You Voted For Thrinaxodon

About You Voted For Thrinaxodon
Thrinaxodon would have been about the size as a modern day pet cat. This predator was equipped for hunting and eating small animals. Thrinaxodon''s teeth, likely fur, leg configuration, and skull shape make it one of the most mammal like Synapsidas to have roamed the Earth. A Synapsida is neither a reptile nor a mammal, but an intermediate and unique group of animals from which mammals probably evolved.
 






         
  Dilophosaurus

About Dilophosaurus
The blockbuster movie Jurassic Park featured a Dilophosaurus attacking a man by spitting in his eyes, during a rainstorm.
It is unlikely that the real Dilophosaurus could spit, or that it had extensible flaps around its neck as portrayed in the movie.
Dilophosaurus dates back to around 200 million years ago, making it one of the first large meat-eating Dinosaurs. It had two thin ridges that grew over each eye, and that were each about half as large as a dinner plate. It is not known what these ridges were used for. Some scientists believe that they were for attracting a mate, or as a sign of maturity.
