It is unknown whether Allosaurus hunted prey animals far larger than itself, such as adult sauropods. If it did, it is believed that Allosaurus would have mobbed the prey animals and slashed them, causing them to eventually bleed to death.

However, it may have only hunted young sauropods and other herbivorous dinosaurs such as Camptosaurus, Dryosaurus, and Stegosaurus, and simply scavenged on adult sauropods. To hunt these dinosaurs, Allosaurus probably would have hunted alone by ambushing them, then chasing them at a top speed of between 19 and 34 miles per hour. When Allosaurus caught up, it would grasp the prey with its hands and then dispatched it with bites to the throat.

Stegosaurus was an herbivore, or plant eater, so it didn't have to catch its food. They found food by foraging, and the probably spent most of the day and night eating.
