Mussaurus
“It is small as a mouse!”—DR. Kajal Dua Mussaurus was a dinosaur lived in the Triassic Period, making it one of the earliest dinosaurs, and is believed to belong to the family of dinosaurs from which the huge sauropods eventually evolved. Mussaurus was unlike its huge descendants, however, as it was a small, fast plant-eater. […]
Minmi
“Minmi is a relatively small, armored herbivore from Cretaceous Australia. What sets this species apart from other members of its family are the horizontally orientated plates that run along the sides of its backbone – hence the binomial name, Minmi paravertebra.”—DR. Kajal Dua Minmi was a small member of the family of plant-eating armored dinosaurs […]
Gallimimus
“Some of these animals present a real test of our abilities. Take, for instance, this latest dinosaur, the Gallimimus. It’s an opportunistic omnivore that does best in groups – that alone isn’t the problem. But the speed… Gallimimus is incredibly fast, which presents special challenges for the ranger teams tasked with monitoring them.”– Tim Murphy […]

Brachiosaurus
“Okay, what we have here is a Brachiosaurus. It has long limbs relative to the rest of its body, and what makes it really unique is that it’s a warm-blooded dinosaur. I mean, how amazing is it that in bringing these dinosaurs back, we’re also learning so much about them.” – Isaac Clement Brachiosaurus is […]
Ankylosaurus
“The Ankylosaurus. This is a herbivorous quadruped. Late Cretaceous. This is one of the largest armored dinosaurs. Known by paleontologists as a living tank.” – Gunnar Eversoll Ankylosaurus was built like a living tank, with extremely thick, bony plates of armor on its body, even including armored eyelids. Its tail also had a second function; […]
Amargasaurus
“Well, what have we here? It’s an Amargasaurus, according to the paperwork I have in front of me. Another interesting factoid: its long neck meant it probably liked to feed on the taller branches of trees and such, at least that’s what it said. Guess we’ll find out, huh?”– Cabot Finch Amargasaurus is an extinct […]
