Meet T. Rex’s big, bad cousin, Giganotosuarus, and other breeds that evolved in isolation in South America, Africa and Madagascar—dinosaurs unfamiliar to most North Americans.

Here’s a look at some of the beasts you’ll encounter in 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 Africa’s earliest titanosaurs and a sauropod. 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.
