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.

Stegosaurus
Classification: Reptiles, ornithischia
Body length: 9 m
Body weight: 3 t
Epoch: Late Jurassic
Locations: North America
Stegosaurus had 17 broad, upright plates on its back. The purpose of these plates remains unclear. Stegosaurus also had spikes at the end of its flexible tail.
These spikes were up to 1.5 m high, poking out of the sides of the tail, protecting stegosaurus from predators. This dinosaur was a herbivore, feeding only on plants.
Of course, it had to eat lots of low calorie plants to maintain its body and did that using its toothless beak. Its small brain was of a size of a nut.
