Fun facts about Allosaurus
Allosaurus had arms that were surprisingly small for its body size, but each hand had three fingers with claws up to 8 inches long.
The name Allosaurus means 'different lizard' because its vertebrae were unlike any dinosaur known when it was first discovered in 1877.
Allosaurus fossils show evidence of healed wounds, suggesting these dinosaurs survived serious injuries and fights with other predators.
Some Allosaurus skulls have small horns or ridges above their eyes, which scientists think may have been used for display or protection during head-butting contests.
Allosaurus is the official state fossil of Utah, where many of the best-preserved specimens have been discovered in the Morrison Formation.
About Allosaurus
How big was Allosaurus compared to other dinosaurs?
Allosaurus reached lengths of 28 to 32 feet and weighed up to 4,000 pounds, making it smaller than T-Rex but still one of the largest predators of its time. It stood about 12 feet tall at the hips, roughly the height of a basketball hoop.
What did Allosaurus eat and how did it hunt?
Allosaurus was a carnivore that hunted large plant-eating dinosaurs like Stegosaurus and Sauropods. It used its powerful legs to chase prey at speeds up to 25 mph, then attacked with its massive jaws containing 70 sharp, serrated teeth.
When and where did Allosaurus live?
Allosaurus lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 155 to 145 million years ago. Most fossils have been found in the western United States, particularly in Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming, in what was once a warm, humid environment.
How do we know so much about Allosaurus?
Allosaurus is one of the best-known predatory dinosaurs because paleontologists have found many complete skeletons. The first fossils were discovered in 1877, and since then, dozens of specimens have been uncovered, including juveniles and adults.
What made Allosaurus such an effective predator?
Allosaurus had several deadly features: powerful hind legs for running, sharp claws up to 8 inches long, strong arms with three-fingered hands, and excellent eyesight. Its skull had special ridges above the eyes, possibly for protection during fights.
Did Allosaurus hunt alone or in groups?
Most scientists believe Allosaurus hunted alone, as most large predators do today. However, some fossil evidence suggests they might have occasionally worked together when attacking very large prey like massive sauropod dinosaurs weighing several tons.
