Limiavipes curriei

† Massospondylus kaalae was a species of Massospondylus from the Early Jurassic of South Africa, distinguished from M. carinatus by subtle skull differences. It inhabited the same southern African Triassic-Jurassic transitional beds as its congener.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Limiavipes curriei was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Limiavipes curriei lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145.0 to 100.5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
