While the predators of today are absolutely<br />terrifying, they don’t hold a candle to prehistoric predators. Today we will be counting down the top 10<br />predatory dinosaurs. Number one is a no brainer, but do watch out for it.<br /><br />Number 10. The Yutyrannus<br />When named in<br />Study of the fossil site of the Yutyrannus holotype indicates that it would have been at a high elevation<br />back in the early Cretaceous with a cool average air temperature.<br />Feather debate aside, there is no doubt that the yutyrannus is a voracious predator, although it was<br />quite a bit smaller than its tyrannosaur cousins.<br /><br />Number 9. The Giganotosaurus<br />Giganotosaurus was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs. It roamed modern-day Argentina during<br />the late Cretaceous Period, about 99.6 to 97 million years ago. For a long time, Tyrannosaurus rex —<br />"king of the dinosaurs" — was thought to be the largest carnivorous dinosaur. Today, Giganotosaurus is<br />believed to have been slightly larger than T. rex, though even Giganotosaurus ranks behind Spinosaurus<br />in size among the meat-eating dinosaurs.<br />First described in a 1995 study in the journal Nature, Giganotosaurus was, at the time, thought to be the<br />largest carnivorous dinosaur. The specimen analyzed was up to 41 feet long from head to tail, and<br />weighed between 6.6 and 8.8 tons, the researchers estimated.<br />Not only large, but quite fast as well. Models suggest that Giganotosaurus could run up to 31.3 mph,<br />according to a 2001 article in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. Any faster and the animal would<br />lose its stability and fall over, rather like me when I decide to run.<br /><br />Number 8. The Megalosaurus<br />Megalosaurus was a very large theropod for its day, reaching between 23 and 30 feet long, and weighing<br />1.5 to 2 tons, it one of the largest. It had somewhat short, but strong arms with sharp, hooklike claws on<br />three fingers, perfectly designed for gripping onto prey and slashing into its flesh. It also had long,<br />powerful hindlegs, good for chasing down prey. Its tail, like most other theropods, was built to help<br />balance it while moving. It had a long, narrow skull with sharp, bladelike teeth for slicing through the<br />flesh of other creatures.<br />His hunting techniques were very cruel. first, he taken prey on the ground, then eat the victim alive.<br />Funnily enough, paleontologist though very differently on how this dinosaur
