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 looked. They were
originally described as large, lumbering lizards instead of large, upright, birdlike reptiles. Just picture a
Komodo Dragon, walking on all fours with its tail dragging on the ground. No offense to the komodo
dragon, but describing this fierce predator as such is a disservice.
Number 7. The Acrocanthosaurus
Acrocanthosaurus immediately
At
Definitely built like a predator, it had 38 curved and serrated teeth contained in a huge skull that could
reach up to 130 cm long. It hunted like most predators with its kind of anatomy; locking down on prey
with their jaws while latching onto them with sharp claws.
Number 6. The Coelophysis
Coelophysis was an unusual predator. It lived in large herds, something that does not happen in today's
world. Although grazing animals such as wildebeest or caribou live in herds in our modern world, no
predators live in large groups. It’s also the smallest predator to make it on our list. The body of
Coelophysis was only a little larger than a turkey. It had a long slender tail and jaws filled with dozens of
knife-edged teeth. The animal's rear legs were strong and agile. It had feet with three long toes and one
short one, and it was quick to leap away from larger predators.
The front legs of Coelophysis were small and probably were not used for walking. They were more likely
used to gather food. Its head was large, with a pointed snout and large eyes. Coelophysis was a master
of ambush. Perhaps a fish-eater, it seems that this 100-pound predator lived along streams, moving
through ferns and horsetails, always on guard for its enemies. It also ate insects, lizardlike reptiles, and
other small dinosaurs.
Unlike the giant predatory dinosaurs of later times, the Triassic theropod dinosaurs were also prey. Their
enemies included the enormous phytosaurs, which weighed a ton or more
