The PNSO "Gamba the Carcharodontosaurus," showcases one of the largest and most fearsome theropod dinosaurs to ever roam the Earth. This figure vividly brings Carcharodontosaurus to life, displaying its defining features with remarkable precision. The elongated skull, lined with blade-like teeth, highlights the predator’s formidable bite, while the powerful, muscular body reflects its role as an apex predator of the Late Cretaceous.
The texturing of the skin is meticulously crafted, with a scaly, lifelike pattern that mirrors what scientists believe the dinosaur’s appearance might have been. The naturalistic paintwork, featuring gradients of earthy tones, adds depth to the model and suggests a camouflage suitable for the predator’s environment. The pose captures a dynamic moment, as if Gamba is mid-stride, ready to hunt or defend its territory, offering a sense of motion and vitality.
PNSO Gamba The Carcharodontosaurus measures approx (inches): 11.4 L x 3.7 W x 4 H.

Carcharodontosaurus, meaning "shark-toothed lizard," was a massive theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 100–93 million years ago. This carnivorous predator roamed the ancient landscapes of what is now North Africa, including regions that were once part of a lush, tropical ecosystem. Known for its immense size and fearsome reputation, Carcharodontosaurus is often compared to other giant theropods such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Giganotosaurus, though it is distinct in both anatomy and behavior.
One of the most striking features of Carcharodontosaurus is its skull, which measured over five feet long. The name "shark-toothed lizard" comes from the serrated, blade-like teeth that lined its jaws. These teeth were not only sharp but also well-suited for slicing through the flesh of large prey, making it a highly efficient predator. Its prey likely included massive sauropods and other herbivores, as well as smaller carnivores. Fossil evidence suggests that Carcharodontosaurus was an apex predator, sitting at the top of the food chain in its environment.
