Revision as of 12:46, 19 October 2009

Eoraptor is one of the earliest known dinosaurs. It was one one of the very first to ever walk on Earth. Although it was small, it was a fierce predator. Its speed and intelligence destined it to become the ancestor of many evolved species and the dinosaurs becoming the dominant land creatures. Eoraptor had the characteristics of later dinosaurs - serrated teeth, grasping hands (although there is some speculation that it occasionally walked using all four limbs), light hollow bones and a strong, light skull.

−	Eoraptor is one of the earliest known dinosaurs.  It was one one of the very first to ever walk on Earth. Although it was small, it was a fierce predator. Its speed and intelligence destined it to become the ancestor of many evolved species and the dinosaurs becoming the dominant land creatures.    Eoraptor had the characteristics of later dinosaurs - serrated teeth, grasping hands (although there is some speculation that it occasionally walked using all four limbs), light hollow bones and a strong, light skull. Although it lived at the same time as the larger Herrerasaurus (which may have eaten Eoraptor), it has some significant differences. Some of its teeth were shaped differently and the bones in its hands were more primitive. Later dinosaurs tended to lose fingers, and by the time T. rex came onto the scene, it had only two fingers. Eoraptor had five. Even Herrerasaurus, which had five fingers, had a less useful fifth finger.	+	Eoraptor is one of the earliest known dinosaurs.  It was one one of the very first to ever walk on Earth.
