In a recent palaeontological discovery, scientists have made significant progress by identifying a new species of predatory dinosaur: the Maleriraptor kuttyi. These fossil remains have been found in the Pranhita-Godavari Basin in Telangana, close to Annaram village.
In addition to broadening India's fossil record, this discovery, which dates to the Late Triassic period around 220 million years ago, offers important new information about the early evolution and distribution of carnivorous dinosaurs. It also challenges preconceived notions about the distribution and survival of early dinosaurs.
