The “Oak Tree Lizard” is called so due to the fact that its teeth look like oak leaves. The Dryosaurus is a Cretaceous period dinosaur found in North American and Tanzania. This herbivore was one of the first bird footed dinosaurs to evolve. With its beak, back teeth and 5 fingered front legs it was quite the dinosaur! Now for our I’m a Dinosaur video:

There are a few links to share with this dinosaur. Let’s start with our deviantArt artist Zakafreakarma who created the colouring page we used for Emanuel. You can find it HERE. EnchantedLearning has a fact sheet HERE. Dinosaurs.about.com has a brief page HERE. Jurassic Park has a little picture of our herbivore HERE. Animal Planet discusses our dinosaur HERE. National Park Service has a great picture of the skeleton of our dinosaur HERE. KidsDinos.com has charts and map HERE. And of course, Wiki has their article HERE.

With Zander

The name of this dinosaur totally screams super here to me! The Ultrasaurua really lives (er dies?? fossilizes???) up to its name with its ultra long neck and large body. This herbivore was MASSIVE. 5 or 6 stories tall this dinosaur found in North American and South Korea (sites differ on that one) dwarfed everyone and everything. It is believed that it would have had to eat constantly and once fully grown would have had no predators. From the Jurassic period it really was a true giant!

Now for our videos. We had TWO… I’m a Dinosaur of course and the other a fun dinosaur themed song!

And now for our links… Let’s start with Kidsdinos.com who states this is a North American dinosaur but has a great illustration and some solid information HERE. CoolDinoFacts is just a sentence and a picture, but Emanuel loved the picture HERE. Animal Planet has a lengthy article HERE. The Jurassic Park site states that this dinosaur is native to South Korea HERE. There is actually another brief video on Curiosity.com from Discovery Channel dealing with the predator issue HERE. EnchantedLearning has a great page HERE about our dinosaur. Wiki has its article HERE and our colouring page comes from this site HERE.

Ultrasaurus

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
