Age of Dinosaurs has a great map etc HERE. I love the image on the Wikia Cool Dino Facts page HERE. Science Kids has a short write up HERE. Dinosaur.about.com has a nice discussion about the movement of the continents HERE. And another link HERE. Dinosaurking has a nice size chart of our dinosaur vs. humans HERE. EnchantedLearning has their fact page HERE. And Wiki has a great article HERE. Our print out is actually on the Dinosaur of the Week page! Be sure to scroll down!
