Dilophosaurus (di-low-foe-sawr-us) (meaning 'double-crested lizard') was a huge dinosaur from 200 million years ago that fed on sauropodmorph dinosaurs. It has a small relative named Coelophysis. It was shown in the movie When Dinosaurs Roamed America scaring off a pack of Megapnosaurus and eating an Anchisaurus.
