Icon	Name	Description	Requires
	Mobile Neck	A long, flexible neck gives creatures greater visibility and alternate perspectives. The Sauropodan dinosaurs had the unique ability to look behind them, a useful form of defense against predators.	Rank 9
	Upright Posture	Changes in the hip, knee, and leg bones enabled dinosaurs to stand on their hind legs. They could run faster and breathe more efficiently than dinosaurs that were exclusively quadrupedal.	Rank 12

Achievements

	Toot Your Own Horn	Ceratosaurus had three prominent horns on its face. Paleontologists debate whether these horns were used in headbutting contests over breeding dominance, or for display.	75 Saurischia
	All-osaurus or Nothing	Remains of Ceratosaurus are often found near the skeletons of Allosaurus, another large theropod. It is believed that they may have vied for similar prey, or they may have lived alongside each other and occupied differing ecological niches.	200 Saurischia

Trivia

Saurischia (/sɔ:'rɪskiə/ saw-RIS-kee-ə, meaning "reptile-hipped" from the Greek 'sauros' (σαῦρος) meaning 'lizard' and 'ischion' (ἴσχιον) meaning 'hip joint') is one of the two basic divisions of dinosaurs (the other being Ornithischia). In 1888, Harry Seeley classified dinosaurs into two orders, based on their hip structure, though today most paleontologists classify Saurischia as an unranked clade rather than an order.
