theropod
A theropod is a type of dinosaur that is characterized by hollow bones and three-toed limbs. They are part of a larger group called Saurischia, and are more specifically known for their bipedal stance (meaning they stood on two legs). Many, but not all, theropods were carnivorous. This group includes well-known species such as the Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptors. Interestingly, modern birds are considered theropods, representing the group's only living descendants.
