1-1
Compsognathus
This tiny dinosaur is quite popular due particularly to its size and fame from a certain movie franchise. Compsognathus was not a helpless animal however. It was nimble and had great senses to catch the smaller lizards and bugs where it lived. Surprisingly, it was one of the biggest animals in its ecosystem and had few enemies once fully grown!
1-2
Rhamphorynchus
This pterosaur lived at the same time and place as Compsognathus and probably fought over the bugs and lizards scurrying about. Rhamphorynchus has an interestingly shaped mouth with jagged looking teeth which helped catch slippery prey. Unlike many of the more popular pterosaurs, this one had a stiff and long tail.
1-3
Gastonia
Gastonia was built for defense and certainly needed it when facing off against a pack of Utahraptor. This nodosaur was not huge and only got to about 5 meters long. It lacked the clubbed tail of ankylosaurs but had notable sharp armor lining the front shoulders of the animal. Its armor made attacks difficult unless the Gastonia was flipped over.
1-4
Dinocephalosaurus
While this aquatic animal may look like a plesiosaur, it roamed the triassic waters of China long before them. This bizarre looking protorosaur used its odd proportions to push fish into easily accessible feeding locations. Dinocephalosaurus was thought to only live in water while others could travel onto land.
1-5
Utahraptor
Utahraptor was a large dromaeosaur that lived in Utah, United States, during the Early Cretaceous period. This animal ranged from 6-7 meters long and had a large claw that it kept raised off the ground for dismembering targets. It lived with other dinosaurs such as Iguanacolossus and Gastonia.
1-6
Ceratosaurus
Ceratosaurus was a mid sized carnivore from Late Jurassic Colorado, United States. Its build allowed it to move swiftly and attack from all angles making it a top predator of its time. The distinct ridges on its head made for great display and could even be used to cause injury to other dinosaurs, if it really needed to. Though a powerful animal, Ceratosaurus was usually outmatched by the bigger Allosaurus.
1-7
Iguanacolossus
Iguanacolossus was a bigger-than-average sized iguanadont that lived in Utah, United States, during the Early Cretaceous period. This animal ranged from 9-10 meters long and possessed a notable thumb-spike for defense and foraging. It lived with other dinosaurs such as Utahraptor and Gastonia.
1-8
Triceratops
Triceratops was a large sized ceratopsian that lived in Montana, United States, during the Late Cretaceous period. This animal ranged from 8-9 meters long and possessed a huge frill and massive horns for display and protection from the biggest of predators -- including the famous Tyrannosaurus. It is thought to be one of the biggest ceratopsians.
1-9
Stegosaurus
Stegosaurus was the largest of the stegosaurs and boasted a huge display of colorful plates that ran down its back. Different from the others of its kind, Stegosaurus plates were spaced between one another instead of mirrored on each side. It was a large herbivore from the Late Jurassic and could get up to 9 meters in length. The large spikes (called a thagomizer) helped defend itself from large carnivores such as Ceratosaurus and Allosaurus.
1-10
Tyrannosaurus
No introductions are needed for the king of the dinosaurs! Tyrannosaurus has been called the ultimate apex predator for a while now but even new findings hold up this claim against all kinds of other monstrous theropods. This beast was 13 meters long (with some being even larger!) and had a huge head filled with gigantic teeth to rip large chunks of flesh. Its keen senses made up for the tiny arms to the point it didn't really need them.
