Allosaurus fragilis
The razor-toothed Allosaurus as
seen in Dinosaurs
in Their Time at Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
This giant meat-eating dinosaur once roamed the world 150
million years ago, long
before Tyrannosaurus rex appeared. With razor-sharp
teeth, hooked claws, and jaws that could expand to bite huge
mouthfuls
of flesh from victims, Allosaurus was one of the Jurassic
Period’s
ultimate hunters.
