What was the first meat eating dinosaur?

Scientists have identified the oldest known meat-eating dinosaur from the UK - a chicken-sized animal that would have been one metre long with its tail. The fossil was named Pendraig milnerae and belongs to a theropod group, which also includes T. rex and modern birds.

Who was the top predator in the Jurassic?

Pliosaurs are the most fearsome predator in the fossil record of the Jurassic Coast.

What went extinct during the Jurassic period?

At the end of the period there was one of mass extinctions associated with the dinosaurs (Condie, 344). This dinosaur extinction was paralleled by a shift in dominate vegetation from the conifers and cycads of the Jurassic period to shorter, primitive flowering trees (346).

What was the most dominant animal in the Jurassic period?

As Steven Spielberg's 1993 film "Jurassic Park" asserts, reptiles were the dominant animal life forms during the Jurassic period. Reptiles had overcome the evolutionary hurdles of support and reproduction that limited the amphibians.

Who was bigger Spinosaurus or Giganotosaurus?

More gigantic than Giganotosaurus

Spinosaurus was larger than both T. rex and Giganotosaurus, which was previously the largest carnivorous dinosaur known.

Was Giganotosaurus bigger than Trex?

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.

Who would win in a fight Spinosaurus or Giganotosaurus?

In any sort of aquatic or partially aquatic space, the Spinosaurus might have the advantage because of its superior mobility. The Spinosaurus was also longer and, with its spinal fin, taller than the Giganotosaurus. However, in most land-based scenarios, Giganotosaurus would likely have the upper hand.

Was Stegosaurus a meat eater?

Stegosaurus was an herbivore, as its toothless beak and small teeth were not designed to eat flesh and its jaw was not very flexible. Interestingly, unlike other herbivorous, beaked dinosaurs (including Triceratops and the duck-billed Hadrosaurids), Stegosaurus did not have strong jaws and grinding teeth.

Are T. rex meat-eaters?

T. rex was a very big meat-eating dinosaur, also called a carnivore. It would have been at the top of the food chain. It is known to have fed on other large dinosaurs, such as Edmontosaurus, Anatosaurus, and Triceratops, and probably could have swallowed smaller dinosaurs in a single bite.
