Carnotaurus is the only known carnivorous bipedal animal with a pair of horns on the frontal bone. [45] The use of these horns is not entirely clear. Several interpretations have revolved around use in fighting conspecifics or in killing prey, though a use in display for courtship or recognition of members of the same species is possible as well.

An animal or machine that usually moves in a bipedal manner is known as a biped / ˈ b aɪ p ɛ d /, meaning 'two feet' (from Latin bis 'double' and pes 'foot'). Types of bipedal movement include walking or running (a bipedal ...

This fossil is a good reference. Luxquine 23:30, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Minor revisions: the base of the tail should be raised slightly as there is an upward kink (see Vidal paper), or the tail is a bit too narrow at the base. The out turning of the rear foot also obscures that it looks too columnar, the toes should extend further anteriorly.

They were thought to come from a much larger individual, with a femur (upper leg bone) length of 1.22 metres (4 ft), compared to the 0.74-metre-long (2.4 ft) femur of the holotype. These referred specimens, if legitimately assigned to Deltadromeus , would have indicated that members of the genus could grow up to 12.2 metres (40 ft) in length ...
