Meet the Dilophosaurus, one of the fastest and most eye-catching predators of the prehistoric world. Known as the Double-Crested Lizard, this agile dinosaur stood out thanks to the two thin crests on its head—features believed to be used for display, communication, or attracting mates rather than defense.
Despite reaching an impressive 6 meters in length, Dilophosaurus was relatively lightweight at around 500 kg, allowing it to sprint at speeds of up to 38 km/h. The Schleich® Dilophosaurus figurine captures this dinosaur’s sleek build, dynamic posture, and iconic crests, making it perfect for high-energy imaginative play and educational discovery.
