Paralititan
Paralititan was a massive plant-eater (herbivore) that lived in the late
Cretaceous period,
between about
99 and 94 million years ago. It lived in Egypt,
in a region that at the time was filled with tidal flats and mangrove swamps and lay on the shores of the Tethys Ocean.
Paralititan was around 85 feet (26 meters) long. It was heavily built
and probably weighed around 65 tons. It had the longest known
humerus (upper arm bone) of any known
Cretaceous
Sauropod, at 5½ feet (1.7 meters).
Paralititan was a contemporary of, and lived in roughly the same areas as
Carcharodontosaurus,
so it is possible that Carcharodontosaurus
may have been one of its predators. Paralititan's primary defense against predators was of course its
great size, but it is possible that, like some other Titanosaurs (for example
Saltasaurus), Paralititan may have had some bony
armor plates (osteoderms) embedded in its skin.
