Daspletosaurus was a dinosaur of the Cretaceous period. Daspletosaurus was a carnivore that walked on its hind legs, had two weak arms furnished with two fingers on each, a huge head with dagger-like teeth and was about 9 metres long. The first nearly-complete skeleton of a Daspletosaurus was discovered in 1921 in Alberta, Canada among remains of other dinosaurs including Albertosaurus, which Daspletosaurus was at first identified as. However, by 1970 it was apparent that while similar, Daspletosaurus was a distinct animal to Albertosaurus, being heavier and with larger fore limbs.
