Dino-Might

Dinosaurs were creatures that lived a long time ago. About 80- 250 million years ago there were many different types of dinosaurs. Some were fast, some were slow. Some were smart, some were not. Some were GIANTS!!! and some were small.

There was a dinosaur named the Velociraptor (speedy-thief). It was a very fast and intelligent dinosaur. They most likely traveled in packs and also might have been able to jump. It had three fingered clawed hands and had thin legs and four-toed clawed feet. It also had a long stiff tail to help keep it balanced.

If dinosaurs were alive today, they would probably try to eat every one. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the most fierce dinosaurs in the world. It had meat eating teeth that were about the size of your wrist down to you elbow. It lived in the late Cretaceous period (85-65 million years ago) just like the Velociraptor. It had strong jaw muscles. It's jaw was about 4 feet long and it might have had 50-60 bone crunching teeth.

Many dinosaurs were deadly predators, but some were probably gentle. I think that if dinosaurs were still alive, I would recommend that you stay away from them!
