To the baker’s dozen of people who like X Drake, I’ve compiled a list of allosaurus facts, just in case that might spark some creative thought. I’m just throwing these out there.
- double-hinged jaw allowed the jaw to open to seventy-nine degrees (comparable to modern snakes)
- had a bite force around 2,111 pound-force (957 kilogram-force) (this is from a new study, replacing the old fact that allosauruses had a weak bite force)
- between 26 to 30 feet (8 to 9 meters) in length
- weighed between 3,307 to 6,614 pounds (1,500 to 3,000 kilograms)
- could reach a top speed between 19 to 34 miles per hour (30 to 55 kilometers per hour), which is actually not that fast in the grand scheme of swiftness
- legs were weak and had less muscle mass than the rest of the body
- though short, the arms had more muscle mass and were very strong
- the claws on the three-fingered hand were large, strongly curved, and very sharp
- the claws of the three-toed feet were less developed and vaguely hoof-like (less protruding and curved)
- there was a inner dewclaw on each foot
- grew until around 15 years old, and had a lifespan between 22 to 28 years
- likely attacked prey by grabbing it and then biting the throat until it died (think of modern large cats)
- likely consumed prey by holding it down with their feet and then rapidly jerking their heads up to remove pieces (think of modern birds of prey)
- had a binocular field of vision of only twenty degrees, and relied on monocular vision (using one eye to see); this means allosauruses probably had very poor depth perception, but would have been able to make out things in their environment, especially if said things were moving (monocular vision makes everything appear flat, while binocular vision allows for 3D processing) (humans have a binocular field of vision of one hundred twenty degrees, fyi)
- had large olfactory bulbs well suited for detecting smells (smell was probably their best sense)
- heard low frequencies best, and probably could not hear quiet sounds very well
- there is evidence allosauruses bit each other on the skull and crests, but the reason for such bites is unclear (probably a way to establish dominance)
Just found a 2022 study (“Fossil biomolecules reveal an avian metabolism in the ancestral dinosaur,” Wiemann, Jasmina, et al) which indicates that allosauruses were warm-blooded.
If true, it means allosauruses were energetic and had to constantly eat to stay healthy and survive.

Diez Drake—from an abusive background, X scar on his face, and just wants to provide the most moral justice he can—doing a double-take after Marineford at Koby—from an abusive background, X scar on his face, and just wants to provide the most moral justice he can—and then telling Sengoku to enlist that kid in SWORD before he signs those resignation papers.
