Number 10 on the list for today is Velociraptor! The deadly Velociraptor refers to a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that first appeared 75 to 71 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period. Living primarily in modern-day China and Mongolia. Although the Velociraptor was an incredibly small dinosaur for its time.

Number 9 on the list is Mapusaurus. The Mapusaurus (meaning “Earth Lizard”) was a large carcharodontosaurid carnosaurian dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. Living primarily in modern-day Argentina, the Mapusaurus was first discovered by Rodolfo Coria and Phil Currie in 1997.

Number 8 on our list is Allosaurus. The ferocious Allosaurus was a carnosaurian theropod that lived during the Late Jurassic epoch. Classified as a bipedal predator by researchers, the Allosaurus is believed to have resided in both North America and portions of Western Europe due to the large number of fossilized remains that have been discovered in these areas as of 2022.

Number 7 on our list is Saurophaganax. The deadly Saurophaganax (which translates to “Lord of Lizard Eaters”) was an incredibly large allosaurid dinosaur that existed during the Late Jurassic epoch. Classified as a bipedal predator similar to that of the Allosaurus, the Saurophaganax was first discovered in 1931 by John Willis Stovall.

Number 6 on our list is Giganotosaurus. The supermassive Giganotosaurus (which means “Giant Southern Lizard”) was a theropod dinosaur that existed during the Late Cretaceous Period. First discovered in 1993 near the Candeleros Formation of Patagonia.

Number 5 on our list for today is Majungasaurus. The deadly Majungasaurus (which means “Mahajanga Lizard”) was a species of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. Endemic to modern-day Madagascar, the Majungasaurus was a bipedal predator.

Number 4 on our list is Carcharodontosaurus. The Carcharodontosaurus (not to be confused with the Carcharodon) was a species of large carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during Late Cretaceous Period. Endemic to modern-day North Africa.

Number 2 on our list is Utahraptor. The infamous Utahraptor was a large dromaeosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period. Endemic to North America, the Utahraptor was first discovered by Jim Jenson in 1975 around the Dalton Wells Quarry of East Utah (hence its name).

Number one on our list and one of my favorite childhood dinosaurs is the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex, aka T-Rex. Topping our list of the world’s deadliest dinosaurs is the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex. Commonly referred to as the “King of the Dinosaurs,”. T-Rex was a large theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period.
