I have to admit to a certain amount of laziness even when faced with my beloved blog… thus a couple of the pages on here are rather out of date! I will remedy that! But I figure I will try point form for the links for a bit! Especially since the Nothronychus (a Cretaceous period herbivore from New Mexico) has quite a few links of interest to share! But first… the videos for this rather unique, possibly FEATHERED sort of hodge podge of a dinosaur. It seems to be caught mid evolving… with the body of a carnivore but the neck, head and diet of a herbivore!!!

First, I’m a Dinosaur… and then the other videos are on the BBC page HERE and How Stuff Works HERE.

And now for our links. This is a rather interesting dinosaur for its look and the potential to show how a dinosaur type could go from meat to plants… what a change!! Almost like a giraffe in looks but with the predator portions that keep it safe as it feeds!!

  Nothronychus

Found in the Triassic period, this early theropod was a dominante predator in Argentine (South America). The Herrerasaurus had short forearms with claws on its fingers. 3 partial fossils have been found and it is not until the 80’s that a skull was recovered. To date this dinosaur is one of the earliest known to roam the earth! Quite the interesting critter.

We have TWO videos… first I’m a Dinosaur…

…and second, a drawing video by Brooks Leibee.

And now for the links… Jurassic park has our dinosaur HERE. The EnchantedLearning fact sheet is HERE. Kidsdinos.com has their charts and map HERE. Of course Dinosaurs.about.com has their usual set up HERE. Animal Planet has an article HERE. UCMP has an article with links to lecture notes HERE. Britannica has an article HERE and of course you can check out Wiki right HERE. Our colouring page is from deviantArt and our favourite dinosaur artist Zakafreakarama. You can find the page HERE and his page HERE.

Ever wonder who came BEFORE the Tyrannosaurus Rex? Well, wonder no longer… The Eotyrannus is early in the tyrannus family. Found on the Isle of Wight it is one of the earliest known and most raptor like in looks. The “Dawn Tyrant” is definitely a swift and fearsome predator.

We have TWO videos to share, the first from I’m a Dinosaur…

And another from the IW Council about a brand new display at the Dinosaur Isle Museum…

Quite the phenomenon at the Isle of Wight. Now for our links… Dinosaurs.about.com covers this carnivore HERE. EnchantedLearning has a fact sheet HERE. Prehistoric Wildlife has a page HERE. Apparently Primeval included this dinosaur in its series HERE. I love the image of the dinosaur on the Dino Directory page HERE. Wiki of course has their article HERE. And our colouring page is from deviantArt by an amazing artist… Zakafreakarama HERE. You can find his main artist page HERE.
