Carnotaurus
Carnotaurus sastrei
“The Meat-Eating Bull”
Carnotaurus, meaning 'meat-eating bull', was a uniquely designed predator from South America. Its distinctive bull-like horns above the eyes and incredibly small arms (even shorter than T-Rex relative to body size!) made it one of the most unusual theropods. Built for speed with powerful leg muscles, Carnotaurus was one of the fastest large dinosaurs.
