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.

triceratops
Classification: Reptiles, ornithischia, ceratopsidae
Body length: 9 m
Body weight: 12 t
Epoch: Late Cretaceous
Locations: North America
Triceratops was a rhinoceros-like dinosaur. It used to walk on all fours and had three horns on its face with a large horn plate at the back of the scull.
The horns were most likely used for protection against predators. Cornered, a triceratops attacked its predators like a modern-day rhinoceros and that must have been very effective.
Triceratops was a herbivore, eating ground plants with its strong beak. Differently from other dinosaurs, it was capable of chewing its food using maxillary teeth.
