Albertosaurus sarcophagus meaning alberta lizard is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaurs that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 70 million years ago.
Albertosaurus was smaller than some other tyrannosaurids. It shared a similar body appearance with all other tyrannosaurids. Albertosaurus was bipedal and balanced the heavy head and torso with a long tail.
However, its forelimbs were extremely small for their body size and retained only two digits. The hind limbs were long and ended in a four-toed foot on which the first digit, was short and did not reach the ground. The third digit was longer than the rest.
As a tyrannosaurid, albertosaurus was a bipedal predator with tiny, two-fingered hands and a massive head that had dozens of large, sharp teeth. It may have been at the top of the food chain in its local ecosystem.
