Allosaurus is the most common meat eating dinosaur fossil in the areas where it lived. Sometimes an animal's lifestyle makes it disproportionately likely or unlikely to fossilize, but since Allosaurus is so common in the fossil record, they were probably relatively common when they existed.

Both Allosaurus and Apatosaurus lived in the same area at the same time, and they were both Saurischian (lizard hipped) dinosaurs. Apatosaurus was an herbivore with four legs, a long neck, and a tiny head, and was many times larger than Allosaurus. Allosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a very large head and sharp teeth.

How do you say The typical Allosaurus lived about 25 years in other words?

"An average Allosaurus had a lifespan of about 25 years." However, that isn't entirely accurate. Only a very lucky few Allosaurus lived the full length of their 28 year lifespan. More accurately, you would say that the maximum lifespan of Allosaurus was 28 years.


What animal did the allosaurus' footprint resemble?

Did Allosaurus make a den or nest?

Allosaurus laid hard shelled eggs like other dinosaurs and like birds do today. They probably laid their eggs in nests. Evidence suggests that they didn't raise their young, however. This is because the proportions of juvenile Allosaurus legs are very different from those of full grown Allosaurus, and the different leg proportions suggest that juvenile used different hunting methods from adults. If this is the case, they probably had to fend for themselves, otherwise the adults would be hunting for them.


How does allosaurus hunt its prey?

Allosaurus probably hunted large, herbivorous dinosaurs such as Camptosaurus, Dryosaurus, and Stegosaurus. If they hunted in packs on occasion, they may have even hunted huge sauropods such as Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Apatosaurus. Allosaurus probably started by stalking its prey before it would spring into action and pursue it. Allosaurus's top speed has been estimated at 19 to 34 miles per hour. Allosaurus didn't have a very strong bite force; in fact, it was only about 2,148 N, and thus it was weaker than that of lions and crocodiles. Robert T. Bakker found adaptations in Allosaurus that were similar to those of saber toothed cats. It had very strong neck muscles, relatively weak jaw muscles, and could open its mouth extremely wide. Bakker suggests that Allosaurus could have killed large prey such as sauropods by opening its mouth wide and repeatedly slashing the prey with its upper teeth, causing it to eventually bleed to death. With smaller prey, such as Camptosaurus, Allosaurus could have grasped it with its arms and then bitten its throat, causing it to suffocate or bleed to death.
