About
The Allosaurus fragilis was a late Jurassic predatory dinosaur that grew to nearly twenty-eight feet in length.
This species was the most common large predator of its ecosystem, though it was considerably smaller than the later Tyrannosaurus rex. Fossil specimens vary in length, with some individuals measuring closer to 25 feet (7.6 m) while rare adults approached 32 feet (9.7 m). Despite its substantial length and height, internal air pockets in its vertebrae helped keep the animal relatively lightweight.
From Wikipedia
Allosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 143 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. The first fossil remains that could definitively be ascribed to this genus were described in 1877 by Othniel C.
