Nuthetes
Nuthetes was a small, meat-eating dinosaur that lived about 143 million years ago. It had sharp, serrated teeth like a steak knife, perfect for slicing through flesh. Scientists think it might have been one of the earliest dromaeosaurids, the group that includes Velociraptor.1

Dintlha tse di monate
Nuthetes was first thought to be a lizard or a crocodile, but later scientists realized it was a dinosaur.1
Its name comes from Greek and means 'one who admonishes' or 'a monitor', because its teeth look like those of a modern monitor lizard.1
Nuthetes is known only from teeth and jaw fragments, so scientists are not sure exactly what it looked like.1
If Nuthetes was a dromaeosaurid, it would be one of the oldest dromaeosaurids ever found.1
Some scientists think Nuthetes might be a tyrannosauroid instead of a dromaeosaurid, because its teeth look similar to those of Proceratosaurus.1
The first Nuthetes fossil was found by Charles Willcox, an amateur fossil hunter, in a quarry near Swanage, England.1
Nuthetes was about the size of a modern Bengal monitor lizard, which is around 1.5 to 2 meters long.1
