Dilophosaurus

Dilophosaurus was a species of dinosaur.

Description
Dilophosaurs were a type of carnosaur and as such looked like their cousins allosaurus or tyrannosaurus. Their main distinguishing feature was the large, semicircular head crests on both sides of the males head.

Biology
Unlike most carnosaurs, the dilophosaurs had a poison gland within their jaws. Though this could be administered through a simple bite, they were also capable of spitting this poison at prey from up to away. When a prey was spit upon by this poison they would experience temporarily blindness for around two to five hours.

Combat
Dilophosaurs had weak jaws so they used their sharp claws on their hind feet as their primary method for taking down prey. They hunted in packs and were capable of killing prey several times their size.

Ecology
Dilophosaurs typically lived in packs.

Habitat
Dilophosaurs preferred open terrain environments over forests or jungles.
