5/35

I am a dinosaur

looking for my breakfast.

I can see you,

wherever you are.

4

A deadly dinosaurTroodon was a quick

and clever hunter.It had large eyes for spottingprey, even in dim light.



6/35

Troodon

(TROE-uh-don)



7/35

I am a dinosaur

ready for my lunch.

Herrerasaurus(her-RARE-uh-SORE-us)

8/35

I can catch you,

even if you run.

A speedy sprinterHerrerasaurus ran fast

on its two back legs.It hunted small reptiles,such as lizards.



9/35

I am a dinosaur,

hungry for my dinner.And I am bigger than you are.

A huge hunterTyrannosauruswas one of

the biggest meat-eatingdinosaurs ever. It was as tallas a two-story building.



10/35

Tyrannosaurus(tie-RAN-uh-SORE-us)



11/35

We all have

sharp teeth and claws.We are meat eaters.

We eat other dinosaurs.

Tyrannosaurus



12/35

Herrerasaurus

Hungry for meatMeat-eating dinosaurs ate

fish, insects, small mammals,reptiles, and other dinosaurs.They are called carnivores.



13/35

Eat or be eaten?

That is the dinosaur question.

I can run fast enough to get away

from the big meat eaters.

I can also run fast enough

to catch small animals.

Gallimimus(gal-lee-MEEM-us)



14/35

A mixed diet

Gallimimussnapped up leavesand small animals in its beak.

It is called an omnivorebecause it ate bothplants and meat.

I like to eat lizards

and other animals.

I catch themin my strong claws

and my long beak.

But I eat plants, too.

I am not a picky eater.



15/35

I am a dinosaur

who eats nothing but plants.I stay close to my babies

to protect them from meat eaters.

14

Maiasaura(MY-uh-SORE-uh)



16/35

Eggs in a nest

Dinosaurs laid eggsin nests on the ground.Their babies hatched outof the eggs, just likebaby birds and crocodiles.

15

I made their nestfrom a mound of earth.

I bring leaves and berries

for them to eat.



17/35

Dinosaurs that dont eat meat

need protection from those that do.Our spikes are long and sharp.

If meat eaters come too close,

we take them on head first.



18/35

Dinos and rhinos

Styracosaurushada long horn on its nose.It used the hornfor protection,like the rhinoceros does today.

17

Styracosaurus(sty-RAK-uh-SORE-us)



19/35

Sharp teeth cannot dent

my body armor.And watch out for the spikes

on my shoulders.

One bump from me andits the end.

Edmontonia

(ed-mon-TONE-ee-uh)



20/35



21/35

My skin is as hard as a rock.

My body is coveredin studs, spikes, and horns.

I swing the clubon the end of my tail.

It can break the legs

of the bigger dinosaurs.

20

Euoplocephalus(you-op-loe-SEF-uh-lus)



22/35

Bone-breaking bones

A tail club could growas wide as an armchair.It was a powerful weaponagainst meat eaters.

21

I am not very big,but I am dangerous.



23/35

We are small but fast.

We eat plants thatgrow close to the ground.



24/35

We live in a herd.

If one of us spots a meat eater,we all zoom off

on our strong back legs.

23

Hypsilophodon(hip-si-LOAF-uh-don)



25/35

We dont need special weapons.

If we smell danger,we raise the alarm.

We use our head crests like trumpets

to make loud hooting calls.



26/35

Fancy heads

Other dinosaurs hadcrests on their heads, too.Often the males had biggercrests than the females.

Corythosaurus(koe-rith-uh-SORE-us)

Parasaurolophus

(par-uh-sore-oh-LOAF-us)



27/35

I look frightening

because I am so big.

I need to eat

huge amounts of leavesto keep myself going.

I use my long neck

to reach the leavesat the tops of trees.



28/35

I can see danger comingfrom any direction.

I am much taller

than any of the meat eaters.

Barosaurus(bar-uh-SORE-us)



29/35

We are all dinosaurs that eat plants.

We all have some wayof protecting ourselves

from meat eaters.

Barosaurus

Styracosaurus

Euoplocephalus



30/35

Plant lovers

Animals that eat nothing butplants are called herbivores.Most of the dinosaurswere herbivores.

Hypsilophodon

Edmontonia

Corythosaurus Maiasaura



31/35

What do we eat for dinner?
