New 'Megaraptor' Species Found With Shocking Last Meal Still in Its Mouth

  • Paleontologists, in September 2025, discovered a new species of megaraptor dinosaur in Argentina, along with a startling clue about what it ate. Named Joaquinraptor casali, the apex predator apparently ate crocodiles, judging by the leg bone found in its mouth.
  • As the name suggests, megaraptors were a clade of carnivorous dinosaurs that looked like giant versions of the raptors made famous in Jurassic Park. In this case, the researchers estimate that Joaquinraptor was more than 7 meters (23 feet) long, nose to tail, and weighed over 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds).
  • With no tyrannosaurs around in that part of the world, Joaquinraptor would likely have enjoyed life at the top of the food chain. This fossil find includes some of the most direct evidence of a megaraptor diet so far, which seemed to include the ancient ancestors of crocodiles.
