  1. megalosaur

    A megalosaur is a type of large, carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 175 to 160 million years ago. Its name means "great lizard". It was one of the first dinosaurs to be discovered and described scientifically, and is often considered a typical example of a large theropod. The exact size, appearance, and habits of megalosaurs are still subjects of ongoing research, due to the limited number of complete fossil specimens. The exact species and classifications within the megalosaur family (Megalosauridae) are also a subject of debate among scientists. Nonetheless, megalosaurs are typically identified by certain shared characteristics, such as robust, muscular bodies, powerful jaws filled with sharp teeth, and likely bipedal locomotion.
