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 extendable 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 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.
