The apex predator belonged to the Carcharodontosaurus group, or “shark-toothed dinosaurs”.

Internet users have also been warned not to fall for a "Don't google which dinosaur had 500 teeth" prank after sick Reddit users made a racist joke go viral.

The Shark toothed dinosaur roamed central Asia around 90million years ago — long before the T-Rex’s reign of terror.

Its remains were entombed in rocks at a dino graveyard in Uzbekistan’s Kyzylkum Desert.

Face and head bites were identified, likely inflicted in inter-species territorial battles.

Dubbed “Ulughbegsaurus”, its hunting ground spanned hundreds of miles and included smaller tyrannosaurs.

Dr Kohei Tanaka, of Nagoya University, Japan, said: “It closely resembled Neovenator which was discovered in the UK.”
