=//Dilophosaurus// is one of the earliest known Jurassic theropods, but also one of the least understood. =  =This dinosaur is in the Jurassic Park movie and eats one of the characters. =

=The most distinctive feature of the dinosaur is that it has rounded crests on its skull. =

=Some studies show that the crest on top of the head could be larger in one gender. =  =The teeth are long, but have a fairly small base and grow basally. =

=Another skull feature was a notch behind the first row of teeth, giving //Dilophosaurus// an almost crocodile-like appearance. =

There actually has been no evidence of this on this particular dinosaur. Also in the movie, they give the wrong size. In the movie its 3 feet tall and 5 feet long which is not the right way in reality. =
