Allosaurus (other lizard) was a large theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 145 million years ago, in the late Jurassic period. The first remains that can definitely be ascribed to this genus were described in 1877 by Othniel Charles Marsh. Many fossils have been discovered, including the famous "Big Al".

[edit] Zoo Tycoon 1
In Dinosaur Digs it is mainly a beige colour but has maroon stripes running down its back and face. Allosaurus (like most other dinosaurs) has the ability to trample foilage into rubble. It is slightly weaker than larger carnivores (Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurus) but is much more powerful than most herbivores.
[edit] Exhibit
The Allosaurus lives in the rainforest and requires large amounts of water. To contain it, electric fencing is required. It is extremely hard to place in a mixed exhibit, as it devours most of the game's herbivores.
[edit] Zoo Tycoon 2
In Zoo Tycoon 2, no official Allosaurus is available, but several are available through user-made content, including one in Reptile Rage, and an exclusive download off Zoo Tycoon Volcano or the allosaurus by darkpkm and colbert of spades (brachiosaur. They are based off the Walking With Dinosaurs version.)
[edit] Trivia
Although it attacks and eats most avialable animals, it does not attack the Javan Rhino.
