*Ostafrikasaurus* is a potentially dubious genus of theropod dinosaur from the **Late Jurassic** period of what is now the Lindi Region, **Tanzania**.  
It is known only from fossil teeth discovered sometime between 1909 and 1912, during an expedition to the Tendaguru Formation by the Natural History Museum of Berlin.  
The teeth bear a resemblance to those of spinosaurids, leading some researchers to consider it a possible early member of that group.

---

## Appearance
- Medium-sized theropod with a robust, muscular build and a long, counterbalancing tail
- Displays clear sexual dimorphism in coloration:
- **Males** have a light green base with bold orange-red dorsal banding running from the head to the tail tip, with darker green patches along the back and a pale yellowish-green underbelly and legs
- **Females** are a uniform dark green with subtle darker green banding, and a lighter green underbelly and legs
- In-game size: **10 blocks long** and **4 blocks tall**

---

## Behavior
- **Hostile**: Actively attacks players and most creatures on sight
- A dangerous apex predator of its environment, capable of pursuing prey over distance
- May exhibit increased aggression near water, consistent with possible spinosaurid affinities

---

## Obtaining
Ostafrikasaurus does not spawn naturally. To obtain one, you must:
1. Enable [Experimental Features]($references/experimental)
2. Find ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/games_l/ostafrikasaurus/ostafrikasaurus_fossil_remains) [**Ostafrikasaurus Remains**]($content/items/fossil) or fossils
3. Use the fossil revival process to create an Ostafrikasaurus
4. Hatch from an **Ostrich Egg** type egg

---

## Diet
- **Carnivore**: feeds on <img src="https://i.imgur.com/4K6xsJA.gif" width={32} height={32} style={{imageRendering: "pixelated"}}/> meat sources
- An active predator, likely capable of ambushing or pursuing prey

- Ostafrikasaurus is a very mysterious dinosaur, as it is only known from its teeth, however, they resemble that of Spinosaurids, meaning that it is potentially a Spinosaurid!
- Ostafrikasaurus lived in what is now the Lindi Region of Tanzania, in the Late Jurassic Period, which if it is in fact a Spinosaurid, would make it one of the earliest Spinosaurids to exist!
- Ostafrikasaurus lived alongside other dinosaurs such as Giraffatitan and Kentrosaurus!
