Saurophaganax ("lizard eating master") is a genus of theropod dinosaur. Saurophaganax may be an extremely big allosaur. This dinosaur is larger than allosaurus and slightly longer than tyrannosaurus this clearly is a huge meat-eater, possibly reaching 43 feet (13 m) long and 16.5 feet (5m) high .If more is found this could be the biggest dinosaur in North America. Very little of its fossilized bones have been found so scientists are still deciding what to call this dinosaur.
