28. Meat Eaters

NakedScience.com

Meat-eating dinosaurs that are so viciously depicted throughout Hollywood movies are scientifically known as theropods. The name theropod was derived from the Greek word meaning “wild beast” and “foot”, given to them for obvious reasons. Theropods are classified by their carnivorous habits, but there were a few known herbivores. The beast-footed animals have distinctive claw-like hooks on their feet for hunting.
