About Poekilopleuron
Poekilopleuron is a genus of carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, around 130 million years ago. It was a relatively small dinosaur, with an estimated length of around 2-3 meters (6.5-10 feet). It had a long, slender neck and a relatively small head, with sharp teeth adapted for tearing flesh. Its arms were short and ended in three-fingered hands, and it had long, slender legs and feet with sharp claws. Poekilopleuron was likely a fast and agile predator, stalking and hunting smaller animals. Its remains have been found in France and England.
