About the Allosaurus

Allosaurus lived in many places in North America, but scientists have also found bones and paw prints in Portugal, Tanzania & Australia. Allosaurus was the most ferocious killer during the Jurassic, you could think of it as the blood-thirsty predecessor of Tyrannosaurus rex. The external similarities are great. For example, they both have jagged teeth, but Allosaurus can be recognized by its three razor-sharp claws with which it could easily cut through the flesh of its prey. Furthermore, it has a protruding tail that provides balance, a very strong neck and triangular horns for its eyes.
