Monolophosaurus
“Let me introduce you to Monolophosaurus. This is a no-frills predator straight from the Jurassic.

But don’t be fooled; this is one minacious hunter!” – Isaac Clement Monolophosaurus was a medium sized theropod from the Middle […]
Gallimimus
“Some of these animals present a real test of our abilities. Take, for instance, this latest dinosaur, the Gallimimus.
