However, relatives such as Acrocanthosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Giganotosaurus continued to thrive into the Cretaceous. Allosaurus was widespread throughout North America, yet despite its success, its branch from the Allosauridae seems to haven't evolved any further beyond the Late Jurassic. The first Allosaurus fossils were found in 1877 by Othniel Marsh, during the 'Bone Wars' between Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope. The comfort threshold of the Allosaurus is high, comparable to Giganotosaurus, requiring powerful fences to be contained.Īllosaurus was one of the largest and most prolific predators of the Late Jurassic, found in North America and Portugal. Allosaurus prefer large areas of open grassland to hunt in and prefer comparatively smaller areas of forest. However, they can tolerate a decent number of other species in their enclosure, including small carnivores and herbivores. Gameplay Evolution BehaviourĪllosaurus is a large, solitary theropod that doesn't tolerate other large carnivores in their enclosure, even other Allosaurs, which can result in potentially fatal clashes.

The base genome of the Allosaurus is a blueish-grey body, a cream underbelly, light grey stripes covering its entire back, and a pair of red brow crests above its eyes. CharacteristicsĪ ferocious apex predator and one of the world's best-known dinosaurs, Allosaurus is one of the largest carnivores for Jurassic World operations on Isla Nublar and the Muertes Archipelago. Subsequently, the predator turned its focus to a family of campers in a trailer, causing severe damage before being frightened away by a crossbow bolt fired by the camper's daughter Kadasha. Ī year after the events at Lockwood Manor, a fully mature Allosaurus was encountered in Big Rock National Park, where it was witnessed unsuccessfully hunting a family of Nasutoceratops. At least one was successfully sold at the Lockwood Manor auction, while the others were released into the wilds of northern California alongside numerous other species of dinosaur by Maisie Lockwood. Several Allosaurus were transported off the island to the mansion home of Benjamin Lockwood in California.

During the eruption of Mount Sibo in 2018, one juvenile Allosaurus was encountered during a stampede of dinosaurs. Given the presence of juvenile Allosaurus on the island in 2018, it is likely that a breeding population existed on Isla Nublar. Subsequently, however, Allosaurus specimens were bred for Jurassic World on Isla Nublar, after it opened to the public in 2004.

However, they hadn't been cloned at the time of the 1993 incident, with a 1996 asset catalogue of the dinosaurs present on Nublar and InGen's Site B facility on Isla Sorna, reported that a mere twelve percent of the Allosaurus genome had been completed.

Allosaurus was originally intended to be displayed as an attraction in Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar.
