Let me know if you want a ping

Like, is it a megaraptorid or a noasaurid? (some even think it was a basal tyrannosaurid) and others suggest baharisaurus was a nomen dubium as it was probably deltadromeus

Our story begins with the end of the wet season fish and most of the resident crocodiles are gone until the rivers return. Even the sauropod population has left for greener areas. Most predatory competition that is normally peaceful has become violent and unstable in North Africa. We start with a family of carcharodontosaurus following the herd of paralititan being a nuisance at the moment but sometimes there is a reason for strange behavior that is not expected normally. But in recent years a drought has made the area hard to live in for these animals. The Carcharodontosaurus family follows the giants to actually make use of two things. These animals are slow but are stuck not being able to eat until they reach a new area due to the lack of food. So the normally active hunters follow are making use of this by picking off the animals that are weak and sick ones. Sadly the younger paralititan start straggling behind. As they fall behind the carcharodontosaurus start their attacks on the youngsters and they bring down one of them. But this kill attracts unwanted attention another slower and more desperate dinosaur has caught up with the carcharodontosaurus a 47 foot long giant spinosaurus due to it being slower and first trying to figure out where the rivers are to feed off of crocodiles and turtles and pterosaurs and well anything. It picked up the scent of the sauropod herd later then the carcharodontosaurus but it came at a cost. being bigger comes at a cost you need more food and water to survive this spinosaurus is living on its fat due to its lack of kills in recent times due to the gap between kills it ate. Spinosaurus maybe the biggest predatory land animal ever but it is adapted to the riverside area of the region following herds of prey like more less specialized predators. It lives alone so it has no back up in this encounter. The spinosaurus needs this dead sauropod to stay alive. But kills in the dry season are far and few between and the spinosaurus then spots the young carcharodontosaurus in the family it sprints at the juvenile and bites into it hard breaking bones. But you never mess with a juvenile when it's parents are nearby the carcharodontosaurus rams into the spinosaurus causing the giant to drop the juvenile. But the spinosaurus is normally able to win this and stand its ground in this scenario but a third party has entered the fray makingit the worst case scenario. smelling the fresh blood of the juvenile a bahariasaurus has shown up with intent on one thing bringing down the juvenile for two reasons future competition and food. But a final and most unpredictable of the four species shows up a saurianops normally they avoid the carcharodontosaurus, spinosaurus and bahariasaurus. but it saw the unattended sauropod carcass and saw the the others in a fight. The Carcharodontosaurus continues to fight the spinosaurus it slashes at the carcharodontosaurus but being weaker and slower than normal the spinosaurus misses but it leaves itself open to attack after it missed a bite. The spinosaurus then feels the teeth of the carcharodontosaurus around the neck the spinosaurus rears up lifting the carcharodontosaurus off the ground it may have been a good idea to attack the open neck but only if you can finish it the carcharodontosaurus gets slammed into the ground breaking a leg just because the spinosaurus is weak doesn't mean it is not capable of killing it steps on the chest of the carcharodontosaurus with the broken legs killing it. But sadly for the carcharodontosaurus juvenile it's parents are so busy on the spinosaurus it gets killed by the bahariasaurus. But the juvenile did not go down without a fight it bit and ripped a tendon in the bahariasaurus. the saurianops sees this and it runs at the bahariasaurus the force of impact into the giant sends it into the ground. The bahariasaurus gets back up and lunges at the saurianops but it misses and falls to the ground dead from blood loss hours later where it gets eaten by the saurianops the last carcharodontosaurus walks away with an injury or two the spinosaurus is able to barely get injured other then some bruises and some neck wounds it lost a finger

Egypt, an old land, with architectures and artifacts a thousand years older then the medieval times. But the history of Egypt goes further back, back to prehistory, 97 million years ago. This is the Bahariya Formation, home of the largest carnivore to live on the land. A Spinosaurus appears. This is the Spine Lizard.

Intro rolls.

The Spinosaurus is resting under a tree.

This is Spinosaurus, the largest carnivore to ever live on land. It has a long snout with conical teeth, good for gripping fish, strong arms and claws for slashing, and a big sail and a big paddle like tail most likely to seem bigger.

The Spinosaurus then gets up and goes to stand in the water. Spinosaurus has holes on its snout bones like that of Crocodiles, these could have been sensors that help detect fish when they pass by. The Spinosaurus keeps its snout in the water and we see some Onchopristis swimming through the river.

Onchopristis, a cartilaginous fish. Equipped with a saw like structure on its face similar to that of saw sharks. The Spinosaurus catches the fish and kills it with its claws and starts eating it.

We move on to a heard of Paralititan.

These are Paralititan, the largest animal in these parts. A healthy adult has no natural predators. We see some cinematics of Paralititan.

We then see a gang of Bahariasaurus hiding in the bushes.

Bahariasaurus, another giant predator from Egypt. They are stalking a juvenile far from the heard. They start running and grab the neck and eventually kill it. They start eating it. These lands are filled with predators in every corner, yo have to be careful here.

We see a Mawsonia swimming around.

Mawsonia, a huge fish. Mawsonia is a Coelacanth, a group once thought to be extinct, but was rediscovered in the 1930s. The Mawsonia gets attacked by Stomatosuchus

This is Stomatosuchus, although they may look like Crocodiles they split off from the Crocodile linage a some few million years ago. The Stomatosuchus goes to land and swallows the Mawsonia head first, Spinosaurus sees it from from underneath its tree.

We then see a Carcharodontosaurus.

Carcharodontosaurus, another giant predator. This land is a home to multiple giant predators, this is because they all fill in different niches. Carcharodontosaurus is from a group called Carcharodontosauridae and is a relative of Giganotosaurus from South America. We see cinematics of Carcharodontosaurus.

Another Carcharodontosaurus appears. Another male, Carcharodontosaurus aren't willing to share there territories, so this could mean conflict. The Carcharodontosaurus push each other with their head and the male defeats the challenger. This Carcharodontosaurus keeps his territory secure for now.

We then see a lone Bahariasaurus looking for food. The juvenile Paralititan has finished, this one is searching for food again. The male Spinosaurus attacks and the Bahariasaurus stands its ground. An attack, this could be fatal. The Bahariasaurus tries to get a bite but the Spinosaurus doges and grips it with its jaws and kills it with its claws. Being a medium sized theropod in a world of large theropods is a difficult life.

The Spinosaurus is chilling under its tree again and we see the Carcharodontosaurus arrive. The Spinosaurus stands up and hisses. The Carcharodontosaurus is expanding its territory, but for that it must get rid of competition first. The Spinosaurus slashes the other with its claws. The Carcharodontosaurus then manages to grab the sail. The Spinosaurus makes noises in pain and grips the neck. It then starts slashing and the Carcharodontosaurus leaves. The Carcharodontosaurus is wounded, but the Spinosaurus is even more wounded.

We see the dead body of the Spinosaurus lying under the same tree. The largest predator on land, has fallen. Africa is a unforgiving place, and still was millions of years ago.

End credits roll

The Dinosaurs grew to enormous sizes in the beginning of the Late Cretaceous,; but they weren't the only ones that got huge. Next time, we'll be visiting prehistoric Uzbekistan, to see the giant Pterosaurs. An Azhdarcho flies by.
