Intro
Cryolophosaurus (frozen crested lizard) was a predatory dinosaur that lived in Antarctica! This may be weird, but when Cryolophosaurus
it was much warmer. In fact, it was the Early Jurassic! Anyway, this dinosaur lived in a pretty harsh environment 190 million years ago.
Appearance
The only known speciemen of Cryolophosaurus was 6.5 metres long and weighed about 465 kilograms. This is known as a sub-adult,
indicating that adults might have been bigger sizes at 8 metres. Cryolophosaurus's most unusual feature is the crest on it's head. It was
probably used in signalling as the crest was fragile.
Diet
Cryolophosaurus was obviously the largest predator in it's area. It hunted prosauropods like Glacialisaurus with a mixture of speed and stealth.
I think Cryolophosaurus must at aimed at making short, clean kills because long struggles would have put it's fragile crest at risk.
