Quick Summary

Discover how scientists uncovered evidence that Allosaurus, the monstrous Jurassic predator, actually hunted in terrifying packs rather than roaming alone, turning this massive meat-eater into an even more bone-chilling prehistoric beast. Kids will love the shocking pack-hunting theory, the vivid picture of these 30-foot killers working together to bring down huge prey, and all the creepy details about what made this dinosaur such a successful killer. If your kid loves the "Who Would Win?" series or any National Geographic Kids dinosaur book, they'll devour this fact-filled dino deep-dive. Perfect for kids in 4th through 6th grade, around ages 9 to 12, who are obsessed with prehistoric predators.
