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.
