Fun Facts About Cryolophosaurus
Cryolophosaurus was discovered in the early 1990s in Antarctica, high up in a mountain range. Its name means “frozen crested lizard.” It lived in the early Jurassic period, about 190 million years ago. Back then, Antarctica wasn’t covered in ice – it had forests and a milder climate. This meat-eater grew about 20 feet long. Its crest ran sideways across its forehead, which is really unusual for a dinosaur and was probably used for showing off.
