About the Dilophosaurus

Living during the Early Jurassic period (199 - 182 mya), the dilophosaurus had a small slender build that allowed them to move quickly and two large crests atop its head. 

They were 20 feet long, about the size of a small sailboat, and weighed between 600 - 900 pounds. It's believed that their babies grew very quickly, gaining 60 - 70 pounds annually.
