Big Name Dinosaurs Not From Africa

There is a common problem that forever occurs when talking about Africa. Africa does seem to have the most astonishing animal life forms as we acknowledge them today. But people always state that Africa was home to some of the most popular dinosaurs as we currently know them. Although Africa had a wide range of dinosaurs both in the Triassic and Jurassic periods, the more well known ones were in fact not originating from Africa. So let’s take a look at which of these dinosaurs are actually mistaken as being from Africa.

 

T-Rex

T T Rex really in the daddy of all dinosaurs. To this current day the T Rex is still the most recognized dinosaur in the world. The T Rex was around the cretaceous period and in what we now acknowledge as Western North America. The fiercest dinosaur of them all was not in the African continent.

 

Allosaurus

The Allosaurus was very much like the T Rex and was one of the leading predators in the late Jurassic period. Again these dinosaurs were actually from North America, but did finally move over to Portugal and Tanzania.

 

Velociraptor

The Velociraptor was again a fierce dinosaur, but not as big as the above two. The Velociraptor was in the Cretaceous period and was originally thought to be from Asia. The Velociraptor is famous for its place in the Jurassic Park films, but it is said that the Jurassic Park films were quite inaccurate as a true Velociraptor was much smaller and had wings to its name. The actions of the Velociraptor were though spot on showing how fierce such a small creature can be.
