Plesiosaurus. Here’s the bummer, though. It’s not a dinosaur. So even if the Plesiosaurus looks like a dinosaur with a long neck that swims in the water, it’s classified as a marine reptile, not a dinosaur. It’s unfair. Plesiosaurus often gets confused for a dinosaur because it looks like a smaller brontosaurus with flippers instead […]
Velociraptors were feathered, bird-like carnivores, ranging from 0.9–1.2 meters (3–4 feet) in length and 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) in height with a weight of roughly 20 pounds (9 kg). Their fossils were discovered in China and Mongolia. These dinosaurs often get confused with Deinonychus and Utahraptors, even though all three are members of the genus […]
Because no one has ever found a wholly preserved body of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, we really have no idea what it looked like.This image is the artist’s representation of what some Scientists think it looks like. But it might have looked like a giant chickadee. Speaking of the T Rex – Have you seen our […]
It’s safe to say that Tyrannosaurus Rex is one of the most well-known dinosaurs in history. T-rex has appeared in numerous movies, television shows, and books. Often tyrannosaurus rex is associated with being a fierce predator, but they were probably scavengers as well. It was a very large dinosaur weighing approximately 10 tons and being […]
Herbivore types of dinosaurs were all those dinosaurs that only ate plants, unlike their carnivorous counterparts who would eat meat. Herbivores included basically the entire group of Ornithischia (“Bird hipped”) dinosaurs and sauropods (dinosaurs with a long neck, like brontosaurus). They represented a diverse range of different species and sizes. Herbivores were often among the most giant […]
The Triceratops is a dinosaur that is part of the Ceratopsidae family and one of the most famous dinosaurs because of its appearance. It lived about 65 million years ago and had three horns on the face, hence the name “Triceratops,” which means “three-horned face.” It also had a frill on the back of its […]
Stegosaurus was one of the most famous dinosaurs, probably because it was one of the first dinosaurs to be discovered. And because it looked like a living fortress with its plates and spikes on its tail! It surely knew how to protect itself from potential predators. Stegosaurus used its tail spikes as a deadly weapon […]
The Spinosaurus is a giant theropod dinosaur from North Africa, best known for the sail on its back. It was one of the largest known carnivorous dinosaurs, bigger than Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Carcharodontosaurus (Spinosaurus’ main rivals in size) and semi-aquatic (lived both on land and in the water) This huge creature lived in what is […]

It’s also part of a group of dinosaurs known as Hadrosauridae, which means something like “duck-billed dinosaurs”. It had a small head, long hind […]
