Carnotaurus
Click here for more Carnotaurus Pictures
Carnotaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived in South America
(its fossils have
been found in Patagonia, Argentina)
during the late Cretaceous period,
about 70 million years ago.
Carnotaurus was about 30 feet (9 meters) long, and stood about 10 feet (3 meters) tall at
the hips. It weighed around 2 tons.
The most noteworthy feature of Carnotaurus are the thick horns above the eyes, it is from
these it gets its name, which means "flesh bull" (it is a meat-eater, and the horns
are said to resemble those of a bull).
Carnotaurus also had a number of other unusual and interesting features:
- It had a robust (but small) skull, but a slender low jaw bone.
- Its eyes, unusually for a dinosaur, faced forward. Scientists think that this
may mean it had binocular vision and depth perception.
- It had a relatively long neck as compared to other
Theropod dinosaurs.
- It had extremely reduced front limbs, each of which ended in a four-fingered hand.
Although only one near-complete skeleton of Carnotaurus has been so far (at the time of writing this article),
this skeleton was accompanied by
fossilized skin impressions. From these,
we know that Carnotaurus did not have feathers (unlike some other advanced
Theropod dinosaurs), but the
animals skin was lined with rows of bumps, the bumps growing larger nearer the animal's spine. It is not
entirely clear what the purpose of these bumps would have been.
Carnotaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived about 70 million years ago
