Elaphrosaurinae

Lightly built, long-limbed carnivores, they were among the fastest runners of their respective ecosystems. Australian elaphrosaurines, known from fragmentary material, represent rare evidence of Gondwanan ceratosaurians outside South America. Their ecological role as small to medium cursorial predators is
