Dinosaurs 101

A star of Jurassic Park, The Lost World!
Too bad his arms were too short to sign autographs!
Carnotaurus is #4 on our list of weirdest dinosaurs!
kahrn uh TAWR rus
Carnotaurus means "meat eating bull"
Everyone likes to make fun of T- Rex's arms, which looked like they belonged on a dinosaur one-tenth its size. But the stubby little arms and hands of Carnotaurus made T. Rex look like an Olympic swimmer: this may be the closest nature has ever come to rendering a reptile's hands completely useless! Keep in mind that this guy grew to be about 25 feet long, 13 feet tall and weighed about 1985 pounds! That may give you a better idea of how short his arms really were.
