Brontosaurus was discovered after Apatosaurus. At the time it was thought to be a different dinosaur, but it was later found to be an Apatosaurus. However, the name ‘Brontosaurus’ had become so widely-used that many people still think thatthey are different dinosaurs. Some theropod dinosaurs had horns. These include members of the family Abelisauridae, including Ceratosaurus, Carnotaurus and Majungasaurus. Ceratosaurus, a theropod with horns.

While small compared to other dinosaurs, Deinonychus was built for speed, and would have been an effective predator. It had long forelimbs and powerful clawed ‘hands’. The bones of sauropods contained hollow cavities which contained air-sacs. This made the skeletons of these massive animals light enough to move. The air-sacs also helped the dinosaurs to breathe. Examples Of Famous Sauropod Dinosaurs

Ankylosaurians were members of a larger group of dinosaurs called Thyreophora, otherwise known as the ‘shield-bearers’, or ‘armored dinosaurs’. This group also included Stegosaurians such as stegosaurus. Giganotosaurus was around 16 metres (62 ft.)in length and weighed 8 metric tonnes (9 short tons). It was likely to have had good senses of both sight and smell. Also alive at the same time as dinosaurs were various crocodylomorphs (a group of reptiles that includes the ancestors of today’s crocodilians). These reptiles inhabited both freshwater and marine habitats. Some grew very large and would even have preyed on large dinosaurs.

Birds, the only dinosaurs to have survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction Event that took place 66 million years ago, are theropods.Most theropod dinosaurs are bird-like in that they are bipedal (they walk on two legs) and have bird-like hind feet. In addition, many theropods had feathers.

Archaeopteryx lived in the late Jurassic Period. Animals like archaeopteryx (but possibly not archaeopteryx itself) were the ancestors of all today’s birds. Many scientists now consider birds to be dinosaurs! Baryonyx was a bipedal, fish-eating dinosaur that lived in the early Cretaceous Period. Its narrow, tooth-filled snout is thought to have been similar to that of today’s gharial – a fish-eating crocodilian found in Asia. At the time of writing, only two Compsognathus specimens have been discovered. The first was found in Germany in the mid-nineteenth century. The second was found in France over 100 years later, in 1971.

Ankylosaurus was a member of a group of dinosaurs called Ankylosauria. Their name means ‘fused together lizards’ on behalf of their joined-together armoured plates.

This small bipedal dinosaur was just under 1 metre (3 ft.)in length. It was first discovered in the Australian dinosaur hotspot Dinosaur Cove. Confusingly, it is theropod dinosaurs, rather than ornithischians, that eventually evolved into birds. The vertebrae of these dinosaurs were extended into spines, which likely supported a sail made of skin. However, the exact form (and function) of the sail is largely unknown. Some paleontologists suggest the spine-like extensions may have supported a fatty hump rather than a sail. Parasaurolophus was a Late Cretaceous herbivore. It was around 10 metres (33 ft.)in length and weighed around 3.5 metric tonnes (4 short tons).

Unlike the teeth of theropods, those of sauropods met at the tips – probably for biting off clumps of vegetation. Giganotosaurus means ‘giant southern lizard’. This giant predator walked on two legs and was even bigger than Tyrannosaurus. If you're planning a children's birthday party and wondering how to keep kids entertained, don't panic.
