Afrovenator was discovered in 1993.
It is the most complete predatory dinosaur from
the Cretaceous period ever discovered in Africa.
Afrovenator's skull has rows of long, blade-shaped
teeth for slicing into prey. Afrovenator's bones
reveal that it was a cousin to Allosaurus, a
150-million year old dinosaur that lived in North
America, however, Afrovenator has longer, more
slender bones and was likely more light-weight and
fleet footed than Allosaurus.
