Carnotaurus lived in South America during the Late Cretaceous period in environments ranging from coastal plains to rocky uplands.

Questions and Answers About Carnotaurus

What were the horns on a Carnotaurus used for?
Paleontologists suggest the short, thick horns above its eyes served as visual displays to attract mates or signal dominance. They may also have helped protect the head during head-butting contests with rival individuals.
How fast could Carnotaurus run across open terrain?
Carnotaurus had extremely powerful leg muscles and a rigid tail structure that enabled fast sprinting across open ground. Its muscular build made it one of the fastest large predatory dinosaurs of its size.
