Prettige feite
Austroraptor is the largest raptor ever found in the Southern Hemisphere.1
Its teeth were cone-shaped and smooth, without the serrated edges seen in many other meat-eating dinosaurs.1
It lived alongside giant meat-eaters like Carnotaurus and Aucasaurus.1
Scientists think Austroraptor could run fast because its foot bones were long and slender.1
The first fossil of Austroraptor was found in 2002 by a team led by Fernando Novas.1

?Could Austroraptor swim?
Scientists think Austroraptor may have eaten fish, but there is no direct evidence that it swam. It was a ground-dwelling dinosaur.13
?Was Austroraptor bigger than Velociraptor?
Yes, Austroraptor was much bigger than Velociraptor. Austroraptor was about 5 to 6 metres long, while Velociraptor was about 2 metres long.1
