It then appears at the end of episode 12 “Under the volcano!” and starts to attack Danny’s Dino mech suit. It threatens Owen and Claire while Claire is helping Owen with his poison but is soon scared off by the raptors. The allosaurus first appears in episode 11 “symptoms”. When appearing in Legends of Isla Nublar Allosaurus appears with its design from the Jurassic world short Battle at Big Rock. But these were tough dinosaurs: Their bones show that they likely lived long enough for their wounds to heal. ![]() The Allosaurus on display at the Smithsonian Institute has a smashed shoulder blade, several broken ribs, and a lower jaw so damaged that paleontologists didn't realize it was an Allosaurus jaw for over 100 years. It is known that Allosaurus led a dangerous life. Often at times, an entire gang of these dinosaurs would be killed by their prey or by natural hazards, showing they had poor group coordination. While this means they hunted 'together', it was still every Allosaurus for itself. Thus it is thought that the Allosaurus hunted in large hunting gangs, similar to that of the Komodo dragon. It might have been easy for an Allosaurus to kill a fairly defenceless dinosaur-like Camptosaurus, but Stegosaurus could certainly fight back with a blow from its tail. However fragmentary remains suggest larger lengths of 11 to 12 meters (36-39 feet), though its weight would be less than the Saurophaganax, which was the heavyweight theropod of the Jurassic. ![]() It averaged around 8.5 meters long (28 feet) and around 3 meters (10 feet) tall. In terms of size, it was the third-largest theropod of its era, only the likes of the megalosaurid Torvosaurus (10-11 meters or 33-36 feet with 4-5 tons of weight behind it) and Saurophaganax(12-13 meters or 39-43 feet with 6 tons of weight behind it) exceeded it in size and weight. ![]() Computer studies suggest that Allosaurus attacked by using its upper jaw like a machete to hack at its victim, then it used its lower jaw to bite out a slice of meat, although recent studies have proven this unlikely. Like most theropod dinosaurs, its jaws were filled with serrated teeth shaped like blades. Allosaurus (meaning "different lizard") was the most common predator of the Late Jurassic period and among the most dangerous.
