The only known Eustreptospondylus specimen is a 15-foot juvenile or sub-adult, so its maximum size is uncertain. It is extremely similar to Magnosaurus, another megalosaur.

| - The only known Eustreptospondylus specimen is a 15-foot juvenile or sub-adult, so its maximum size is uncertain. It is extremely similar to Magnosaurus, another megalosaur.
- Eustreptospondylus was the largest carnivorous Theropod Dinosaur in Europe during the Jurassic Period.
- The main fossil of Eustreptospondylus was found in 1870. At first it was assigned to other genera. In 1964 it was made a separate genus. Eustreptospondylus was about six metres long as an adult. It was carnivorous, bipedal and had a slightly stiffened tail. It was a typical theropod, with powerful hind limbs, and small forelimbs.
- Image:Eustreptospondylus head.jpgEustreptospondylus ("true Streptospondylus") is a genus of megalosaurid dinosaur, from the Callovian stage of the Middle Jurassic period (165 to 161 million years ago) in southern England, at a time when Europe was a series of scattered islands (due to tectonic movement at the time which raised the sea-bed and flooded the lowland). It might have foraged on shorelines for carcasses and marine life.[1]
