Dilophosaurus Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Dilophosaurus: Dilophosaurus was a genus of dinosaur. "Dilophosaurus" means "two-crested lizard". Dilophosaurus was a member of the Saurischia ("lizard-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Dilophosaurus was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Dilophosaurus was a Theropod - a member of a group of related bipedal dinosaurs that included the ancestors of birds (although Dilophosaurus was not itself an ancestor of birds). Dilophosaurus lived between about 200 million years ago and 190 million years ago, during the late Jurassic period. Dilophosaurus lived in North America and Asia. Dilophosaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater). Dilophosaurus was usually about 20 feet (6 meters) long, and about 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. Dilophosaurus probably weighed about 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms).
