Fukui Prefecture in Japan is a hotbed of dinosaur fossil discovery and research. There, Katsuyama City is the site of a layer of exposed rock dating back 120 million years called the Kitadani Formation, and it was there that the fossilised remains of the first new species of carnivore discovered in Japan – in 2000 named Fukuiraptor kitadaniensis - were found. The specimen is 4.7 meters in length, but it is believed that Fukuiraptor in fact grew to larger sizes. Possessing sharp teeth, large front claws and long hind legs, it is thought that Fukuiraptor preyed upon herbivores such as Fukuisaurus.
