“DINOSAURS” “DINOSAURS”
Exciting Day today as we were going to “World of Dinos”. Watching Dinos, Touching Dinos, Learning details about Dinos...... in one world summarised Dinos ! ! !
We were invited by a deadly one at the entrance; looking good ! ! ! As we entered a gloomy setting could be seen. Dark, Dino sounds and a scary setting.
The first Dinosaur we saw was the Kentrosaurus. It has a little head, little brain the size of an orange. A funny detail about this Dino was that it swallowed little pebbles to grind the plants in its stomach ...
The next Dino was the Cryolophosaurus, what basically means Lizard with frozen Crest, lived in Antarctica. Good hunter to big to run though ! ! !
AAAAAHHHHH
Everybody knows the Velociraptor of course. The Raptor from the movie Jurassic Park, can eat a couple people in 30 seconds. It ate little dinosaurs though. They had a whole scene for this dinosaur and a couple were walking around. The first Velociraptor bones were found in Mongolia, China. One of the smartest dinosaurs, made him a fierce one. Was even able to attack bigger dinos than his own size.
The Shadow of the Velociraptor was already scary ! ! !
We had to walk a particular way, but in between we saw a couple bones. This was a Shunosaurus .... eh ....... big.
The Tochisaurus .... the next Dino, was a small dinosaur ....
SMALL ! ! ! ! —–) 4 METERS ! ! !
oh well, it has a nickname Ostrich Reptile and lived in Asia and North America and ate mainly meat. They used to have very large brains and small claws.
And now we were confronted with the Shunosaurus ....“alive” .....
Big herbivore that has a longer tail than its neck. His teeth were round in order to tear plants out of the ground.
The Oviraptor is a bad bad bad kitty ..... The name means Egg Thief, which he was. He did not eat the eggs, what was thought initially but he sat on nests and brooding the nest. Very protective of babies, even other dinosaurs' nests ..... they were deadly sitting on nests, protecting the eggs.
The next one was very alive:
The Dongyangosaurus was found for the first time in 2008. Noah really liked this name and has probably said it like 80 times ! ! ! Not a whole lot known about this plant eating creature, so we also moved on very quickly ! ! !
The next one, really looks familiar, but it is not the one you are thinking of. That one will be presented later. This Protoceratops was friendly, very common, ate plants and was only 2 meters “short”
We did go a little faster and before we knew we were standing in front of the biggest one of them all, absolute huge ! ! !
Please, say hi to the Omeisaurus. 12 meters long and 4 meters heigh. This would definitely scare you, if you open your window in the morning, just woken up, hello neighbour ! ! ! This animal had to eat all day to feed its big corps, no chewing, just swallowing, therefore he also swallowed little rocks, to solve “the plant problem” in its stomach ! ! ! A friendly creature ..... you see a little bit of a turtle in its face ! ! !
We really had a lot of fun ! ! !
One we had NEVER seen was Confuciusornis ... “Bird of Confucius” Has a lot of bird like features, no back tail and his “hands” have big claws ..... killing claws. A nice predator ! ! !
We saw other flying Dinosaurs: the Pterodactylus, in Pokemon world, this would be the Aerodactylus ....small and lived about 150 million years ago. Would have loved to see this flying around. The first Pterodactulus bones were found in Germany in 1780. Not very good at walking but flying ..... like a kite. Hunted fish but lived on the land ! ! !
Little fun in between .... well it was fun all the way. We learnt, walked and had fun ! ! !
And then it was time for the emperor himself. The big guns were brought to our attention. We were introduced to:
TYRANNOSAURUS REX
THE Dinosaur that has been featured the most in Dinosaur movies. A length of 12 meters and a weight of 6000 kilos, 1 of the biggest out there ! ! ! 50 teeth in his mouth made him having one of the most powerful jaws.He was able to crack any bone with his teeth. Standing up, erected, he was longer than 5 meters and lived in North America. Something people do not really know about the T-Rex, it may have had feathers on some body parts ! ! !
Next up, the Albertosaurus. I did not really want to feature this one, but kinda had to. This Dino, the Albertosaurus is the ancestor of ..... XRPGord ! ! ! Lived in Canada. This one had very small thin front legs with two fingers on it, but showed very long hind legs with three large toes. nice to meet you XRPGaurus ! ! !
The resemblance ! ! !
The Protoceratops, shown earlier looks like a known dino but the next one is THE ONE you know. The Triceratops, well known raptor from the Jurassic Park movies, was one of the last dinosaurs living on earth ....
We also saw a nice skelet of the Stegosaurus; but also a “real” one:
The absolute biggest Dinosaur displayed, one of the biggest of them all, had a hall all by itself, the BrachioSaurus. 40.000 kilos heavy, that is the weight of 8 adult African elephants ..... together ! ! ! He was able to eat leaves from 14 meter long trees and if the tree was too long, he would just push it, until he was able to eat. The BrachioSaurus had a length of 25 meters ! ! !
Dimetrodon lived way before any other Dinosaur walked this earth, he actually lived without any of the other Dinosaurs living on earth ! He would kill his prey by biting with his fangs and he would tore off the meat with his razor-sharp teeth.
That finished off the Dino Tour today. Was definitely nice, we learnt a lot and well, Noah had fun.
