Yangchuanosaurus Saturday




Need something with some bite in it well there no other carnivore for the job like Yangchuanosaurus.



Yangchuanosaurus is often linked to Allosaurus, but this one was in Asia instead of North america. Yangchuanosaurus had the same morphology as Allosaurus which means it would have access to similar prey items such as stegosaurus and sauropods. Yangchuanosaurus had a characteristic growth on top of its nose as well as smaller horns and ridges, and also possessed a tail that made up half of it's total length. Yangchuanosaurus was 10.8 meters long and lived in the Oxfordian of the Cretaceous period.
