Print this free Carnotaurus coloring page for a theropod with a very unusual face and arms. The dry landscape gives you a clear setting without crowding the dinosaur.

What we know about Carnotaurus

Carnotaurus sastrei lived in Argentina during the Late Cretaceous, about 72 to 69 million years ago. It was a meat-eating theropod with two prominent brow horns, a very deep skull, a long tail, and exceptionally small arms. The known specimen was roughly 7.5 to 9 meters long.

• Its horns are among the most distinctive features of any large theropod.
• The fossil was found in Patagonia, and the skin impression included small scales and larger bumps.
• Its exact hunting behavior is uncertain, so the page keeps the pose playful rather than claiming a specific action.

Coloring and printing tips

• Print at 100% on US Letter, or select fit to page or shrink to fit for A4.
• Colored pencils are useful for horns and scrub texture; crayons cover the open ground.
• Use 65-90 lb paper or 90-160 gsm, and cardstock for markers.
• Try rust, ochre, and dusty green for a dry setting, with a contrasting face.
