Why Kids Love Learning About Ceratosaurus
If you're looking for ceratosaurus coloring pages and facts for kids, you've found the theropod with the coolest nose horn!

For kids, Ceratosaurus is the perfect "different" predator - not as famous as T. rex or Allosaurus, but with a unique look all its own.
Amazing Ceratosaurus Facts
- Fact 1: Late Jurassic, 153-148 million years ago, in North America and possibly Europe/Africa.
- Fact 2: Carnivore that hunted fish, small dinosaurs, and maybe scavenged. Its teeth were unusually long!
- Fact 3: Up to 23 feet long, 7 feet tall, weighing about 1 ton. The nose horn could be 3 inches long.
- Fact 4: Unlike most theropods with three fingers, Ceratosaurus had FOUR fingers on each hand. Its body had rows of bony osteoderms (armor scutes) down its back - rare for a theropod!
- Fact 5: First discovered in 1884 in Colorado. The nose horn was so unusual that scientists initially thought it might be a new type of horned dinosaur!
