\n It\u2019s a discovery, 65 million years in the making.<\/p>\n

Even though Dilophosaurus was a beautiful, but deadly addition to Jurassic Park, the hit movie of the same name was wildly incorrect in how it portrayed the deadly dinosaur, a new study suggests.<\/p>\n

The research, published in the Journal of Paleontology, notes Dilophosaurus was significantly larger than it was portrayed in the movie, reaching up to 20 feet in length and had more in common with modern-day birds than previously believed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty much the best, worst-known dinosaur,\u201d said the study\u2019s lead author, Adam Marsh, in a statement. \u201cUntil this study, nobody knew what Dilophosaurus looked like or how it evolved.\u201d<\/p>\n

At nearly 20 feet in length and weighing up to three-quarters of a ton, it was app<\/a>roximately half the size of a full-grown, adult Tyrannosaurus rex. During their teenage years, T. rex\u2019s had massive growth spurts, Fox News previously reported.<\/p>\n

Early descriptions of the dinosaur depicted it as having a fragile crest, weak jaws and spitting venom to paralyze its prey, which was seen in the movie. However, Marsh and his team found that in addition to its large size, it had a strong jaw, with powerful muscles and bones that were marked with air pockets to reinforce its skeleton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re kind of like bubble wrap \u2013 the bone is protected and strengthened,\u201d Marsh added.<\/p>\n

The air pockets, or air sacs, are not only found in birds, but have been discovered in some larger dinosaurs as well, aiding in making their bones lighter, while allowing birds to take flight.<\/p>\n

The first Dilophosaurus fossils were found in 1940, according to National Geographic, which Marsh looked at, along with a couple of other fossils, to paint a more accurate picture of the dinosaur.<\/p>\n

\u201cDilophosaurus is clearly built for being a big macropredator,\u201d Marsh told the news outlet. \u201cIt\u2019s a large-bodied animal that was built for eating other animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marsh eventually used an algorithm to compare the other fossils with the first fossil to confirm they were Dilophosaurus. The algorithm also pointed out there is a \u201csignificant evolutionary gap\u201d between Dilophosaurus and its closest relatives, meaning there are probably other relatives that have not yet been discovered.<\/p>\n

Dilophosaurus\u2019 famous headcrest is seen in \u201cJurassic Park,\u201d which grossed over $1 billion at the box office and spawned several sequels. The headcrest is one aspect the movie got right, Marsh noted, adding it may have been used in a mating ritual to woo mates.<\/p>\n

Though the hit Steven Spielberg movie got many aspects of Dilophosaurus wrong, it did get one important part right: the deadly dino lived in the early Jurassic period, which took place between 201 and 174 million years ago.<\/p>\n

Someone tell Dennis Nedry.<\/p>\n
