Eoraptor was a genus of small primitive dinosaur that lived in Argentina during the late Triassic period.
Facts[]
While it look like a theropod, Eoraptor is actually a basal sauropodomorph, a clade that includes Argentinosaurus and Plateosaurus. It had multiple tooth shapes, suggesting its diet consisted of anything it can eat. Bones of this dinosaur were found in "Valle de la Luna" (a nickname of the Ischigualasto formation) in 1991. It was fully named and described in 1993. The appearance of the femur and the tibia suggest that Eoraptor was a fast runner, which may have been useful for evading predators like Herrerasaurus and Saurosuchus.
It was considered to be the ancestor of the dinosaurs before the discovery of Nyasasaurus.
In Walking with Dinosaurs: The Movie[]
Eoraptor only appearance in the Walking with... franchise was in the credits of Walking with Dinosaurs: The Movie.
