Skull of allosaur (cast)

The allosaur was a bipedal predator with a robust skull equipped with dozens of sharp teeth. Among carnivores, they are often observed mouths bristled of sharp teeth, very effective to tear meat pieces to swallow. This pattern, with its many variants, is especially evident also in predatory dinosaurs, whose fossils reveal that these animals were swallowing their food without chewing. Their sharp teeth, sometimes provided with sharp edges, are in fact all similar to each other in shape and size. Thus, they are very suitable to seize their prey and tear mouthfuls of them, but do not posses any structure useful for chewing (made by: Dinocasts.com).
