Info: This dragon-like theropod dinosaur is named for its large, blade-like nasal horn that was used for display instead of fighting, while it had brow ridges over its eyes, an overbite full of jagged, double-edged teeth, and a body covered in dermal armour. As well as preying on other dinosaurs and scavenging on carcasses, its also believed that Ceratosaurus fed on fish and other aquatic prey, using its muscular tail to proppel itself through the water like a crocodile.

Note: Based on . As usually I drew theropod dinosaurs just standing and running, I decided to just draw some being caring parents, showing that not all of them were fearsome and frightening!
