Dilophosaurus

Dilophosaurus (Tokamøgle) was a large, vigorus built Ceratosaur with a couple of leafthin loins, probably for the looks. Maybe the males would stand sideways towards another male and nod the head up and down to seem taller than he really was. That may have attracted females and scared away smaller males so that Dilophosaurus could win the right to a female without fighting. Pieces of what we think is Dilophosaurus have been found as far from each others as Arizona and China.


Like Coelophysis the Dilophosaurus also had a marked curve in the upper jaw with a gap between the teeth. Scientists believe they are closely related, even tho Dilophosaurus was larger and lived in early Jura, Millions of years after Coelophysis, who lived in late Trias. The Twin Loins pointing up besides each others in the head where too fragile to be used in battle.



Dilophosaurus would grow to be around 6 meters long, and would eat anything as long as it was meat, and possible to catch. They would most likely hunt in smaller or larger groups, depending on the place they lived, the most common meat source etc. They was believed to be quite fast, and they had scaringly sharp claws, tho they are still beaten by the Velociraptor.
