Here are some other characteristics of Ceratosaurus:

Size

Ceratosaurus was about 25 feet (6–8 meters) long and was one of the biggest hunters of the Jurassic period.

Armor

Ceratosaurus had small, bony pieces of armor called osteoderms running down its back, which may have protected it from other dinosaurs.

Other features

Ceratosaurus also had large jaws with blade-like teeth and a pair of small horns above its eyes.

Hunting

Scientists believe that Ceratosaurus probably hunted alone and may have scavenged on the bodies of other dinosaurs. It may have also turned to cannibalism when food was scarce.

The first Ceratosaurus skeleton was discovered in 1884 by American paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in Garden Park, Colorado. Fossils of Ceratosaurus have also been found in Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Tanzania. One of the more complete skeletons is housed at the Natural History Museum of Utah.
