A type of dinosaur that lived a long time ago and was discovered in North Africa. It was one of the biggest predators on land, and it had a long, narrow skull with straight teeth. Its neck was long and thin, and it had a sail-like structure on its back (about 5.4 feet high). This dinosaur was about 46 feet long (as long as a school bus) and weighed up to 8.2 tons (the weight of a school bus). It ate fish and lived in the Late Cretaceous period.
