DINO-A-DAY #35: Dilophosaurus

Welcome to Dino-a-Day, where we'll be highlighting one prehistoric beast per day until the release of our graphic novel Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth on January 4, 2011.

Each of the ninety-six creatures we'll be featuring on this blog are taken from a huge 2-page spread in the middle of Evolution. So while you can see each individual creature here, you'll need to grab the book to see them all together!



NAME: Dilophosaurus
PRONUNCIATION: dye-LO-fuh-SAWR-us
ORDER: Saurischia
EXISTED DURING: Early Jurassic
DISCOVERED: Arizona, 1942
FUN FACT: Dilophosaurus is another veteran of Jurassic Park, although its depiction in the film as having a neck frill and the ability to spit venom is not supported by science.
