Carcharodontosaurus to not prey on humans or domesticated animals, as to not provoke farmers, pet owners, or bounty hunters. The conservation status of the Carcharodontosaurus afarensis is Near Threatened due to some habitat loss and, historically, poaching and persecution, however, thanks to conservationists, it is a protected species.
