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.

spinosaurus
Classification: Reptiles, saurichsia, megalosauria
Body length: 18 m
Body weight: 21 t
Epoch: Mid-Cretaceous
Locations: North Africa
Spinosaurus was a huge carnivore with a row of spikes on its back. It had a big head with sharp, straight teeth in its powerful crocodile-like jaw.
Spinosaurus used to feed on other dinosaurs and large fish. The huge sail on its back could have been used for temperature control.
The sail could also have been used for mating rituals to attract a mate. It might have been brightly coloured like the fins of some modern-day reptiles.
