Eoraptor - oldest dinosaur
Best Dinosaur Pictures!

Eoraptor was one of the world's earliest dinosaurs. It was a two-legged carnivore that lived between 230 and 225 million years ago, in what is now the northwestern region of Argentina.

It had a thin body that grew to about 1 meter (3 ft) in length, with an estimated weight of about 10 kilograms. It ran digitigrade, upright on its hind legs. Its fore limbs were only half the length of its hind limbs and it had five digits on each 'hand'. Three of those digits, the longest of the five, ended in large claws and were presumably used to handle prey. Scientists have surmised that the fourth and fifth digits were too tiny to be of any use in hunting.
