Pinacosaurus

We do enjoy our unique looking herbivores and Pinacosaurus is another of these. With its unusual head, armoured body and clubbed tail, this Cretaceous period dinosaur was found in one of our favourite countries… China. It is believed that is must have been a desert animal as most of the fossils have been found in sand dunes. In fact, quite a few herd type deposits have been found.

Now the I’m a Dinosaur video.

Now for our links… in point form… enjoy…

Nothronychus

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to a certain amount of laziness even when faced with my beloved blog… thus a couple of the pages on here are rather out of date!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!!

Stegosaurus

I was so shocked and embarrassed to see that we had not yet covered the very popular and familiar Stegosaurus! This herbivore has quite the memorable visual with its large plates and barbs on its tail… and the beak mouth without any teeth. Found in the Jurassic Period with an unusually small brain the actual reason behind the plates along its back has been long discussed (And is talked about in an episode of Dino Dan. There are actually multiple episodes that deal with this dinosaur on the Canadian/American show).

We had two videos. The I’m a Dinosaur video and then a series from the Discovery channel that you can view HERE.

There are plenty of links regarding this very popular dinosaur but here are the ones we used, let’s go with a list…
