Carnivores
Carnivorous dinosaurs were meat-eating predators with sharp teeth, strong jaws, and powerful limbs. Most were theropods, walking on two legs and hunting prey.
Introduction to Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs were a diverse group of reptiles that dominated the Earth for over 160 million years, from the Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (about 66 million years ago). They evolved into a wide variety of species, ranging from small, bird-like creatures to massive, towering predators.
