- Meraxes gigas was a massive predator, measuring up to 9 meters (30 feet) long and weighing an estimated 4.8 tons, making it one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs ever found.
- The discovery of this new dinosaur species provides important insights into the evolution and diversity of large predatory dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous period, just before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.
