Scutellosaurus

Sometimes I wonder at  the names of these dinosaurs, but they do make Emanuel giggle as we both try and wrap our mouths around them. This herbivore is a bit on the small side, but is a little unique in so far as it seems to have walked on both two and four feet. The Scutellosaurus really is an unusual looking herbivore.

We had a couple videos to watch to Emanuel’s joy! First, of course, is I’m a Dinosaur.

And secondly, a cute kid made video using dinosaur figurines.

There were a few links of interest on this versatile plant eater from the late Triassic period. Of course Kidsdinos.com had a page with their charts and graphs HERE. Encyclopedia Britannica has a rather technical article about the dinosaur HERE. Dinosaurs.about.com has a short piece HERE. Animal Planet has an article HERE. What I find interesting is how some of these articles have the period of this dinosaur slightly different, though the majority seem to say Triassic. EnchantedLearning has a fact sheet HERE and has our dinosaur listed as early Jurassic. You can check out the AgeofDinosaurs.com page HERE. Of course Wiki has an article about this early armoured dinosaur HERE. Our colouring page came right off of deviantArt HERE. Thank you zakafreakarama
