Contender 1: Allosaurus
Fun Fact:
Contender 2: Cryolophosaurus
The Cryolophosaurus, also known as the "frozen crested lizard," was a carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the early Jurassic period. It was characterized by its distinctive crest on top of its head, which resembled a pompadour hairstyle. This dinosaur had sharp teeth and powerful jaws, making it a formidable predator. It walked on two powerful hind legs and had sharp claws to capture its prey.
Fun Fact: One fun fact about Cryolophosaurus is that it was one of the first dinosaurs discovered in Antarctica in 1991 by Dr. William Hammer and his team, contributing to our understanding of dinosaur distribution on the continent during the Jurassic period.
