PNSO’s "Domingo the Carnotaurus" highlights the unique features that make Carnotaurus a standout among theropods, showcasing its distinctive horns, slender build, and textured skin with remarkable attention to detail. The striking horns atop the skull, which give Carnotaurus its name ("meat-eating bull"), are accurately sculpted and positioned, immediately drawing attention to the predator’s distinctive appearance.
The texture of the skin is incredibly lifelike, with fine detailing that mimics the scales and osteoderms thought to cover the dinosaur’s body. The earthy tones and subtle shading in the paintwork enhance the figure’s realism, while accentuating key features such as the muscular limbs and powerful tail. The dynamic posture of Domingo conveys a sense of movement, capturing the agility and speed that Carnotaurus likely utilized as a predator.

Carnotaurus, meaning "meat-eating bull," is a genus of theropod dinosaurs that lived approximately 72–69 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. Carnotaurus is a unique predator that stands out among theropods for its distinctive physical features and adaptations.
One of Carnotaurus’ most remarkable traits is its pair of prominent horns located just above its eyes. These horns, which are relatively rare among theropods, have sparked considerable debate among scientists regarding their function. Some theories suggest they were used for combat, either between rivals or as a defense mechanism. Others propose they were a display feature, used to intimidate opponents or attract mates. The horns give Carnotaurus its bull-like appearance and contribute to its unique place in the dinosaur world.
