Though it weighs several tons, allo-
saurus is easily one of the quickest and
most agile of the large carnosaurs. Its
forelimbs are strong compared to those
of the tyrannosaurs, and are useful for
helping to hold and tear its prey. Howev-
er, allosaurus’ long teeth are its primary
armament. When on the move, an allo-
saur’s tooth-filled head is held about 10
feet above the ground.

Allosaurus is one of a group of species
called megalosaurs, a family that in-
cludes carnosaurs like megalosaurus
(naturally) and ceratosaurus. These crea-
tures are all similar to allosaurus, though
slightly smaller. (Megalosaurus is about
10 HD, ceratosaurus about 8.)
