Ultimate Dinosaurs is presented by the Science Museum of Minnesota and was created and produced by The Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. 

Introducing the fearsome Giganotosaurus, a formidable relative of T. Rex, alongside other unique species that evolved in seclusion across South America, Africa, and Madagascar—dinosaurs largely unknown to many in North America. Discover these extraordinary creatures at the exhibition:

• Eoraptor (pronounced EE-oh-rap-ter) is a bipedal dinosaur that lived about 228 million years ago and had two different kinds of teeth, both serrated and flat, indicating that it was an omnivore.
• Malawisaurus (pronounced mah-LAH-wee-SORE-us) is one of the earliest titanosaurs and a sauropod from Africa. Like most titanosaurs, Malawisaurus had bones in its skin, similar to those in modern crocodiles. 
• Suchomimus (pronounced SOO-ko-MY-muss) is a spinosaur from the Sahara Desert in Niger. This animal was 33 feet long and would have weighed more than 6600 pounds.

• Amargasaurus (pronounced a-MARG-oh-SORE-us) is an herbivorous sauropod from Argentina with a distinctive double row of spines on its neck and back. These colored, spine-like sails may have been used to signal other members of its species. 
• Giganotosaurus (pronounced gig-an-OH-toe-SORE-us) is the largest carnivorous dinosaur from Gondwana and perhaps the largest land predator ever. Giganotosaurus is similar in size to Laurasia’s more famous Tyrannosaurus Rex.
