The allosaurus is by far one of the most impressive dinosaurs out there, right up there with the T-Rex and the Spinosaurus. You may not see it that way, but you don’t realize it until you know everything about it.
It’s very fast for what you’d expect, with great vision and sharp teeth. Of course, its teeth were less impressive than those of a T-Rex, which could break bones, but it was still able to kill just about anything.
