In China's arid and hot Xinjiang Junggar Basin once lived a very ferocious carnivorous dinosaur, perhaps you can't help but ask, how can there be dinosaurs in that barren land? In fact, scientists speculate that during the period when dinosaurs lived, it was a swamp and forest with dense vegetation, so there must have been dinosaurs, and the end of the Jurassic Period (about 146 million years ago) was one of the most carnivorous dinosaurs, which was a prehistoric world of predators and bloody cruelty.
The large carnivorous dinosaurs found in China in the late Jurassic period include Chinese Thief, Sichuan Dragon and Yongchuan Dragon in addition to Single Spinosaurus. All three belong to the same subject, Sinraptoridae. They are close relatives of the Sichuan Dragon and the Yongchuan Dragon. Archaeologists believe that Dracopods may have been unconventional food for Chinese robbers, which also brought a bloody storm to the Chinese dinosaur world.
Sinraptor means a thief from China. It lived in 152 million to 145 million years ago, and there are two species in the genus Sinraptor Dongi and Sinraptor hepingensis. Among them, Dong's Chinese robbery dragon was really found deep in the Shishugou Formation formation of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, where it was buried in a very hard rock layer. It took scientists more than two years in 1987 and 1988 to unearth it in its entirety. Its species name is to pay tribute to the famous paleontologist Dong Zhiming, in honor of Professor Dong Zhiming's outstanding contribution to the study of Chinese tarponosaurs. The main reason why the Peaceful Chinese Robber Dragon got its name is that it was found in Heping Township, Zigong City, Sichuan Province, another known as the hometown of dinosaurs in China, which is enough to show that the Chinese Robber Dragon was once very widely distributed, it is more primitive than Allosaurus, similar to the early theropod dinosaurs.
Dong's Chinese Thief is about 7.5 meters long, weighs 1.85 tons, and is nearly 2.9 meters high. The peaceful Chinese robberosaur is larger, reaching about 9.1 meters, weighing about 3.1 tons, and 3.2 meters high. However, at first, the Peaceful Chinese Robber was still a member of the Chinese Thief Family, and thanks to the existence of the Chinese Thief Family, it was incorporated into it. Chinese Troverosaurus is a chordate phylum, a vertebrate subphylum, a dipotaur suborder, a sauropod, a theropod, and is one of the large carnivorous dinosaurs known to date in Asia, ranking 234th in size among the 774 known dinosaur species. It is characterized by: the skull is very stout, the outer nostrils are in the shape of a goose, the widest front and back are in the middle and lower parts, there is a concave maxilla, the skull is long and low, the proportion of the skull is moderate, and there are 12 openings on both sides. The strong forelimbs and slender hind limbs of the Chinese Thief suggest that it may have been a high-speed killer, with an astonishing bite force and a high height among dinosaurs of the same body length, and other materialists believe that the Chinese Thief may have been a herd predator, feeding on other dinosaurs and occasionally eating carrion.
Paleontologists have found many lesions on many herbivorous dinosaur fossils, many scars, and even tooth marks on the bones of the body. Through these traces, it can be seen that the Chinese Robber also faced diseases and other large carnivorous dinosaurs in the food chain and predation, and it was the exquisite and complete fossils excavated that allowed us to peek into the leopard, a strange dinosaur in the prehistoric world.
