About Cryolophosaurus

Cryolophosaurus is a therapod dinosaur which lived approximately 195 million years ago during the early Jurassic Period. It was discovered in 1990 by William R. Hammer in the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica. In 1991, William Hammer and William J. Hickerson named this dinosaur Cryolophosaurus; a name which means “frozen-crested lizard”.

Cryolophosaurus was approximately 20 feet long, 5 feet high at the hips and weighed around 1100 pounds. It was the first carnivorous dinosaur to be discovered in Antarctica and was kind of strange looking too. It had a skull that was around 25 inches long and has a nasal crest that rises up and kind of combs out. This is quite different than the skull crests that exist on most other carnivores—crests which usually fan backwards and not forwards.

An interesting fact about Cryolophosaurus is that it didn’t live in a frozen climate as some of the public have believed. That is because Antarctica had a very different climate during that time. During the Jurassic Period, this continent was closer to the equator, therefore it had a much warmer climate than today. However, it still wasn’t as warm as other areas of the Earth, and as such would have been somewhat cooler. It just wouldn’t have been the frozen tundra it is today. In fact, it was an area that teemed with forests and would have been a suitable environment for the carnivores and herbivores that lived there, although it probably wouldn’t have been warm enough for the dinosaurs of the much warmer and more tropical continent of North America.

Some paleontologists have speculated that this dinosaur may have had feathers like a bird. That feathers would have helped insulate these dinosaurs and help them against the cooler temperatures of this area. If that was indeed the case, then it may mean that these dinosaurs were warm blooded—much like modern birds. However, this whole theory hasn’t been proven or disproved yet.

The information about Albertosaurus:

• Albertosaurus weighed as much as a hippopotamus
• It was 3 car links long
• May have hunted in packs
• Could run as fast as a grizzly bear
• Name means “Lizard of Alberta”

About Albertosaurus

Albertosaurus is a dinosaur which walked the Earth approximately 76 million years ago during the Mesozoic Period. It is a typical tyrannosaurus therapod dinosaur and has many features that qualify it as this type of dinosaur. Some of the features include carnivorous behavior, bipedal movement on back legs, tiny front arms, hollow bones like a bird and the ability to move very swiftly and with dangerous precision.

This dinosaur was first discovered in what is now Alberta, Canada in 1884 by J.B. Tyrrell. These remains would be named in 1905 by Henry Fairfield Osborn. Since Alberta had just became a Canadian province on September 1, 1905, it seems suitable that Mr. Osborn would name this dinosaur Albertosaurus; a name which literally means “lizard of Alberta.”

Although this dinosaur had many features of it genus—a tyrannosaurus theropod—it also had some key differences that made it quite different from the typical Tyrannosaurus. For instance, its skull was quite a bit thinner than the typical tyrannosaurus and its teeth weren’t as well adapted for crushing bone as a tyrannosaurus. Some scientists believe that Albertosaurus had a bite like the Kimono Dragon. A bite that would pass on a septic infection to whatever it bit. This dinosaur was approximately 30 feet long, 11 feet tall at the hips and weighed as much as 3 tons. It also had 15 razor sharp top teeth and 20 bottom teeth.

The battle begins!

A Cryolophosaurus was walking near a beach,then he was Dinosaur similar to a big Cryo that he battled size,it was an Albertosaurus,Alberto was thirsty and hungry,so he wanted to hunt Cryo,Cryo saw that Alberto was aiming for him,so he roared,Alberto bit Cryo's leg,causing Cryo to fall,the Alberto bit the neck,hoping to snap the neck,then suddenly,a male Cryo watched them fight,it was the Cryo which won the fight with the Cryo which i battling Alberto,Cryo wanted a mate,but he needed to win a battle with the bigger Cryo,but Alberto didn't manage to snap Cryo's neck,Cryo got back up,bit Alberto's tail,Alberto tried to escape,but he couldn't ,then Alberto bit Cryo's leg again,causing Cryo to fall,both Dinosaurs were on the ground,they were wounded,Cryo got back up,dragged Alberto by the tail,bit his neck,and put Alberto's head in the water,causing Alberto to drown,after the big Cryo which defeated watched the Cryo drown Alberto,he knew that the smaller Cryo was stronger,so he gave his mate to the smaller Cryo,and Cryo made a nest with his mate,and they started a family.

Winner:Cryolophosaurus

Reason:It was faster,it had a good bite force,and it could drown Albertosaurus
