Yangchuanosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Yangchuanosaurus was a large theropod of Jurassic China, with a deep, toothed skull and short grasping forelimbs. A long tail balanced its substantial front.

It hunted or used carrion, but the relative contributions of these feeding methods are unknown. Small irregularities on snout bones underlie reconstructions of head ornaments.
