Meat eating dinosaurs are called carnivores. Carnivorous dinosaurs usually had long and strong legs to help them run fast, sharp teeth and jaws to help them eat their prey, good eyesight and a good sense of smell to help them hunt. Some of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs included Spinosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex.

Explore the external features of carnivorous dinosaurs whilst making your own dino-rama. Find out more about the dinosaurs you use in your dino-rama on our website.
