Carnotaurus
Click here for more Carnotaurus Pictures
Carnotaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived in South America
(its fossils have
been found in Patagonia, Argentina)
during the late Cretaceous period,
about 70 million years ago.
Carnotaurus was about 30 feet (9 meters) long, and stood about 10 feet (3 meters) tall at
the hips. It weighed around 2 tons.
The most noteworthy feature of Carnotaurus are the thick horns above the eyes, it is from
these it gets its name, which means "flesh bull" (it is a meat-eater, and the horns
are said to resemble those of a bull).
Carnotaurus also had a number of other unusual and interesting features:
- It had a robust (but small) skull, but a slender low jaw bone.
- Its eyes, unusually for a dinosaur, faced forward. Scientists think that this
may mean it had binocular vision and depth perception.
- It had a relatively long neck as compared to other
Theropod dinosaurs.
- It had extremely reduced front limbs, each of which ended in a four-fingered hand.
Although only one near-complete skeleton of Carnotaurus has been so far (at the time of writing this article),
this skeleton was accompanied by
fossilized skin impressions. From these,
we know that Carnotaurus did not have feathers (unlike some other advanced
Theropod dinosaurs), but the
animals skin was lined with rows of bumps, the bumps growing larger nearer the animal's spine. It is not
entirely clear what the purpose of these bumps would have been.
Carnotaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived about 70 million years ago

Extracto: Majungasaurus ("Mahajanga" + gr. "lagarto" = "Lagarto de Mahajanga") es un género de dinosaurios terópodos abelisáuridos que existieron a finales del período Cretácico, hace aproximadamente 80 millones de años, en el Campaniano, en lo que hoy es Madagascar. Solo una especie, M. crenatissimus, ha sido asignada. A este género solía llamárselo Majungatholus, nombre que ahora se considera sinónimo de Majungasaurus. Al igual que otros abelisáuridos, el Majungasaurus era un depredador bípedo provisto de un hocico corto. Aunque los brazos no disponen de mucha evidencia, se reconoce que estos eran muy pequeños, mientras las patas eran largas y robustas. Por otro lado, se diferencia de los demás abelisáuridos al contar con un cráneo más ancho, dotado de una textura muy áspera y endurecida en el tope del hocico, más un cuerno redondeado arriba del cráneo, el cual fue originalmente confundido con el domo de un paquicefalosauriano. También poseía más dientes en ambas mandíbulas que la mayoría de abelisáuridos. Tras ser conocido por numerosos cráneos y esqueletos bien preservados, el Majungasaurus ha llegado a ser uno de los dinosaurios terópodos más estudiados del Hemisferio Sur. Aparentement... |

Click Here | - Dinosaurs children 's book
Product Description:
The bestselling, award-winning team of Yolen and Teague are back with another playful dinosaur tale--this time about a sick dinosaur child who catches the flu and must go to the doctor.
What if a dinosaur catches the flu?
Does he whimper and whine between each "At-choo"?
Does he drop dirty tissues all over the floor?
Does he fling his medicine out of the door?
Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best.
As in their previous book, Yolen and Teague capture children's fears about being sick and put them to rest with playful read-aloud verse and wonderfully amusing pictures. |
