Falcatops or Falcotops ("scythe-face") is an 8-9 feet long (2.4-2.7 meters) species of medium-sized theropod dinosaur that is found on Skull Island and is seen in Dinosaur Island and Neo-Skull island. The animal is described in the book "The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island" (from 2005).
Facts[]
Falcatops is a strange, wading, almost stork-like coelophysoid theropod from the swampy wetlands of Skull Island that feeds on the large carrion-eating Incultulepas whelks.
The bow-shaped, almost toothless snout of the dinosaur is perfectly adapted to slide inside the shell of the mollusk, slicing the snail from the walls of its armor, intact, to swallow it whole.
Trivia[]
- By convergent evolution, Falcotops seems to have filled the niche of most storks and wading birds.
- Like all animals from Skull Island. It is unknown what they faced during the sinking of the island. Given the multiple expeditions, there may be a chance that a few surviving populations was saved off-land to a more stable enclosure.
