In the animal kingdom, there have always been predators. While the predators of today are absolutely
terrifying, they don’t hold a candle to prehistoric predators. Today we will be counting down the top 10
predatory dinosaurs. Number one is a no brainer, but do watch out for it.
Number 10. The Yutyrannus
When named in
Study of the fossil site of the Yutyrannus holotype indicates that it would have been at a high elevation
back in the early Cretaceous with a cool average air temperature.
Feather debate aside, there is no doubt that the yutyrannus is a voracious predator, although it was
quite a bit smaller than its tyrannosaur cousins.
Number 9. The Giganotosaurus
Giganotosaurus was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs. It roamed modern-day Argentina during
the late Cretaceous Period, about 99.6 to 97 million years ago. For a long time, Tyrannosaurus rex —
"king of the dinosaurs" — was thought to be the largest carnivorous dinosaur. Today, Giganotosaurus is
believed to have been slightly larger than T. rex, though even Giganotosaurus ranks behind Spinosaurus
in size among the meat-eating dinosaurs.
First described in a 1995 study in the journal Nature, Giganotosaurus was, at the time, thought to be the
largest carnivorous dinosaur. The specimen analyzed was up to 41 feet long from head to tail, and
weighed between 6.6 and 8.8 tons, the researchers estimated.
Not only large, but quite fast as well. Models suggest that Giganotosaurus could run up to 31.3 mph,
according to a 2001 article in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. Any faster and the animal would
lose its stability and fall over, rather like me when I decide to run.
Number 8. The Megalosaurus
Megalosaurus was a very large theropod for its day, reaching between 23 and 30 feet long, and weighing
1.5 to 2 tons, it one of the largest. It had somewhat short, but strong arms with sharp, hooklike claws on
three fingers, perfectly designed for gripping onto prey and slashing into its flesh. It also had long,
powerful hindlegs, good for chasing down prey. Its tail, like most other theropods, was built to help
balance it while moving. It had a long, narrow skull with sharp, bladelike teeth for slicing through the
flesh of other creatures.
His hunting techniques were very cruel. first, he taken prey on the ground, then eat the victim alive.
Funnily enough, paleontologist though very differently on how this dinosaur
