#RETROVEMBER2025: 1.2 Megalosaurus (1854)

Large carnivorous reptiles from parts of Europe. They have been known to reach ~40ft (12m) in length making them one of the largest land predators. Megalosaurs are revered for their great strength on which they use to hunt Iguanodon.

In recent times, Megalosaurs have been a frequent nuisance and sometimes hunters of man. The reduction of Iguanodon certainly contributed to their more aggressive behavior as of late. Without a main prey source, they now encroach on our space.
