Idea about Dilophosaurus

Interesting.... Could be, but the crests wouldn't be practical for that. If it was venomous, then it would likely have grooves in its teeth to collect and channel the venom like Sinornithosaurus. I see it as possible, but not probable. I could see it happening though.

Cool theory! I like it. I'm going to research it some myself.

Sounds similar to a monitor lizard or a Sinornithosaurus (sorry if Makaveli already said these things, I didn't read the comments). The Dilophosaur as a carnosaur though. The skull may not have been useful for gripping prey, but with a series of attacks, it could hunt quite efficiently without venom. That, and the crests were seprate from the rest of the skull. Valid point, but slightly unlikely

In real life dilophasaurus wasn't poisonous, in the movie though there was a genetic mutation with the frog DNA,

Remember, Dilo was over 20 ft in length. Even if it did not have a very strong bite, it was still big enough to take on most prey items. Especially since most of it's prey was not too big. Animals like Anchisaurus, which was less than 10 ft long.

I wonder how hard people have studied Dilophosaurus teeth, and I was talking more about how the venom would just pour (or drip) into the mouth itself, not going through the teeth. It could be poisonous, we just don't know. And as for the size thing, a King Cobra doesn't need poison to kill the rodents it eats, but it makes it so much easier.

It would certainly help, but I have a hard time believing it. Possible, but not likely. Would make it far more terrifying though, if that's possible, haha [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/dinosaurs/1/0/k/D/-/-/dilophosaurusAB.jpg[/img]
