Dilophosaurus dinosaur

Dilophosaurus dinosaur, artwork. This dinosaur was one of the first large predatory dinosaurs, living around 190-180 million years ago in the Jurassic Period. The crest on its head, two bony ridges set side by side, may have been used for display. As its jaws were rather weak, it has been suggested that it was a scavenger, rather than an active hunter of prey. It was around 6 metres in length

Ancient Biped Bipedal Carnivore Carnivorous Crest Dinosaur Early Extinct Jurassic Natural History Past Pre Historic Predator Predatory Reptile Dilophosaurus Palaeontology

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Dilophosaurus dinosaur, an iconic creature from the ancient past. Belonging to the Jurassic Period, this large predatory dinosaur roamed the Earth approximately 190-180 million years ago. The artwork beautifully captures its unique features and characteristics. One of the most striking attributes of this remarkable species is the crest on its head. Composed of two bony ridges set side by side, it is believed that this structure may have been used for display purposes, making it a fascinating subject for scientific study. Despite its imposing size and appearance, recent research suggests that Dilophosaurus may have had rather weak jaws. This has led experts to speculate that it might have been more inclined towards scavenging rather than actively hunting prey. Nevertheless, with a length reaching up to 6 meters, this bipedal predator commanded respect in its prehistoric environment. The intricate illustration presented in this print allows us to delve into the world of zoology and natural history as we explore one of nature's most intriguing creations. As we gaze upon this extinct carnivore through artistry inspired by paleontological findings, we are reminded of our planet's rich biological heritage and how far life has evolved since these ancient times.
