Hypsilophodon

I am jumping line for this one… our book Dinosaur Hunt by Karen Carr mentioned this dinosaur as ALSO being found in Texas and as we are currently learning about Texas… well we reintroduced this herbivore so enjoy our jump forward!

Emanuel has requested NO MORE Cretaceous period dinosaurs… but today was not the day for that… The Hypsilophodon has a horny beak with cheek teeth and ran on two legs. It was a fast dinosaur that sustained itself with plants and was found in the woodlands of Europe. At first it was believed that it was found up in the trees but this has since been disproved. We had TWO videos… first a “Spore” video by Cainori.

Our second video is a gorgeous speed painting piece by Michele the Sea
