[dino foot] One of the largest flesh-eating dinosaurs that walked on 2 legs, Allosaurus had muscular hindlimbs and supported its weight primarily on its toes. It had an S-shaped neck, a huge skull and jaws, forelimbs armed with sharp claws, and a long tail counterbalancing the weight of its body and head.

Allosaurs had dagger-shaped teeth capable of easily piercing flesh. They may have hunted in packs and feasted together on large herbivores (plant-eaters).
