Ceratosaurus

Ceratosaurus, meaning "horned lizard" in reference to the large bony protrusion on its nose, was a medium-sized theropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period.
==Appearances==
===Fantasia===
Three Ceratosaurus made an appearance near of the end of the segment, attacking a group of Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus trapped in the mud pit, likely with the intention of eating them. One Ceratosaurus made a cameo walking with a Parasaurolophus after the Tyrannosaurus rex collapsed of dehydration. It was one of many starving and dehydrated at the end of the scene, forced to extinction by the endless drought.

A glow-in-the-dark Ceratosaurus skeleton toy was among one of the many toys living in Sunnyside Daycare.
===Gravity Falls===
In "Land Before Swine", a Ceratosaurus is visible as one of the dinosaurs trapped in fossilized resin.
