Dryptosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Dryptosaurus was a predatory dinosaur of present-day eastern North America. It retained larger, grasping forelimbs than the best-known late tyrannosaurs. A long tail balanced its body, and sharp teeth indicate animal food.

It was originally described as Laelaps, a name already occupied by another organism. Its remains do not preserve a complete picture of its skin or evidence for a particular social lifestyle.
