Noasaurus is a genus of dinosaur belonging to the family Abelisauridae. It lived approximately 85 to 80 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period, in what is now Argentina. The first fossils of Noasaurus were discovered in the late 1990s, providing paleontologists with insights into this intriguing dinosaur.

Noasaurus was a small-sized theropod dinosaur, estimated to have reached lengths of around 1.5 meters. It had a slender and agile body, with long hind limbs and short forelimbs ending in three-fingered hands equipped with sharp claws. Its skull was relatively small, with a mouth filled with curved teeth adapted for seizing and slicing through prey.

Noasaurus is believed to have been an active and agile predator, employing its slender build and swift movements to outmaneuver its prey. Its lightweight construction and adaptations for speed would have allowed it to navigate through dense vegetation in pursuit of smaller animals. Noasaurus likely used its sharp claws and teeth to deliver precise and swift attacks, targeting vulnerable areas of its prey.
