PaleontologistsOctávio Mateus and Christophe Hendrickx of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and Museu da Lourinhã have discovered what they think may have been the largest predator ever to roam across the European landmass.
The new dinosaur is the second species of Torvosaurus to be named, and scientists believe recently-discovered embryos from Portugal also belong to it. The number of teeth, as well as the size and shape of the mouth, are though to differentiate the European and the American Torvosaurus.
