Besides triceratops, which ceratopsians do you guys think possessed the most lethal horn design? In 2000, fossils of some theropod were discovered in Portugal. However, recent studies seem to show that Allosaurus had a relatively low bite force, much less than the value of sharks and crocodiles and even inferior to that of most big cats, despite being much bigger. This would have left the animal unable to hunt, and it would have starved and/or died of thirst.
This type of jaw would permit slashing attacks against much larger prey, with the goal of weakening the victim. Yes, both were separated by about 4-5 million years. Torvosaurus from Dinosaur Revolution. Allosaurus was a large bipedal predator.

However, there is actually little evidence of gregarious behavior in theropods, and social interactions with members of the same species would have included antagonistic encounters, as shown by injuries to gastralia and bite wounds to skulls (the pathologic lower jaw named Labrosaurus ferox is one such possible example). It was one of the largest known Jurassic theropods, along with Allosaurus, Saurophaganax, Edmarka, and Megalosaurus. Torvosaurus (Greek, “savage lizard”) was a large megalosaurid theropod from the late Jurassic Lourinhã and Morrison Formations of 145 million years ago.

He comes back to find an Ornitholestes on him after it fell from the tree, and chases after it.
He has a broken jaw as well as some missing teeth. Paleontologists accept Allosaurus as an active predator of large animals. Claims have been made indicating even larger sizes. Although Allosaurus did not have saber teeth, Bakker suggested another mode of attack that would have used such neck and jaw adaptations: the short teeth in effect became small serrations on a saw-like cutting edge running the length of the upper jaw, which would have been driven into prey. He is mainly yellow and orange and has a blackish-blue neck. This specimen was initially stated to indicate a length of 11 m (36 ft).

Physical Characteristics Edit. Due to its large size and 'new-age' design, the previous apex Jurassic predator Ceratosaurus was very hard competition since it was around the same size, but Allosaurus itself had to deal with harder competition from a large megalosaurid named Torvosaurus as well as the also bigger Saurophaganax. Allosaurus (al-OH-sore-US) (Marsh, 1877) meaning, "different, other-lizard", is the main character in The Watering Hole.

Another possibility is that it preferred to hunt juveniles instead of fully grown adults. In the morning, Broken Jaw’s siblings are eating the Ornitholestes.
