PALEOFICHAS: Carnotaurus sastrei - estrella de cine y un velocista aguzado

Hoy les traemos una nueva PALEOFICHA y es ni más ni menos que sobre el imponente Carnotaurus sastrei. Descubre cuándo se descubrió a esta especie, qué detalles anatómicos (además de los cuernos) la hacen única entre los dinosaurios y cómo vivía sus días en lo que hoy es Argentina. Además desde luego de detalles sobre su piel, sentidos y evolución. No te lo pierdas.
