Allosaurus Lady sketch (Patreon)

Allosaurus lady! I had no clue these dinosaurs were THIS popular.Here are some hard cold facts copy pasted from the internet

Time period: Lived during the Late Jurassic, roughly 155–145 million years ago.

Location: Primarily found in the Morrison Formation of North America, one of the richest dinosaur fossil sites.

Size: Typically 8–10 meters long; the largest individuals may have reached 12 meters.

Weight: Estimated between 1–2 tons, depending on age and specimen.

Arms & claws: Had three-fingered, functional arms with strong claws — unlike the reduced forelimbs of later tyrannosaurids.

Skull structure: Light, strong, and filled with air pockets, making it both durable and efficient for fast strikes.

Teeth: Serrated, curved teeth adapted for slashing and tearing flesh rather than crushing bone.

Bite mechanics: Likely used a “hatchet-style” bite, swinging its head downward to deliver cutting blows.

Vision: Forward-facing eyes provided good depth perception, useful for hunting.

Growth: Juveniles were more slender and agile, suggesting different hunting strategies at different life stages.

Behavior: Evidence suggests possible group hunting or at least tolerance among individuals, though not confirmed pack behavior.

Fossil abundance: One of the most common large predators in the Morrison Formation, with many well-preserved specimens.
