Big Dino and Little Dino

Hello down there! I’m one of the biggest animals on Earth. If you measure me from the tip of my nose down to the end of my tail, I’m about 70 feet long. I also weigh as much as four elephants. Pretty heavy, right?

Hello down there! I am one of the biggest animals on Earth. I’m about 70 feet long when you measure me from the tip of my nose down to the end of my tail! I also weigh as much as four elephants. That is very heavy!

I’m a member of the sauropod group. Sauropods have four legs and long necks and tails. You may have seen us in the popular Jurassic World movies! I look very similar to other members of my group—like my cousin, the Brontosaurus. We look so much alike that scientists thought we were the same dinosaur for years!

My tail is my superpower. If predators bother me, I swing my long, heavy tail at them. My tail works like a whip. I don’t need to use my superpower often though. My giant size scares away most dinosaurs!

My tail is my superpower. It’s long and heavy. I use it if predators bother me. I swing my tail at them. It works like a whip. But I don’t need to use my tail a lot. My giant size scares away most dinosaurs!

I’m an herbivore, so I love munching on greens. Because it rains so much in the forests where I live, there are tons of juicy tree leaves. This is good news for me because I need a lot of plants to keep my huge belly full. Chomp. Want a bite?

I’m about 3 feet long and weigh about 7 pounds. My tiny, pointy head could fit in the palm of your hand. Don’t let my size fool you though—I am not sweet. I am a fierce predator. See my sharp claws?

I’m part of the theropod group. We walk on our two back legs and usually have tiny arms. I’m smaller than many other members of my group, like the T. rex. But I have a superpower the T. rex doesn’t—my speed! I can run up to 40 miles per hour. The fastest speed a human has ever run is only 28 miles per hour. Pretty impressive, right?

They’re part of my pack! Sometimes dinosaurs (like me!) travel together to stay safe from predators.

I’m a carnivore that loves feasting on tasty meat. My prey includes bugs and baby dinosaurs. Mmm. To catch my next meal, I race on my tiptoes and use my long tail to balance. Then I use my claws and teeth to attack. Watch out!
