Tarbosaurus

Like it’s more famous cousin Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tarbosaurus is a tyrannosaurid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period, and is native to Asia – in fact, many dinosaur experts believe it not to be its own genus, but an Asian species of Tyrannosaurus. Growing to around 11m in length and over five tonnes in weight, this terrifying apex predator has one of the most powerful jaws ever found in a dinosaur, as well as rows of large, sharp teeth.

Concavenator

Notable for the large crest on its back, Concavenator is a carnivorous theropod that dates back around 130 million years to the early Cretaceous period. This genus can grow up to 6m in length and over 800lbs in weight, with a long tail for maintaining balance and a pronounced triangular crest above its hips. Experts believe the crest may be used to regulate temperature or act as a display for attracting a mate.

Utahraptor

As you might have guessed from the name, the therapod dinosaur Utahraptor first lived in the Utah region of the western United States during the early Cretaceous period. 5m long and weighing around 300kg, Utahraptor is one of the biggest – and slowest - genera in the dromaeosauridae family. Unable to outrun most smaller dinosaurs, this genus relies on its sickle claws and a powerful bite to ambush its prey.

Gigantoraptor

Dating back around 65-70 million years during the late Cretaceous period, the fearsome Gigantoraptor is the largest dinosaur of the oviraptorosaur family, growing to around 8m in length and weighing in at over two tonnes. Aside from its impressive size, Gigantoraptor is notable for its lack of teeth – although it has a strong jaw capable of shearing through large plants.
