Carnotaurus - interesting facts and information
- Appearance: Carnotaurus was a large theropod, reaching about 7-9 meters in length, 3 meters in height at the hips and weighing about 1-2 tons. A distinctive feature of Carnotaurus were two large horns on top of its skull, similar to those seen in bulls. The body of Carnotaurus was long and slender, with a short neck and long tail. Its forelegs were very short.
- Diet: As a theropod, Carnotaurus was a predator. It is not known exactly what animals were its main food, but it probably hunted medium-sized dinosaurs.
- Behavior: Not much is known about the behavior of Carnotaurus, but based on studies of its fossils and comparisons with other theropods, it is presumed to have been a fast runner. Its long, slender body and strong hind legs indicate that it may have been capable of short sprints while hunting.
- Distribution and habitat: Carnotaurus fossils have been found in Argentina, suggesting that it lived in the southern part of the Gondwana supercontinent.
- Threats and extinction: Carnotaurus, like all dinosaurs, became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, about 65.5 million years ago. The extinction of the dinosaurs is commonly attributed to a catastrophe, probably a meteorite impact.
- Trivia: Carnotaurus is one of the best-known dinosaurs from South America, and its unique horns and short arms make it easily recognizable. It is also one of the few theropods from which fossilized skin impressions have survived, providing valuable information about its appearance.
