Saber Tooth Tiger


The Saber Tooth Tiger had two very long teeth sticking out from either side of it's moth. It had yellow fur and lived in the ice age with the woolly mammoths. It was a carnivore and again was not a dinosaur. It was very much like raptors because it jumped on it's prey. The claws were only used to move the corpse over.

G. Wucaii


The G. Wucaii is a new fossilised dinosaur. It is the oldest T-Rex in the family. It was 3ms long. A spectacular crest on the top of its Head that was probably brightly coloured. the new type was found in the Junggar basin, a place rich in Dino fossils in the north-west corner of china.

Woolly Mammoth



The Woolly Mammoth was a huge prehistoric creature. Although it wasn't a dinosaur, it was a fascinating creature. It was basically an elephant in lots and lots of fur. But it had a lot of differences as well: its teeth were different, it had a very long curly trunk. If you watch Prehistoric Park you can see one in episode 2. Its' name was Mather the Mammoth (I think).

Albertosaurus


Albertosaurus was part of the Tyrannosaur family. It ate meat and could not run that fast. It had to be patient and wait for a slow moving prey to walk by. The creature had thick sharp teeth that would tear away anything ( expet metal and other types of metal ).

Ankylosaurus


Ankylosaurus was a thick boned herbivore that had spickes on it the fleshy bit was on the bottom. It sat down and tyrannosaurus could not kill it. It could not run very fast because of it's weight. The creature lived near ground level and could not stand on two legs.

T-rex


T-Rex stands for Tyrannosaurus Rex. It means it was king of the dinosaurs. This creature had tiny arms that couldn't even reach it's mouth. So they had no use. T-Rex used it's large teeth to dig into it's preys flesh. It chased it's prey short distances and would knock it over if possible. T-Rex lived in the Cretaceous period.

Diplodocous


Diplodocous comes from a family of the sauropods. They have enormous bodies and very long tail. These magnificent dinosaurs lived to the end of the Jurassic period. Their tails were used to keep them balanced and to make attracting sounds. They were also used for scaring away predators like Allosaurus the king of the Jurassic.
