Carnivore Dinosaurs (27 Results)
Velociraptor mongoliensis
Description:
Velociraptor, a small but swift carnivorous dinosaur, lived during the late Cretaceous period about 75 to 71 million years ago. Known for its speed, intelligence, and razor-sharp claws, this predator was only about the size of a turkey, much smaller than how it's often portrayed in popular media. Velociraptors likely hunted in packs, using their agility and cunning to take down prey. They were covered in feathers, giving them a bird-like appearance, and their name means "swift thief," reflecting their fast and opportunistic nature.

Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis
Description:
Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most famous dinosaurs, was a massive predator that roamed North America during the late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago. Standing up to 40 feet long and 12 feet tall at the hips, this carnivorous dinosaur had an enormous skull with powerful jaws lined with sharp teeth. Despite its relatively small arms, its strong legs allowed it to be a formidable hunter, capable of taking down large prey. The T. rex was likely both a predator and a scavenger, playing a key role in its ecosystem.

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
Description:
Spinosaurus was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs, surpassing even Tyrannosaurus rex in size, and lived during the Cretaceous period about 112 to 93 million years ago. Characterized by the large sail-like structure on its back, made from elongated vertebrae, Spinosaurus was unique among theropods due to its semi-aquatic lifestyle. It likely hunted both on land and in water, preying on fish and small dinosaurs. Its long, narrow snout and conical teeth were perfect for catching slippery prey, while its sail may have been used for thermoregulation or display.
