Personally I think the reason Allosaurus was so successful is that they weren't specialized. They were capable of eating anything in their environment (though not without difficulty since Allosaur fossils have been found with injuries from other dinosaurs).

That's a very good theory imo! They seem to be very generalistic predators, which also would make them far more adaptable to changes in their environment.

That is good, but what species are you talking about? There was a species of allo that fought stegos, and it was rarely seen for allow to win due to the stegos strength in general (there was an allo found dead or the bones of it with a hole in its body likely from a stego).

Keep in mind that allosaurus wasn't the largest theropod in its time, or possibly even the second largest. Both torvosaurus and saurophinax were larger predators that co-exist with it, though the ladder might be just a large allo. They probably all had their own niches in the environment, but that doesn't mean they never could have competed with each other, so the fact that allosaurus was more populated makes wonder what kind of edge it had on them.

[@andrewcrowley6331]

According to recent research, Allosaurus was insanely aggressive and attacked practically everything it coexisted with, even including Torvosaurus. So it’s possible their success strategy was the same as animals like the Honey Badger or Wolverine: naturally evolved crackhead energy.

[@Iman_Salihin]

Fun fact:Allosaurus (/ˌæləˈsɔːrəs/)[2][3] is an extinct genus of large carnosaurian theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to late Tithonian ages). The name "Allosaurus" means "different lizard", alluding to its unique (at the time of its discovery) concave vertebrae. It is derived from the Greek words ἄλλος (allos) ("different", "strange", or "other") and σαῦρος (sauros) ("lizard" or "reptile"). The first fossil remains that could definitively be ascribed to this genus were described in 1877 by famed paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh. As one of the first well-known theropod dinosaurs, it has long attracted attention outside of paleontological circles.

they didn’t hunt in coordinated packs like wolves, but probably hunted together as large gatherings of allosaurus have been found. there are other possibilities but pack hunting in allosaurus is very likely. and it would’ve been quite the show.

[@greenman5555]

[@sawsaurus2779]

Something I heard once was that the way allosaurus was able to take down such large prey while having relatively weak jaw muscles was because they had incredibly strong neck muscles. What they’d do is slam down their jaws onto the prey, grapple them and finish them off

[@IndominusRex-wc1ey]

The whole "slam down their jaw" thing is false, Allosaurus would break its jaw if it tried to do that. While below average for its size, Allosaurus still had a very meaty bite and super serrated teeth

[@the_monstah6378]

Another fun fact: since allosaurus didn’t have strong jaw muscles in comparison to other therapods of similar size, that meant it had other methods of killing prey. For example, Tyrannosaurus Rex and other Tyrannosaurs could deliver up to 4000 pounds of pressure with a single bite, so most of their prey was killed simply by crushing them. However, they couldn’t open their jaws very wide. Allosaurus on the other hand was almost like a snake, in the sense that it could open its jaw extremely wide. So scientists believe that a method of killing it would use was that it would open its jaw very wide and use its top jaw filled with razor sharp teeth to stab into the prey’s body. Almost like an axe wielding psycho you would see in a 90s horror movie.

[@roscoegustav9693]

These guys also had incredible specialized neck muscles to compensate for the weak bite force. They would effectively open their large jaws and slam their top teeth onto their prey, gouging then open without the trouble of ripping and tearing

[@TheDinoFax]

That 'axe head theory' has long been disproven.
