Intro
Torvosaurus(savage lizard) was a large therapod that lived during the Late Jurassic Period. It was even bigger than Allosaurus and probably rivaled them for food and territory. Fossils have been found in North America and Portugal.
Appearance
Torvosaurus was 9 to 11 metres in length and had an estimated weight of 2 metric tons, making it the largest predator of it's time except for Epanterias(which was probably just a big Allosaurus). Actually, we do not know Torvosaurus's exact statistics because only incomplete material has been found. However, we know that it was a large therapod. Recently, gigantic Torvosaurus finds have been found.
Diet
Torvosaurus was the biggest predator in it's time and area and so could prey on very large herbivores indeed. It could even kill sauropods like Brachiosaurus by itself. It also preyed on stegosaurs and could become a scavenger when food was scarce.
