Spinosaurus
We've already met the largest planteater to ever walk the Earth. But what was the biggest meateater? Spinosaurus is the largest carnivore to have lived, weighing in at almost 10 tons and 60 feet in length. It lived about 100 to 93 million years ago in what is now Africa. Carrying an impressive sail, a mere arch of the back would raise the sail to almost seven feet. It is thought to have survived by eating fish, though judging by its size, Spinosaurus could have easily hunted smaller dinosaurs. It also has the longest-known head of any dinosaur, measuring 6 feet.

Length data is wrong. By about half. Who fact checks this site?
Is the lenght data right? How can animal of more than 27 meters weigh just 10 tonnes? According to the illustration it doesn't seem to have had light bones... It's difficult to think also of a predator as big as its prey! I've read Spinosaurus as the biggest terrestrial predator, slightly oversizing Tyrannosaurus rex with 15 m long.
thats at the tyyrell museum in drumheller lol
