The weak skull of this monster prevents strong jaw muscle attachments,
so it uses its taloned hind feet,
especially its spurs,
to inflict horrible wounds on its prey,
while its snaky neck strikes to deliver biting damage.
It prefers open areas to jungle, <1>
and seldom ventures into areas thick with trees.
Dilophosaurus often hunts with one or more of its kind, seeking a large dinosaur to kill for a feast.
