This murderous large carnosaur took
rather a different route from the usual
carnosaur reliance on large teeth. “The
slasher” relies at least as much on its
claws as on its fangs.


Most large carnosaurs have small fore-
legs, but therezinosaurus’ “arms” are an
incredible eight feet long, terminating in
two-foot-long claws curved like scimi-
tars. The creature stands 12 feet tall
when moving.
