Every Known Megatheropod | Ultimate Terrestrial Predators

Apex predators, in the public consciousness, rule the animal kingdom. That childlike sense of awe reaches its zenith with the titanic theropods of the ancient world, symbols of a planet where everything was bigger, badder, and more fantastical. Earth’s ranks of land predators produced beautiful monsters like gorgonopsians, hyenadonts, and even terrestrial crocodile relatives that dominated in the Age of Mammals, but arguably peaked with the bipedal, elephant-sized reptiles known as megatheropods.
