Dinosaurs: Q&A

the egg hunters were oviraptors.

I think that the T-Rex would have hunted, but would also have scavenged. Many predators today do...

T-rex's teeth were designed to crush bone and withstand incredible forces. It WAS a hunter, but would have scavenged an easy meal, as well.

New Dino-of-day, Therizinosaurus!!

Sinornithosaurus is the Dino-of-the day!!

i know loads about that dinosaur, the key thing to remeber about it is that i havn't got any idea about it

Caudipteryx is the Dino-of-day!! I've added a classification, I think it's right...I don'tr know much about this dinosaur, so I won't write a summary as I will do for future choices

Don't mean to contradict you ZigZagas, but scientists found that the dinosaur named Oviraptor actually ate things like clams and were actually caring parents that brooded over their eggs like modern birds.

Yes, that is actually true, ratgirl. It may have filtered underwater food, like Flamingo's do today. But it's main food sourced would have been nuts and fruit, and maybe eggs were a part of it's diet.

oh so it had a healthy diet, but then had a fried egg every so often

Lol, Maybe

Anyways, Tarbosaurus is the Dino of the Day...Check the first page for details on each one...

Acrocanthosaurus is todays dino Remember to check the OP

...I'm writing a sort of mini-book thing for future referance on my Laptop, so heres a quick page for you...I don't blame you if you don't read it, sounds Nerdy and is pretty long.




The Evolution and Changes in Herbivourous Dinosaurs.


The first Herbivorous Dinosaurs were small Prosauropods, which looks more like the coelophysoids or herrerasaurids that the later, thundering sauropods of the Jurassic and Cretaceous.

They soon got bigger, and by the close of the Triassic, the first large,bodied Dinosaurs evolved. These include the large Prosauropods Riojasaurus and Plateosaurus, and the first true sauropods also evolved in this time. Ornithschians also evolved. These include small, fast animals like the later Dryosaurus and Hypsilophodon, and the Late-Cretaceous giant Hadrosaurids like Lambeosaurus, which may have grew to lengths of over 15M and 10 Tonnes, larger than some sauropods.

By the Middle-Jurassic, the first really huge Dinosaurs appeared. Barapasaurus was 18M long, small compared to later giants such as the 28M long Diplodocus, or the badly known 60M giant Amphecolias, but was still the largest creature in its Environment.

The Late Jurassic was the heyday of the Sauropods and Ornithschian Stegosaurs. These include well-known species, such the 13M high, 40 Tonne Brachiosaurus, or the 9M long, 2 Tonne, Stegosaur Stegosaurus.

By the Early Cretaceous, Sauropods went Into decline. New, more advanced Herbivores took over from the massive sauropods and stegosaurs. These include the well-known Iguanadon and Camptosaurus, and the bizarre Ouranosaurus from Africa, as well as the much smaller Laellynasaura and kin. The reason for there success was a simple chewing motion, and hundreds of compact teeth. This meant they could digest more nutrition than the barrell-chested Sauropods. But, in the southern hemisphere, Sauropods still ruled.

In the Middle-Cretaceous, the simple chewing mothion became more advanced, and early Ceratopsian Ornitschians evolved. These include Psittacosaurus, a small, fleet footed dinosaur, a far cry from the massive Triceratops of the late Cretaceous.

The Late Cretaceous was the heyday of the Ornithshians. Giant, 9M long, 5 Tonne Triceratops roamed the plains of North America, along with 15M long Lambeosaurus, a Hadrosaur. The Hadrosaurs were the descendants of animals like Iguanadon, who took chewing to the extreme. Over 460 tightly packed teeth filled the cheeks of this 10 Tonne Giant. Also, heavily-armoured Ankylosaurs lived in the Late Cretaceous, such as Ankylosaurus and Euoplocephalus, whose eyelids were even armoured. These were the last of the giant Herbivorous Dinosaurs, all of which went extinct 65 Million years ago with the rest of the Dinosaurs.


...And Also, we have no Dino Today

Mamenchisaurus is Dino-Of-Day

Which dinosaur had the most hair?

Ho hummington...


They were reptiles. Idve thought none of them would've had hair.

Well, The Early feathered Dinosaurs may have had Hair-Like features.
