CLASS: MEDIUM DINOSAUR

​

SPECIES: METRIACANTHOSAURUS

​

DIET: CARNIVORE

both male and female of this species are the same in coloration.

Metriacanthosaurus. One of the islands medium sized predators. This species is built for taking down medium sized herbivores but they mainly prefer taking down small prey every now and then. With their large mouths, the metriacanthosaurus has a unique feature as they have the ability to swallow small to medium-small sized prey whole. Once inside the mouth the animal has an expandable throat pouch that aids with the act of swallowing larger prey. The long teeth of the metriacanthosaurus are built like knives and stab and slice as the animal bites into its prey. Although the metri is powerful, it is very bulky and heavily built which often becomes their weakness when fighting smaller agile dinosaurs. Metriacanthosaurus primary prefer to hunt alone, but they have been observed moving in pairs which often helps when taking down large herbivores like many of the islands medium sized ceratopsians. This species can mainly be found inhabiting the forested areas of the island. All of these unique features make the metriacanthosaurus a very interesting dinosaur indeed.
