Dryptosaurus
Drip- toe- sawr- us
Well, well, this guy needs a nickname!
It is almost too obvious!
We shall refer to Dryptosaurus as Harry.
Our friend Harry was a meat eating kinda guy who lived during the Cretaceous Period about 75 - 70 million years ago. His fossils were discovered in New Jersey and was discovered and named by Othnial Marsh in 1877.
Harry grew to be 22 ft (6.5 m) long, about 6 ft (1.8 m) tall at the hips, and weighed in at around 1.2 tons. I wonder if this guy was very fast compared to other theropods?
I have so many questions....
Who would have won a foot race between Harry & Derek Deinonychus? Do you think Harry would have stood still long enough for anyone to pet his mane?Dryptosaurus was given its name, which means "tearing lizard," because it had 8-inch (21-cm) long finger claws. Manicure or pedicure Harry?
