My dinosaur, the Allosaurus was a feared theropod and lived 115 to

150 million years ago in the late Jurassic Period. Allosaurus means
different lizard.

The Allosaurus lived in the Morrison foundation, a habitat which

recorded semi arid foodplants and forests which lined rivers. This
habitat recorded both wet and dry seasons.

The Allosaurus may have used hunting strategies such as flesh

grazing, pack hunting and ambush attacks. It likely gasped its meal
with its legs and cavernous jaws before pulling it apart. The
Allosaurus preyed on any other dinosaurs with the possible exception
of large, adult Sauropods.

The Allosaurus had a short neck and a narrow skull with a pair of
small horns above its eyes. It had D-shaped teeth, which progressively
narrowed, shortened and curved as they grew from the back of the
mouth.

The average length of an Allosaurus was about 8.5 metres and they
weighed a massive 4 tons. An Allosaurus had a top speed of 33 km/h
and was thus one of the faster dinosaurs around. Their fossils were
found in North America as well as Portugal. Recently an Allosaurus
skeleton has been sold for 3 million euros in Paris.

Today they have a reputation as one of the most feared dinosaurs.
