Protection
Dinosaurs have
many ways to
protect
themselves from
their enemies.
Some dinosaurs
have bony frills
and sharp,
pointy horns to
stab enemies.
Claws
Dinosaurs eat meat
with their long claws
on their feet. Baryonx
used their claws to
spike fish. Velciraptor
walked with their
claws pointing up to
keep them sharp. It
flicks their claws to
slash enemies.
Allosaurus had three
razor-sharp claws on
each hand.
Plant-Eating
Dinosaurs
Plant-eating dinosaurs
have long necks to reach
branches in trees. They
can also stretch to get
far-away plants. Some
plant-eating dinosaurs
have tons of teeth to
grind leaves. Lots of
dinosaurs eat plants.
Stegosaurus looks scary.
It only eats plants. It has
a hard mouth and a
beak for biting leaves.
Appearance
Dinosaurs were reptiles
with scaly skin like
crocodiles and lizards.
Dinosaurs lived millions
years ago. There were over
a thousand kinds. More
forests, deserts and rivers
were much hotter than
today. There were more
insects and other smaller
animals than you see
today. Other dinosaurs
flew like birds and some
live underwater like sea
dinosaurs. Some were big
like Brachiosaurus.
Microraptor was as small
as a hen.
Dinosaur Bones
Scientists find
dinosaur bones in the
ground. After a long
time dinosaur bones
turn into fossils. As
time passes, the rock
wears away and fossils
are left.
