My first experience with Liopleurodon came in 1999 while watching the original telecast of Walking with Dinosaurs. Â I remember sitting in my dorm room with a box of thin mint cookies eagerly awaiting the next episode to begin. Â
Given how frequently Ceratosaurus shows up in pop culture, it is a little surprising that so few people can identify it. Certainly, one cannot fault it for lack of a catchy name, which makes it sound like a walking nightmare composed of dripping gore and massive steak knives.
With a long wiggly tail, nasal horn, preorbital horns, bony scutes along the back, and large blade like teeth, Ceratosaurus was a spectacular animal. Â This medieval dragon was not the biggest predator during the late Jurassic epoch, but with jaws designed for slicing, it was an active predator that struck fear into the Jurassic herbivores.
This new Ceratosaurus is the second figure they released, the first being a Jurassic Park-styled Velociraptor.
