Fun Facts About Carnotaurus
The name Carnotaurus means “meat-eating bull,” thanks to the two short horns above its eyes. It lived in the late Cretaceous period, about 72 to 69 million years ago, in what is now Argentina. At around 26 feet long, it was a big meat-eater. Its arms were even tinier than T-Rex’s – much smaller compared to its body size. Here’s the coolest part: scientists found skin impressions with its skeleton, showing its skin was covered in small scales and bumps.
