  • Torvosaurus was a large europeun dinosaur that was the largest dinosaur of europe. Length: 33 feet Height:10 to 11 feet Weight:4 tonnes Location:Europe Timeline:around 156 to 145 mya
  • It was first used by Gavro to scare the D-Teams' parents in Alien Parent Trap. In Ancient Roman Holiday, it was used to "say hello" by fighting off the Roman soldiers with Magma Blaster. Later, it fought Chomp, activating its Spectral Armor and using Magma Blaster. Chomp countered it with Thunder Bazooka, but the armor was strong enough to deflect the attack. Ace joined the battle, but he didn't stand a chance either. It used Magma Blaster again and nearly defeated them, pushing them to the edge of a cliff, but was defeated when Chomp and Ace used Thunder Storm Bazooka. Its card, along with its Move Card, was reclaimed by Max.
  • Real Torvosaurus were theropods that were roughly 9 to 12 metres long. It maybe 13m based on a footprint. While it resembles one, it is only distantly related to the tyrannosaurs - it is believed to be a relative of Megalosaurus and an ancestor of Spinosaurus and Baryonyx. Remains of this dinosaur have been found in North America and Portugal. It lived during the Late Jurassic period, and was one of the largest predatory dinosaurs at this time. The name Torvosaurus means "savage lizard".
  • In 1979 the type species Torvosaurus tanneri was named. T. tanneri was a large, heavily built, bipedal carnivore, that could grow to a length of about 10 m (32.8 ft). T. tanneri was among the largest carnivores of its time, together with Epanterias (which may have actually been a large individual of Allosaurus) and Saurophaganax. Specimens referred to Torvosaurus gurneyi were initially claimed to be up to eleven metres long, but later shown to be smaller.[1] Based on bone morphology Torvosaurus is thought to have had short but very powerful arms.
  • Torvosaurus was a huge theropod for its time, and probably fed on large sauropods l ike Diplodocus and Dinheirosaurus and stegosaurs like Stegosaurus and Miragaia. It probably also preyed on the smaller carnivores from time to time as well. It lived in the Late Jurassic Period, and probably lived in swampy, jungle-like areas. It had long, muscular legs and mid-sized arms, good for gripping and holding onto prey. It also had a long, narrow skull, probably used to go in and repeatedly bite at larger herbivores.Torvosaurus grew larger in Europe than in North America, a Torvosaurus would grow up to 33 feet long and weigh up to 3 tons. In Portugal a Torvosaurus exceded 36 feet in length and weighed more than 3.5 tons. Unlike most other large theropods, Torvosaurus seemed to have thicker teeth,

In Portugal a Torvosaurus exceded 36 feet in length and weighed more than 3.5 tons. Unlike most other large theropods, Torvosaurus seemed to have thicker teeth, where others have thin, blade-like teeth, which may suggest it had a stronger bite force than most other theropods its size.
