Allosaurus
From Land Before Time Wiki
Allosaurus is a predatory dinosaur that has only appeared in LBT 6, where it is encountered by Littlefoot and his friends, chasing them through the forest. The gang hide in a rotting log, which is lifted in the mouth of the allosaur, who throws it towards a ravine, where it becomes lodged between each side like a bridge. The children break out carefully and flee back the way they came, while there pursuer attempts to cross the unstable log, which of course breaks, sending the hungry carnivore plummiting to his supposed death.
However, when Littlefoot attempts to retrieve a tooth from the dead Allosaurus to repair the damage done to Saurus Rock, it is shown to have survived, and chases after Littlefoot. Grandpa Longneck arrives, and so does Doc. The Allosaurus fights them alongside a Tyrannosaurus but the two longnecks defeat the two sharpteeth by causing a rockslide to fall on top of them.
The Allosaurus was predatory dinosaur that lived in the jurassic period about 155-145 million years ago. Allosaurus got his name because of the strang horns on it's head it's horns were probably used for mating or as sunglasses to protect it's eyes from the sun the horns were probably never used in battle. Allosaurus was one the most common carnivores it was first discovered in 1869 by Ferdinand Hayden and then named in 1877 by it's founder Othniel Marsh, Allosaurus measured about 28 feet, but also know that the carnivore reached over 39 feet in lenght Allosaurus also stood about 5 feet tall the Allosaurus was a real killing machine it had 12 razor sharpteeth in each part of it's mouth and 3 razor sharp claws on both claws and feet to attack such as Camptosaurus, Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus. When just little hatchlings Allosaurus babies must stay with there mothers before they hunt for themselves until then all Allosaur babies must insects for the time being. Mostly all Allosaur babies are not safe from the carnivorous monsters of the jurassic when still in there eggs a Ornitholestes could walk and steal an egg to eat them. When they hatch other meat-eaters like Stokesosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Xuanhanosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Wyomingraptor, Yangchunosaurus, Sinosaurus, Sinraptor including other Allosaurus if the mothers not there to protect them the babies are not safe from the other carnivores of the jurassic, Allosaurus have a rivialy between the horned carnivore Ceratosaurus even though the Ceratosaurus is smaller than Allosaurus the two could have fought over food and territory or if a Allosaurus attacks a Ceratosaurus though the Allosaurus was agile it was stiffer than Ceratosaurus, the two dinosaurs were impressive jumpers and could leap on to prey if Ceratosaurus and Allosaurus fought the horned meat-eater could leaped on to Allosaurus trying to attack the neck to finsh off the Allosaurus. Allosaurus 2 names when it was named by Hayden only a tail of Allosaurus was discovered he then brought to Joseph Leidy, who described the dinosaur named Allosaurus Poicilopleurodon which meant "Varying Cavity" after a european dinosaur. Soon after Leidy renamed Poicilopleurodon into Antrodemus then later Marsh named Antrodemus to Allosaurus, Allosaurus belongs to a family of theropods called Allosaurs the family were pack hunters just like wolves today, the family included dinosaurs like Big Al himself, the spined allosaur Acrocanthosaurus, the two largest allosaurs Saurophaganax and Epanterias, the two nose crested allosaurs Monolophosaurus and Neovenator including the two japanese allosaurs Fukuiraptor and Katuyamasaurus. There are 23 species of Allosaurus each as their own synonym they are different sizes and most of them live in North America such as Allosaurus.atrox, Allosaurus.marsh, Allosaurus.valens, Saurophaganax.maximus Epanterias.amplexus, Allosaurus.europaenus (a European Allosaurus) and Allosaurus.tendagurensis (a African Allosaurus).
