The 33-foot-long dinosaur called Torvosaurus gurneyi was the scourge of Jurassic Europe. Torvosaurus means "savage lizard", and is derived from the Latin word torvus meaning "savage" and the Greek word sauros (σαυρος) meaning "lizard." T. gurneyi—named after paleo-illustrator James Gurney—was part of a group of big two-legged meat-eaters called megalosaurs.
