Theropods

Theropods are a group of mostly carnivorous dinosaurs that include famous species like Tyrannosaurus rex and modern birds. They were bipedal, meaning they walked on two legs, and often had sharp claws and teeth for hunting. Theropods evolved over millions of years, with some adapting to different diets and environments. Birds are considered the living descendants of certain theropods, sharing many skeletal features. These dinosaurs played a significant role in prehistoric ecosystems as predators and scavengers, showcasing a wide variety of sizes and adaptations throughout their evolutionary history.
