Kiyacursor

Kiyacursor is the first ceratosaur dinosaur ever found from the Early Cretaceous of Asia.1

It lived about 40 million years later than any other ceratosaur known from Asia.1

Kiyacursor had an ostrich-like foot with a big third toe bone and a tiny second toe bone.1

Its hind legs were built for speed, and scientists think it was one of the fastest running meat-eating dinosaurs.1

Kiyacursor shared its home with many Jurassic-era survivors, like ancient salamanders, crocodile relatives, and mammal-like reptiles.1

The only known fossil of Kiyacursor is a partial skeleton that includes neck bones, shoulder bones, arm bones, and leg bones.1
