Dilophosaurus & Animals with Similar Features coloring pages

 This is a free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawings are Dilophosaurus and

some modern animals that sort of look similar...

or that maybe have similar features.  

Dilophosaurus with Frill

Dilophosaurus in the Forest

Dilophosaurus emerges from the Forest

(This is an older drawing.)

Dilophosaurus was a predatory Theropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period.  It lived in what is now Western North America.  It lived 193 million years ago.  Its full scientific name is Dilophosaurus wetherilli.  It was not a huge predator, but it was not tiny either.  Dilophosaurus was about 23 feet or 7 meters long.  It had a pair of crests on the top of its head.  In spite of the cool frill and spitting of venom in Jurassic Park, there is no evidence that it could spit venom or had a frill.  Some modern reptiles, like Cobras, DO spit venom, and some reptiles have frills, like the Australian Frilled Lizard. . . so it is not impossible for Dilophosaurs to have those traits. 

The top drawing has Dilophosaurus drawn with the frill.  The flying reptile or Pterodaur is a Ramphorinchus.  Pterosaurs in the Early Jurassic Period had long tails.  The next drawing is Dilophosaurus drawn without the frill.  The third drawing today is from an older post.  It has a Dilophosaurus emerging from a forest.  Below are drawings of a Cobra and an Australian Frilled Lizard... the animals that were mentioned as possibly having some similarities with Dilophosaurus. 

Cobra in semi-arid Desert

(new drawing)

There are 12 species of cobra and over 200 subspecies.  They live in the Old World in warm parts of Africa and Asia.  They don't just live in semi-arid deserts.  They also live in rain forests. 

Australian Frilled Lizard and Wedge-tailed Eagle

The Australian Frilled Lizard lives primarily in Northern Australia.  They prefer life in tropical savannahs and in woodlands.  They are also found in the jungles of New Guinea.
