- Meraxes gigas was a massive predator, reaching up to 9 meters in length and weighing an estimated 4 tons, making it one of the largest known carnivorous dinosaurs.
- The study of Meraxes gigas provides important insights into the evolution and diversity of large theropod dinosaurs, as well as the ecosystem and climate conditions of the Late Cretaceous period in South America.
