It seems like every few years the news cycle explodes with another new giant theropod set on dethroning Tyrannosaurus. The 90s were full of giant carcharodontosaurid hype and the early 2000s had Spinosaurus as their sweetheart. In 2024, Tyrannosaurus appears to be the reigning champion with its biggest representatives at 1012 tonnesbut a new challenger approaches, this time from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil. Will the tyrant lizard king’s claim to the throne last?
