Dilophosaurus
"Double-crested Lizard"

ANATOMY
Dilophosaurus was a speedy, slender, bipedal (walked on two legs), meat-eater from
the late Triassic and early Jurassic periods. It was a theropod about 20 feet (6 m) long,
about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall at the hip, weighing about 650 to 1,000 pounds (300kg to
450kg). It had a thin, bony, double crest on its head; these may have been for mating
displays. It had short arms with three-fingered hands and strong legs with four-toed
       feet (one toe was a dewclaw ). Both fingers and toes had claws. It had hollow
bones and an S-shaped, curved neck.
