DILOPHOSAUR
Classification: Teropods, Neoteropods
Body length: 6 m
Body weight: 500 kg - 1 t
Period: Early Jurassic
Locations: USA, China
The name Dilofosaurus is derived from the Greek words “di” (“du”), “lophos” (“rag”) and “sauros” (“lizard”); hence the "lizard of two rags."
It originated from the most peculiar feature of Dilofosaurus - a pair of rounded rags in the skull, made up of extensions of the nasal bones.
They are considered too fragile for someone else apart from the demonstration. Dilophosaurs were carnivores and a myth of dead skeletons because their teeth were too weak to kill a large prey.

pteranodon
Classification: Reptile, pterosauria
Body length: 6 m
Body weight: 60 kg
Epoch: Late Cretaceous
Locations: North America
Hollow-boned pteranodon was light, had a small body and no tail. It might have had fur. Its brain was large and it had a good vision.
Although with no teeth, pteranodon was a predator. It used to feed on fish, caught from the surface of the water, also molluscs, crabs, insects and dead animals, found on the shore.
It most likely used to feed like a modern-day pelican by scooping-up fish from the water and swallowing it whole. Pteranodon could flap and fly, covering large distances using their huge and light wings.
