Subscribe to Epic Wildlife http://goo.gl/6rzs5u 10: Allosaurus The allosaurus is one of the older dinosaurs from the long time period when giant lizards ruled the earth, living about 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic Period - almost 70 million years before the T. rex made its first appearance. That’s right, this monster was actually twice as old as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and may have been an ancestor of that powerful beast. Most of the fossils of the allosaurus were found in the United States, in a quarry in Utah and at a different quarry in Colorado. 9: Ankylosaurus The Ankylosaurus is a general favorite of a lot of different humans. You will definitely recognize this dinosaur by the huge club that it had for a tail. It had a giant sledgehammer that it could swing around at will, and it even had a helmet of bone and a full suit of armor. The largest Ankylosaurus specimen ever discovered measured 20.5 feet (6m) in length, according to a recent study published in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences. 8: Spinosaurus The Spinosaurus is recognized as the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived on our planet. You're going to drop your jaw when you hear how large this dinosaur was. It's almost hard to comprehend. The Spinosaurus stood at 52.5 feet tall (16m), and it was as heavy as a herd of adult Asian elephants. Plus, the Spinosaurus had a gigantic sail of skin on its back that was supported by two long spines, making it a truly magnificent beast to behold. 7: Utahraptor The Utahraptor was a close cousin of the famous velociraptor, which you met in the original Jurassic Park movie. But it's actually much larger and more dangerous than its cousin. The mighty Utahraptor had claws that were 12 inches (30cm) long and shaped like sickles, found on each hind foot. It used its claws to rip and tear while basically kicking its prey until they died. 6: Tyrannosaurus Rex It's time to talk about the king of the dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus rex really needs no introduction. It has a legendary reputation as the ruler of the prehistoric carnivores. It was one of the biggest dinosaurs to ever roam the earth, and its name literally translates to tyrant lizard king. According to Live Science, this beast stood over 16 feet (5m) tall and was about 40 feet long (12m) from snout to tail. 5: Troodon Compared to many of the dinosaurs scientists discuss today, the Troodon is one of the smallest. It stood only 4.3 feet (1.5m) tall and weighed less than 100 pounds (40kg). Still, it was a dangerous predator that you would not have wanted to meet in the wild. It didn't have much strength, but it had a massively complex brain. 4: Giganotosaurus The Giganotosaurus was quite similar to the T. rex, and yet hugely different in many ways. It definitely competed to be one of the biggest carnivorous dinosaurs of all time. According to the National History Museum, it was taller, longer, and thinner than the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Giganotosaurus was also faster by at least 10 miles per hour (16km/h). 3: Carcharodontosaurus Besides just having a strange and unique name, the Carcharodontosaurus was a huge monster to be feared. According to Enchanted Learning, this dinosaur lived somewhere between 110 and 90 million years ago, with most of its fossils being found in North Africa. It was a fierce predator that had a bulky body, ridiculously heavy bones, and short arms with only three fingers and a few sharp claws on each hand. 2: Deinonychus The Deinonychus, also known as the Terrible Claw, is certainly one of the strangest dinosaurs on the list today. It was the very first dinosaur that convinced scientists that modern birds descended from dinosaurs. This happened in the early 1970s when an American paleontologist named John H. Ostrum noticed how similar the Deinonychus looked to birds. 1: Velociraptor You already know a little bit about the velociraptor’s cousin, the Utahraptor, but now it's time to dig deep on one of the most beloved dinosaurs ever. The velociraptor lived sometime around 80 million years ago, near the end of the Cretaceous Period. It actually got its name in 1924 from the president of the American Museum of Natural History, who combined two Latin words meaning swift and robber to give a proper description of just what this dinosaur was like in real life. Basically, it was a speedy thief. #biggestdinosaurs #largestdinosaurs #dinosaurs #epicwildlife
