Styracosaurus

Another waaaaay back when resource post. Hopefully all live links and helpful to someone! Emanuel has been such a helpful push to make me research some very interesting creatures:

Back to the dinosaurs… this time a rather interesting herbivore called the Styracosaurus. Walking on 4 legs, this dinosaur had a series of spiked along its frill. It also had two spikes above its eyes. Hatched from an egg, this Cretaceous period dinosaur is believed to have roamed in herds. The Styracosaurus was found in North America and probably reacted to predators much like the current rhino. Not the smartest or the largest it definitely has an impressive skull and frill!

Now for our brief video… sadly my German is too rusty to make heads or tails of the facts they are sharing. But it is an interesting 3D rendition of our herbivore.

And now for our link list:

Elaphrosaurus

A lightweight lizard from the Jurassic period, the Elaphrosaurus was found in Africa. This carnivore ran on two legs and is a bit of an unknown. Fleet of food but so much lighter than other carnivores it would have been reliant on speed over power to catch and eat its prey. Once again this is a dinosaur picked from the I’m a Dinosaur list…

We found an interesting paleontologist named Dinosaur George who has a question and answer series of videos about various dinosaurs. This is the episode with a question about our dinosaur. Emanuel definitely wants to check out his site to see if he has more items of interest.

Now I do not have many links about this dinosaur but here goes… Let’s start with the fact sheet on EnchantedLearning HERE. The Natural History Museum has a rather interesting drawing with some great charts on its site HERE. Prehistoric Wildlife has a helpful article HERE. There are a couple sentences at the Jurassic Park Wiki HERE. AgeofDinosaurs.com has a page HERE, though I noticed its map seemed wrong… Our colouring page can be found HERE and of course Wiki has their page HERE. Hopefully this helps our dinosaur fanatics out there.

We do enjoy our rainbows
