DINOSAURS

National Geographic offers a snout-to-tail dissection of the most famous predator to ever walk the Earth.

These eight fossils have been displayed as “evidence” of imaginary beasts like unicorns, dragons, and sea monsters.

During the Jurassic Park-crazed early ‘90s, Utahraptor became a media darling. Now, more than 20 years later, some great new finds just might push this predator back into the limelight.

If you could somehow take an African safari 125 million years ago, seeing Niger’s gorgeous Ouranosaurus in the flesh would be a real Kodak moment.

Like a ’56 T-Bird parked in a lot full of hybrids, Ceratosaurus shared its range with several less-archaic carnivores. This primitive predator really stands out in films and in museums, which helps explain the odd dino’s enduring popularity.
