Torvosaurus had very short arms compared to its body, but they were very strong.1

In 2013, scientists found fossilized eggs and embryos of Torvosaurus in Portugal. These are the oldest known dinosaur embryos.1

Torvosaurus lived during the Late Jurassic, about 165 to 146 million years ago.1 2

The first Torvosaurus fossil was a giant thumb claw found in Colorado in 1971.1

Some scientists think that fossils from Tanzania and Uruguay might also belong to Torvosaurus, but others are not sure.1 2

Torvosaurus gurneyi was named after James Gurney, the author of the Dinotopia books.1
