Description: Sinraptor is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Jurassic period in what is now China. It was a medium-sized carnivorous dinosaur that likely had a diet consisting of small to medium-sized prey, such as lizards and mammals. Sinraptor was characterized by its long and low skull, with a pair of large, curved teeth at the tip of the snout. It had a relatively short and deep body, with long and slender legs that would have allowed it to be a fast runner. Sinraptor probably had feathers, as evidence of feather-like structures have been found in fossils of closely related dinosaurs. It is thought to have been a close relative of the well-known theropod Allosaurus.
