Hi everyone hope you are well. I come again with an interesting topic about dinosaurs. We all heard about dinosaurs and see them in the movies like Jurassic Park etc. I hope you like this information about the dinosaurs
One of the largest herbivorous dinaosaurus, brachisaurus lives 150-130 million years ago. It weighed nearly 80 metric tonnes and was 24 m long. Standing at a height of 11 m, it had an immensely long neck and a short tail. Its nostrils were located above its eyes. Having longer forlimbs enabled it to browse through the branches of tall trees.
A herbivore, Stegosaurus is also known as a ‘roof lizard’. It had two rows of bony plates along its back, which helped it regulate its body temperature and also defend against carnivorous dinosaurs. It had short forelimbs and walked with its head close to the ground with its spikes tail held up in the air.
Velociraptor, a carnivorous dinosaur, existed 99-65 million years ago. Having hollow bones enabled it to run at the speed of 39kmph. It possessed extremely large claws on each foot and its tail helped it balance while slashing at its prey. With a length of 1.8 m and weight of 45 kg, velociraptor appears to have been an agile predator of small herbivores.
Caudipteryx is also known as the ‘feathered dinosaur’ as it looked like a bird. It's arms were covered in feathers and it had a fan like tail. The small dinosaur could grow up to 1 m in length and 0.7 m in height. It possessed sharp claws and a break with sharp teeth.
Also known as the king of tyrant lizards, tyrannosaurus Rex was a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur. It attained a maximum height of 4.5 m and a length of 12 m. Its jaws were powerful enough to crush bones and extract bone marrow. It had one of the most powerful bites with the force equivalent to 3 tonnes. Having extremely enhanced predatory characteristics, such as good sense of smell, and excellent hearing capabilities helped it become one of the fiercest predators.
Also known as the giant southern lizard. It existed 95 million years ago. CConsidered to be the king of dinosaurs by some, the Giganotosaurus grew to a length of 15m. Believed to have hunted in packs, it preyed on herbivorous dinosaurs. It had a powerful jaw with teeth having serrated edges.
