both male and female of this species are the same in coloration.

​Dryptosaurus, one of the medium-sized tyrannosaurids on the island, is unique as it is one of two species of tyrannosaur that include fish in their diets alongside meat. This animal is mainly found in the southern meadows but has been seen in the western hillside during the wet season. The Dryptosaurus is one that is less aggressive than most of the island's tyrannosaurs, relaxing in the humid swampy areas of the southern meadows. Compared to most medium-sized tyrannosaurids this animals hands are massive and armed with two meat hook like talons perfect for catching small prey. All this makes the Dryptosaurus an interesting dinosaur indeed.
