Tameryraptor ("thief from the beloved land") is an extinct genus of large carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived from around 100 million to 94 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian age) in the Bahariya Formation of Egypt.
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 ...
Prestosuchidae (in its widest usage) is a polyphyletic grouping of carnivorous archosaurs that lived during the Triassic.They were large active terrestrial apex predators, ranging from around 2.5 to 7 metres (8.2 to 23.0 ft) in length.
When competition for resources is fierce, being able to reach food that other animals cannot get to is a bonus. Possessing a foot-long tongue is a huge advantage and this is where the okapi excels.
Except for an extraordinarily large specimen of A. angustidens, the largest specimens of A. simus and A. angustidens are said to be comparable to one another, [11] [12] and match the absolute upper size limit (~1000kg) of a terrestrial carnivore (based on the more restrictive energy base for a carnivorous diet). [13] [14] [15]
Amphicyoninae is a subfamily of extinct amphicyonids, large terrestrial carnivores sometimes called "bear-dogs", belonging to the suborder Caniformia, which inhabited North America, Eurasia, and Africa from the middle Eocene to the late Miocene. Amphicyoninae was first named by Trouessart (1885).
