(1.2 m) long and weighed roughly 6.5 to 14 pounds (3 to 6.4 kg). This turkey-sized predator had short arms, large eyes, a long neck, a small head, and a long snout tat may have had a toothless beak.

Majungasaurus
Majungatholus atopus, or popularly known as Majungasaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur, a therapod. It was up to 30 feet (9.1 m) long and was at the top of the food chain in its locale. It probably ate sauropods, long-necked plant-eaters and other large dinosaurs.
Dsungaripterus
Dsungaripterus was a pterosaur with 10 feet (3 m) wide leathery wings. It had an unusual bony crest running along its snout and had long, narrow, curved jaws with a pointed tip. It had flat teeth at the back of the jaws, probably for crushing the shells of its prey. It was not a dinosaur, but a type of extinct, flying reptile. They were lightly built with hollow bones, long, curved necks, long skulls, and small bodies. They had large brains and good eyesight.
