The History of the Carcharodontosaurus in the Jurassic Park Franchise

"Carcharodontosaurus was a fearsome predator, possessing great strength and almost as large as T. rex. It's sure to be a much desired attraction for our guests. " - Cabot Finch

Yeah. “Ooo. Ahhh.” That’s how it always starts. But then later there’s running, and then....screaming....

[@svenheuseveldt7188]

@@flotterotter1202 We don't know that. We only found two specimen, one is a partial skeleton and the other a partial skull. Not a lot to go on as you can see, especially when the partial skeleton was blown up on WW2. So we only have a partial skull and drawings of the partial skeleton. With this we know this was a massive theropod, we just can't pin point how large. Lenght estimates place the partial skull between 12 and 13 meters, not up to 14, based on it's relatives that would result in a mass of ~7,5 metric tons. And the partial skeleton around 10 to 11 meters, which would result in a mass of ~5 metric tons. The biggest specimen of T.rex are in fact shorter than the largest Carcharadontosaurus at 12.3 meters in lenght(Sue) but they have been estimated to weigh up to 9 metric tons! Making T.rex the more massive(larger) theropod of the two. Carcharadontosaurus was indeed longer but not bigger.

The "JPOG" design is still the first image that comes to my mind when i think of this theropod in a "JP" context. But the "Evolution" design is good too, and I think it gives you a goods idea of what it *could* look like in a film installment.

[@DorsenFilm]

The charcharodontosaurus is like that one uy that does absolutely nothing but stand in the corner and wears sunglasses to look cool.

[@yuyaricachimuel555]

[@Soul93Taker]

My favorite design of giant predator on JPOG, hands down. It was outright badass.

[@CrypticNat]

I really like this dinosaur. Strange reason, maybe, but the sounds these animals make in JWE are super imposing. Like, the heavy rumbling noise you hear right before they kill a human/goat straight up just sounds like THREAT. The T-Rex roar is iconic as hell, obviously, but I always think that the more subtle noises these dinosaurs make are probably more realistic, and therefore definitely creepier. The T-Rex sounds like a movie monster. The Carchar. sounds like a very real, very dangerous animal. Somehow, that always scares me more

[@WhyTho525]

Tbh, the Carcharodontosaurus sounds from Warpath Jurassic Park are even more terrifying than that of the T-Rex's or even the hybrid sounds

[@frodobaggins6684]

I loved this guy. So many memories in Op: Genesis.

[@Motsognir9791]

The tree part reminds me of when dr.grant looked back up to meet a velociraptor's face in jurassic park 3

[@LandBeforeTime75]

Awesome video of the History of the Carcharodontosaurus in the Jurassic series. Carcharodontosaurus is one of my favorite Gigantosaurus dinosaur since Polar Allosaurus and different types of Allosaurs. I really hope that the Carcharodontosaurus would be in the future Jurassic movies and Camp Cretaceous coming next year as well as the toy-line from Mattel. Great video Klayton and as always, Take It Easy.

[@ajpringle03]

I assume you mean the Polar Allosaur from Walking with Dinosaurs? Yeah that was technically an Australovenator, and not really an Allosaur at all

[@enderethan144]

I would love to see the Carcharodontosaurus on the big screen maybe in a spin-off JP series or non canon movie. It’s such a unique dinosaur and I so hope it’s design is similar to the JWE design with the operation genesis colour scheme.

[@tarponpet]

I wish you'd continue this series, was a lot of fun hearing the different weird places dinosaurs would pop up.

This dinosaur needs a Mattel makeover.... And really any other figure brand that hasn’t released one yet... which is many...

Carcharodontosaurus was one of the very first dinosaurs I ever knew about, plus its name was a running gag in an episode of Dinosaur King. I really hope he appears in a tv show or movie one day

The JPOG design of Carcharodontosaurus is probably my favorite design of the creature in general.

[@carrot656]

[@denmaster868]

Ah yes, the shark toothed lizard itself. I remember it well from JPOG, but it has sadly been mostly neglected by the Jurassic Park Franchise in general.

[@joe95883]

The new look in Evolution is pretty good, and I can imagine these Beasts looking like that when they where Alive.

[@b_radbrad8899]

The dinosaur planet design and warpath are my favorite designs for the carcar

[@christopherhernandez4440]

Carcharodontosaurus is my favourite dinosaur, mainly due to Operation Genesis. I did like its appearance in the BBC doco Planet Dinosaur as well. Personally I love its updated look in JWE, and its unique roar - just wish it had unique animations.

[@Reyd0r]

Great to see you finally touching upon the main man Klayton! Btw, anyone else noticed that (if we discount the Spinosaurus) Charcharodontosaurus actually was the largest terrestrial predator the Eastern world had ever seen if im not wronge.

[@johnsnow272]

I like this chill intro almost as much as the metal one.

[@Benny_T]

I love the JWE Design, especially the colours, I think the Carcha would be cool to see in a future film, as long as we don't end up with another winning the fight with a T rex controversy.

Man I've wish Carcharodontosaurus return to jurassic world the game and alive with appearance.

