Tooth wear, claw angle, bite marks in bone — the hunting methods of ten carnivorous dinosaurs can only be cautiously reconstructed from physical evidence, not observed.
Carnivorous dinosaur hunts don't survive as vivid, cinematic scenes. This list instead picks ten species that left distinct physical evidence — tooth wear and shape, where jaw muscles attached, claw and forelimb joints, bite marks in prey bones, stomach contents, footprints — and looks at what each piece of anatomy actually supports about how it hunted.
No single tooth or claw determines a hunting strategy on its own. Smell, prey size, terrain, speed, injury risk, and scavenging all factor in, and juveniles of the same species may have targeted different prey than adults. Behaviors like pack hunting or ambush are hard to prove directly from fossils, so read carefully for where confirmed anatomy ends and inference begins.
