Monolophosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Monolophosaurus was a predatory Middle Jurassic Chinese theropod. Anatomy indicates carnivory, but exact prey proportions are unknown. Solitary hunting and the frequency of scavenging cannot be securely established either.

Monolophosaurus jiangi was described in 1993. Skull studies and their significance for theropod classification have received particular attention. Proposed communication or display functions of skull structures are interpretations rather than observed behaviour.
