Eoraptor



Eoraptor

had a thin body that grew to about 3 ft in length, with an estimated weight of about 22 lb. It ran digitigrade, upright on its hind legs. Its fore limbs were only half the length of its hind limbs and it had five digits on each 'hand'. Three of those digits, the longest of the five, ended in large claws and were presumably used to handle prey. Scientists have surmised that the fourth and fifth digits were too tiny to be of any use in hunting.

Eoraptor

is thought to have been an omnivore. It was a swift sprinter and, upon catching its prey, it would use claws and teeth to tear the prey apart. It had both carnivore-type and herbivore-type teeth. It lived along side herrerasaurus.
