Dilophosaurus

Dilophosaurus was a carnivore that lived during Early Jurassic (193 million years ago). Discovered in 1970 by the paleontologist Samuel Paul Welles it remains one of the best-known dinosaurs. Most of the people know it from the film Jurassic Park, but that construction wasn't right. Dilofosaur was way bigger, didn't had that strange leather thing and didn't shoot poison. It was one of the first big theropods. Dilofosurs' name means two crested lizard by the strange crests it had. It belongs to the theropod group and to the Dilophosauridae family. It is separated in only one specie Dilophosaurus wetherilii.

The strange thing about Dilophosaurus were the crests. Some fossils that belonged to the Dilophosurus didn't have crests, so probably only males had them. Maybe he used them to scare his opponents or to attract the females. Dilophosaurus had sharp claws and that in the aiddle finger was bigger than the others. Dilophosaurus had a light built allowing him to run very fast and to be the ruler of the Early Jurassic. His bite wasn't so powerful so we think it used his claws to kill the prey. The mouth was used to not allow the preys' move. Mostly, it hunted small preys and weren't organized in packs. Its neck was long and the arms were powerful. His skull wasn't so hard and his vertebrea was very light. This was the king of Early Jurassic.
