Brachiosaurus

Brachiosaurus, whose name signifies "arm reptile," was the giraffe dinosaur of the Jurassic. With its long neck (very nearly 30 feet in length) and tall front legs, this goliath sauropod could nip new shoots from the highest points of trees in excess of 40 feet over the ground.  in case Brachiosaurus were alive today, it could look into fourth story windows. This is the biggest sauropod known from almost complete skeletons. For some scientistss, this is the boss for size. Gauging 50 tons, probably as much as seven elephants, Brachiosaurus was a gigantic dinosaur that needed to take care of continually. The front legs were taller than the back legs, and the tail was generally short.  Brachiosaurus was weighty toward the front and light in the back. the rib confine was gigantic, but since the legs were so tall, the stomach was so distant the  ground that a stegosaurus could stroll under it. The long neck and front legs look like the body of a giraffe, and it is concei

Maiasaura peeblesorum

Space-travelling dinosaur may seem like science fiction, but one dinosaur actually made it into space in 1985. Astronaut Loren Acton packed bone fragments from a historic Montana dig before boarding space lab 2, making Maiasaura the first dinosaur to orbit the earth. That might have given some paleontologists reason to grin, but what probably excites them more is taking a look back 65-80 million years before the Maiasaura's trip to the stars, when this duck billed plant eater lived among the likes of Tyrannosaurs and velociraptor. 



 The duck-billed Maiasaura were big dinosaur and big eaters. These herbivores had fiber-rich diets that consisted of berries, seeds and up to 20 pounds of leaves a day. However, oddly enough, its sharp, enameled teeth lined its cheeks rather than its beak. Weighing in at about 8,000 pounds, the Maiasaura were part of the Hadrosauridae family, growing to be about 30 feet long and 8 feet tall. It could navigate on either two or four legs, but perhaps had a bit of an uneven stance, as it had a stubby arms with four-fingered hands and hooved back legs. Its strong tail was presumed to be used as a balancing device.

 The Maiasaura specimens found to date have all come from the late cretaceous period's two medicine formation in western Montana. Because fossils have been discovered in groups totaling up to 10,000 Maiasaura are alleged to be herders who needed to travel seasonally I search of food, and then returned annually to breed in their home colonies. There is a reason the Maiasaura have been nicknamed the "good mother lizard". Scientists repeatedly found fossils alongside nests that consisted up to 25 grapefr-sized eggs. It is believed that the Maiasaura moms nurtured the hatchlings until they at least doubled in size longer than many other dinosaurs stayed with their young.

Brachylophosaurus

Brachylophosaurus might Be its authority name, yet many warmly know this moderately "new" dinosaur as "Elvis,"due to its surprising head peak that looks like the well known rock 'n roll vocalist's hair Fossil gatherer and scientist Charles Sternberg first the dinosaur depicted it in 1953.  The strong boned head peak reached out from the nose, laid over the highest point of the dinosaur's level head and afterward wrapped up with a sharp spike at the back.

Troodon formosus

The small dinosaur Troodon formosus was around 6 feet tall and weighed around 10 pounds. Just little animals, like reptiles and early vertebrates, were sufficient to eat. On account of its little size, a hunter with sharp, concentrated teeth would be more Like velociraptor, Troodon moved around on its rear legs just, utilizing its forelegs to hold ask.  Troodon was about the size of a man. Fossil analysts accept that the size of its mind is a lot bigger than that of the remainder of its body, which looks like that of a human. This implies Troodon might have been quite possibly the most wise dinosaurs to have lived. Troodon presumably had great visual perception, which might have permitted it to chase around evening time. Its eyes were additionally close sufficient together on the façade of its head to permit it to have binocular vision, which would have given it the profundity insight should have been a more proficient tracker. Both of Troodon's three-toed back feet brandished a hu

Discovering dinosaur

Dinosaur were a group of reptiles that lived on Earth for over 160 million years. Analysts believe it was extinct 65 million years ago Everything that we know about dinosaurs has been learned from fossils. If scientists discover a new kind of dinosaur. they study its bones to work out the shape of its body and how it walked and ran. and what other kinds of dinosaur it is related to The discovery of some dinosaur fossils during the ongoing research suggests that certain types of dinosaurs lived in flocks and other fossils, such as leaves and insects or shells that Tell us about the climate at that time and the plants that lived in that environment.  Dinosaur teeth often survive, and can tell us whether the animal ate flesh or plant food. A few dinosaurs eggs have been found, and these suggest that some kinds of dinosaurs, like most reptiles alive today, did not look after their young. All these things help us to understand the dinosaurs, but there are many things that we do not yet know
