Buitreraptor
_edited_s.jpg)
Buitreraptor was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived in South America
the late Cretaceous period,
about 90 million years ago.
Its
fossils were discovered
in the La Buitrera region of Patagonia in Argentina.
Buitreraptor was about 4 feet (1.2 meters) long. It had long legs and was probably
a fast runner, snaping up small prey using its long snout.
It also had large forward pointing eyes, and probably had binocular vision, which would
have been very useful when chasing its prey.
Although the currently known fossils
of Buitreraptor do not reveal if it had feathers, it is likely that it probably did.
