Dinosaur Puzzle

Carnotaurus means "meat-bull", referring to its discrete bull-like horns was a huge grasping dinosaur, with horns indistinctly akin to a bull's. Carnotaurus lived in Patagonia, Argentina for the period of the Maastrichtian stage of the tardy Cretaceous, and was exposed by Jose F. Bonaparte, who has discovered many other strange South American dinosaurs. Carnotaurus was a intermediate sized theropod, about 9.0 m (30 ft) in span, 3.5 m (10 ft 7 in) high at the hips, and weighing about 1,600 kg (1.76 tons). The main idiosyncratic features of Carnotaurus are the 2 chunky horns on top of the eyes, and the awfully abridged forelimbs with 4 fingers.

Although the superior part of the cranium looks powerful, the inferior part seems willowy and weak. The muzzle is extremely dulled and deep, giving Carnotaurus the manifestation of a dinosaur bulldog. Perhaps the strangest characteristic of this theropod is its minuscule, undersized arms, in all probability the lowest possible of any of the bigger meat-eaters. Its arms were so petite that the hands seemed to develop almost unswervingly from the elbows. The forearms were not greatly longer than the fingers and they did not bow. It had primordial 4-fingered hands and one of the fingers was a rearward-facing thorn. The palms pointed outwards.
