Dracovenator

Dracovenator () is a genus of neotheropoddinosaur that lived approximately 201 to 199 million years ago during the early part of the Jurassicperiod in what is now South Africa. Dracovenator was a medium-sized, moderately built, ground-dwelling, bipedalcarnivore, that could grow up to an estimated 5.5–6.5 metres (18–21 ft) in length and 250 kilograms (550 lb) in body mass. Its type specimen was based on only a partial skull that was recovered.
