The genus was primarily terrestrial but at least partly cursorial, similar to a civets. [8] Didymictis had an elongated and relatively large skull with small and low braincase and a long and narrow basicranial region. The occipital and sagittal crests are very high. The limbs are of moderate length with subdigitigrade and five-toed feet.
Giganotosaurus was one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, but the exact size has been hard to determine due to the incompleteness of the remains found so far. Estimates for the most complete specimen range from a length of 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 ft), a skull 1.53 to 1.80 m (5.0 to 5.9 ft) in length, and a weight of 4.2 to 13.8 t (4.6 to ...
Specimens of Torvosaurus gurneyi were measured up to 10 meters (33 ft) in length and 4–5 metric tons (4.4–5.5 short tons) in body mass, [2] suggesting that it was much larger than T. tanneri and was the largest terrestrial carnivore in Europe during the Late Jurassic.
Plantigrade foot occurs normally in humans in static postures of standing and sitting. It should also occur normally in gait (walking). Hypertonicity , spasticity , clonus , limited range of motion, abnormal flexion neural pattern, and a plantar flexor (calf) muscle contracture, as well as some forms of footwear such as high heeled shoes may ...
During the Paleogene, "creodont" species were the most abundant terrestrial carnivores in the Old World. [13] In Oligocene Africa, hyaenodonts were the dominant group of large flesh-eaters, persisting until the middle of the Miocene. "Creodont" groups had an extensive range, both geographically and temporally.
The teeth were so highly curved and compressed that they may have had difficulty penetrating flesh, and the tooth row extended far behind the orbit. The lower teeth were also relatively tiny and such an arrangement suggests Aerosaurus was a carnivore. Their limbs were long, and skeleton built lightly suggests they were active and agile.
[48] [32] [49] [50] This makes Carcharodontosaurus saharicus one of the largest known theropod dinosaurs and one of the largest terrestrial carnivores. [ 51 ] [ 32 ] C. iguidensis was much smaller, only reaching 10 metres (33 ft) in length and 4 metric tons (4.4 short tons) in body mass.
