Condorraptor
Condorraptor (meaning 'robber from Cerro Condor') is a genus of Megalosaurid theropod dinosaur. From the Middle Jurassic of Argentina, it was one of the earliest large South American theropods.[1] The animal was about 4.5 metres long and it weighed about 200 kg.[2] It is very similar to another theropod from the same formation called Piatnitzkysaurus.[3]
