A Carnotaurus in a dry gorge
Carnotaurus is shown as a meat-eating dinosaur with two distinctive horns above its eyes. Its setting is a sandy gorge bordered by rock, an environment that suits the page’s prehistoric theme. The animal’s name means “meat-eating bull,” referring to its diet and the unusual horned skull that sets it apart from many other large predators.
Surprising facts about this horned hunter
Carnotaurus lived in South America during the Late Cretaceous Period. It had a deep skull, very short forelimbs, and long, powerful hind legs, while preserved skin impressions show a covering of small scales with larger bumps in some areas. Its horns were formed from bone and may have had an outer covering when the animal was alive.
Colors associated with Carnotaurus and its habitat

- Horns above the eyes: unknown in life, though the underlying fossilized cores are bone
- Teeth: ivory or cream when clean, with darker tones possible near the base
- Sandy ground: pale tan, beige, golden brown, or reddish brown depending on its minerals
