Walgettosuchus Characteristics

Walgettosuchus measured around 10 feet in length, 15 feet in height and weighed around 175 pounds. This large, bipedal theropod was a tetanuran. It had short, clawed fore limbs and an elongated head equipped with sharp, serrated teeth. Its hind legs were powerful and also equipped with sharp claws. Walgettosuchus had large eyes and is thought to have been a very fast creature. Its tail was long and stiffened and would have been used as a counter-balance when quickly changing direction.

Walgettosuchus was a carnivorous dinosaur and would have terrorized large plant eaters. They may have hunted in packs. These dinosaurs were related to birds.

The Walgettosuchus dinosaur was originally discovered by Friedrich Von Huene in 1932. He based this dinosaurs existence by the fact that he found a single bone which, he thought was the actual upper bone belonging to the Walgettosuchus dinosaur. He classed this creature, as a dubious genus dinosaur which was closely related to the theropod dinosaur as well.

Walgettosuchus was originally named by Friedrich von Huene in 1932. The type species is W. woodwardi.