[@aryshandono3249]

Gotta thank Warpath for introducing me to both Acro and Carchar. They both and Giga are my holy trinity. I prefer Carchar from Warpath design though. Its vocalization is cool too

[@WhyTho525]

Carcharodontosaurus in Warpath Jurassic Park has the most terrifying of any dinosaur in franchise tbh

[@thefxndomdork3703]

Would be great to see this dinosaur. As well a Tabosaurus and... a suchomimous to complete that family of dinosaur. Perhaps fishing for prehistoric fish.

[@vixenfatale4839]

The design from JPOG is best. I am glad I wasnt the only one to pair it with the Acrocanthosaurus

[@tyrannotherium7873]

The GPOG one looks like the walking with dinosaurs allosaurus

[@99thJediWarrior]

Funny thing is since it's Dinovember on this art site I'm on, I did a picture of one of my book characters taming a Carcharodontosaurus. I gotta say my favorite appearance of the dinosaur was in Operation Genesis. I loved watching it eat up the Gallimimus in the Site B mode on the game 😂🦖

Would love it if you did some play-throughs of all kinds of Jurassic Park games! Especially the older ones

I still believe Warpath JP had the best sound effects for Caracharodontosaurus and is my favorite incarnation of Carchara. Other JP games after that, it’s sound effects just aren’t as intimidating, scary, and memorable, WJP’s Carchara has sounds that sends chills down your spine.

Having this dinosaur fight Spinosaurus in Dominion instead of the Rexy vs. Giga battle would have made the film so much better. Plus the prologue would make more sense since they actually coexisted.

It’s strange this guy isn’t really well known, since he is bigger than t-Rex and has a really cool body structure . I can’t decide which design I like more.

My favorite dinosaur! Also, firmly in the OpGen camp on the looks.

[@Zimzilla99]

Acrocanthosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus , and Giganantosaurus all are really different (maybe with the exception of the carchar and giga) but they always feel like the mega carnivores that can be interchangeable and people don’t think off when compared to the spino and rex

Carcharodontosaurus Is A Badass

[@JParkL0v3r]

One of my absolute and most favorite dinos since JPOG and my #1 favorite carcharodontosaurid. I soooo love the name meaning “shark-toothed lizard (great-white-shark-toothed lizard to be exact) Sooooo badass. My favorite depictions in JP are JPOG and now also JWE. In both park builders, it still remains badass. I get JPOG vibes ever since I’ve played the game when I first learned about it whenever I hear Carcharo anywhere else such as Planet Dinosaur.

Carcharodontosaurus the natural enemy of spinosaurus

[@KhanMann66]

Looking at the formation the only animal that can pose a threat to Spinosaurus is probably another Spinosaurus. As *Dinosaur Heretic* said Carcharo probably remained inland most of the time and hunt different prey.

[@WhyTho525]

@@KhanMann66 True, conflicts between Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus would've been extremely rare. I guess they would only meet when a Spinosaurus is desperate for food and tries to steal a kill from a Carcharodontosaurus.

[@dinosaurfan2409]

I always like the Operation Genesis look more and I think the overall shape and build may be more accurate but I am not sure. But I do think the JW: Evolution version is a very unique design as well. It was also a dinosaur I often upgraded for Builder and used in the arena, and when it leveled up it really brought a lot of damage. This dinosaur certainly has a unique name and I would to see it featured in a Jurassic movie or maybe even a spin off or small feature film.

[@lukekaloudis6164]

Maybe the drastic changes they made has to do with how Dr. Woo has been changing the dinos? "You wanted more teeth, I have you more teeth"

[@Scrinwaipwr]

I love the protofeather quills running down the Carcharodontosaurus' back in JWE and I especially love its roar, it sounds like some sort of demonic horn or tuba. I think I prefer the colours to the JPOG version too. But I prefer the shape of the JPOG one though I understand in JWE they decided to adjust its appearance so it wouldn't look too similar to its close relative Giganotosaurus.

[@eduardxex1728]

Nice intro

[@Venator94]

I love both the JPOG Carcharodontosaurus and the JWE one. I have a feeling the former shares pretty much the same model used for the Acrocanthosaurus with slight differences, by the way, and the sounds that Carcharodontosaurus makes are so cool and threatening! Still, despite what many people will say (?), I do appreciate the JWE redesign. My only issue with it is that it's a bit too slender. While not as muscular as Tyrannosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus is still a damn big Theropod, not too far from Giganotosaurus... But it's somehow thinner than Acrocanthosaurus. 😅 Anyway, it's always good to hear from you, Klayton! We don't deserve you, but we definitely need you. ❤️

[@kreation2021]

One of the interesting carnivore in the game

[@joshuastrittmatter4188]

“Carcharodontosaurus. A land based-killer. A meat eater, a carnosaur. A cousin of Allosaurus, but four times bigger. With serrated teeth 16 centimeters long, Carcharodontosaurus was a giant among killer dinosaurs. Up to 14 meters long and weighing around 7 tonnes, like Spinosaurus it too was bigger than T-Rex.” John Hurt, Planet Dinosaur (2011)
