• Huge, strong and fierce, I would attack and eat any dinosaur around.
• I had one of the strongest bites of any animal that ever lived.
• 60 sharp teeth, some up to 20 centimetres long, meant I could easily crush thick bones.
• Scientists think I hunted my prey or fed on already dead animals. I probably did both, I was just lazy sometimes...
• I had very short arms - they did not even reach my mouth!
• I could eat the equivalent of 1,500 sausages a day.
