If there’s one dino that deserves its own sauce, it’s the Dilophosaurus—a fast, fierce, and fabulously crested carnivore from the Early Jurassic. You’ve probably seen a very fictional version of it in a certain park full of cloned dinosaurs (hint: it spat venom… it didn’t in real life!). But the real Dilophosaurus was just as fascinating—and far more flavourful, thanks to Volcanic DinoSauce’s tribute.
5 Saucy Facts About the Dilophosaurus
1. It’s one of the oldest known theropods
Dilophosaurus roamed the Earth around 193 million years ago, making it one of the earliest large meat-eating dinosaurs ever discovered. A true OG predator.
2. Those twin crests weren’t just for show
Its name means “Two-Crested Lizard,” thanks to the pair of thin, bony crests atop its skull. Scientists believe these crests may have been used for visual displays—like attracting mates or intimidating rivals.
3. It was a speed demon
With long, strong hind legs, Dilophosaurus was built for speed over raw strength, likely relying on quick sprints to take down prey. It could have reached up to 20 mph, making it a real track star of its time.
4. It had a unique bite
Its upper jaw had a gap behind the teeth, which was once thought to weaken its bite. But new evidence suggests it used that design to grab and slice, working smarter, not harder.
5. It got a very Hollywood makeover
Despite its fame in movies, the real Dilophosaurus had no neck frill and didn’t spit venom. But hey, it did look pretty cool—with a lean frame, long tail, and those signature crests.
So… What’s That Got to Do With Hot Sauce?
Just like its namesake, the Dilopho Sauce from Volcanic DinoSauce is bold, fresh, and a little unexpected. It’s made with green chillies, fresh coriander, and ginger—giving it a bite that’s clean, herbaceous, and quietly deadly.
