Description

An animal's jaws and teeth can tell us what it ate. Meat-eating dinosaurs mostly had dagger-shaped teeth to size their prey. They probably tore off chunks of meat and swallowed them, rather than chewing.

Huge meat-eating dinosaurs, such as Allosaurs and Ceratosaurs, were especially common 150 to 130 million years ago. This was the time when the really big plant-eaters like Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus were abundant. This suggests that these were the foods of the giant meat-eaters.

Tyrannosaurus rex, at 5-6 m tall, was the biggest meat-eater ever to walk the land. It could open its mouth very wide, helped by a lower jaw that bent in the middle, and use its steak-knife teeth on its prey. The teeth of Tyrannosaurus grew to 18 cm in length. An adult Tyrannosaurus weighed up to 7 tonnes. Although Tyrannosaurus is usually shown with two fingers on each hand; nobody knows how many it really had. We do know that its relative Albertosaurus had two.

This beautifully illustrated all-color book is about the big meat-eating dinosaurs and some additional ancient predators.
