Aucasaurus lived where there was like Carcaradontosaurus and Saltasaurs that was the main long neck plant eater. And Aucasaurus would come and eat the prey. When the Carcaradontosaurus would come and steal their meal, the Aucuasaurs would have to defend themselves so they could eat the meat of that Saltasaurus.
Aucasaurus lived in Argentina in the Cretaceous time period. And that's all for today.
Carnotaurus is one of the dinosaurs that lived at the same time as the Iguanodons. And its head kind of looked like a bull, but there is something paleontologists know about the difference between a Carnotaurus and a bull and that is a Carnotaurus runs on two legs and a bull runs on four. Carnotaurus lived in the Cretaceous Period. I think Carnotaurus lived part in the savannah and part in the forest. They hunted sometimes in packs and sometimes alone, and that is all.
Albertosaurus eats meat and it lives in the Cretaceous and it lives with Parasauralophus, and Albertosaurus is a cousin to Tyrannosaurus, the killing machine.
T-Rex is much, much more bigger than Albertosaurus, and it is one of the coolest.
Something else I know about this dinosaur is that it got discovered in Alberta. And I know about Alberta because that is where my Dad grew up! It is so cool. The first Albertosaurus fossils were found in the Red Deere River bed, and it is a theropod and that's it!
I like this video because it has two of my favorites, Allosaurus and Albertosaurus. Which one do you think would win the battle? I think Albertosaurus would win.
Daspletosaurus lived in a full world. There were einiosaurus, and styracosaurus. At that time, he had two claws and lived in the cretaceous just like tyrannosaurus rex, who came after daspletosaurus. They hunt meat, but plant eaters scavenged for plants for their meal. When they died, new dinosaurs took their place. After the Cretaceous was gone then then ice age appeared and all the other creatures and then we humans came along and then that's it.
Oviraptor ate eggs, and he would steal them from other dinosaurs in his world. Oviraptors and velociraptor and protoceratops and protocephly and shuvia all lived in the desert. He liked to eat eggs, meat and plants.
Oviraptor fossils were discovered in something by China. (My dad says it's Mongolia). That's it.
Acrocanthrosaurus is a meat-eater from the early Cretaceous. It has a ridge on its back, but it's not as big as the Spinosaurus ridge. It's a part the theropard club, which means it's a three-towed feet and a long tail for balance.
A theropod has a great sense of smell! I think that Acrocanthrosaurus had a great sense of smell.
Fossils for this dinosaur have been found in Texas and Oklahoma and paleontologists have recently been able to study things about Acro's brain!!
Here's a video for you to watch. I think it's funny. There's a red carnivore and a blue herbivore. First, the herbivore whacks his tail and the meat eater bites his neck, and then the herbivore dies!
Xenotarsosaurus had two horns and it really had big lumps on his back. It lived in the late Cretaceous and it hunts for meat to eat. And it is a Therapod because it has three claws on its feet and it has a big, long tail for balance and it has big, sharp horns and that's it.
Only a small few fossils have been found in Argentina for this dinosaur and so we don't know very much about it. I think it's a cousin to Allosaurus.
Deinonychus is a good hunter and their claws are bigger than Troodon claws. They eat meat and they live in the Cretacsous and sometimes they hunt in packs.
They kills herbavoires, who eat plants and they love their toe claws that they use to hunt with. Deinonychus loves meat!
Today I'm going to tell you about Cryolophosaurus.
This dinosaur has a crest on its head. It lived in Antarctica during the Jurassic time period. It is special because not many dinosaurs have been in Antarctica. But during the Jurassic Antarctica was hot, not cold.
Crylophosaurus is smaller than an Allosaurus. Allosaurus doesn't have a crest, but Ceratosaurus had three horns on his head.
Crylophosaurus would eat meat and kill other creatures that lived in the Jurassic. In the Jurassic it was very hot. And that's it.
This is a very, very awesome video about Spinosaurs. This video is awesome because it's all Spinosaurus and I like the music. Na......na na na na na!
Spinosaurus the most awaesomest creature in the Cretaceous, but Gigonotosaurus was the biggest of them all. Spinosaurus eats meat and fish and they can run fast. Spinosaurus has a sail or a ridge on its back; this is a feature on this species that helps me know it's a Spinosaurus.
My favorite character on Dinosaur Train is Don. He is a pteranodon.
Don is the silliest and I wished I was Don sometimes, and my Mommy was Deloris the Tyrannosaurs. Sometimes I wished I lived with Mr. and Mrs. Pteranodon.
He lives in the Cretaceous. He eats fish. He has three claws and wings too! He doesn't hunt, he just catches fish out of ponds.
I like Don the best because he says "Whaa-Whaa-Whoo!"
This is a very awesome movie and you better watch it because there's a sea creature and he captures another sea creature. It's a pretty cool video. It shows butting triceratops!
I learn facts about dinosaurs in this book, like where they lived, how much armour they had, how fast they could run, and if they were scary. My most favorite page tells about a battle between t-rex vs. kentrasaurus.
My favorite part about this book are finding the hidden dino names on each page
Cool Places I've Visited
I love to learn about dinosaurs, and I try to learn as many facts as possible. I learn about every species and discover what time period they lived in, what food they ate and if they lived in a forest, by water, or in a desert. There are many places I've visited that help me learn about dinosaurs and discover more about them.
Pacific Science Center - Seattle
This museum has an awesome pachycephalosaurus
Utah Museum of Natural History
I really liked this museum. There are a lot of dinosaur bones, plus a saber tooth tiger and a wooly mammoth. Dr. Scott, the Palentologist from Dinosaur Train works at this museum. Totally cool!!
Allosaurus Dinosaur Dig
A palentologist from this museum found an allosaurus skelleton near our town and I was able to go to the dig site and watch real palentologists do their work!
