Biography

The Meat-Eater[3][4] is a carnivorous dinosaur that famously battled King Kong in the 1933 RKO Radio Pictures film King Kong, as well as the 1932 novelization based on its script. The meat-eater also appeared in Joe DeVito and Brad Strickland's 2005 rewrite of the novelization titled Merian C. Cooper's King Kong, and other members of its species were featured in the book's official prequel and sequel, Kong: King of Skull Island. It has been debated for many years whether or not the theropod dinosaur that King Kong fought in the 1933 film was actually a Tyrannosaurus or an Allosaurus. In the film's script[3] and novelization, it is only referred to as a "meat-eater." Director Merian C. Cooper referred to the theropod as Allosaurus, while stop-motion animators Willis O'Brien and Marcel Delgado identified it as a Tyrannosaurus.[5] In its more recent appearances in literature, the meat-eater's description more closely matches that of a Tyrannosaurus than an Allosaurus.
