Another day another dinosaur… the Ouranosaurus was a sail backed, plant eating dinosaur from the Cretaceous period. Found in Africa, it had an impressive silhouette that meant the sail probably helped regulate temperature (although a site does place this dinosaur in China). It’s name means “brave lizard” and it potentially walked on two and 4 feet.
Now for our videos… Ouranosaurus Nugeriensis, a documentary style video.
And the second, a Planet Dinosaur video…
And now the links…
We are always excited to find another Alberta dinosaur. This smaller Tyrannosaur was quite the carnivore and while not as large at the T Rex it was quite formidable in the face of the smaller herbivores. The Gorgosaurus was found in the Cretaceous period and had the same large head, sharp teeth, powerful back legs and shortened front arms with claws.
Our video is once again from I’m A Dinosaur. We are coming to the end of their 49 episode series!!
And now for the LIST of links… sorry on the lazy… but please enjoy the fruits of our searching!
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.
