Dinosaur of the week: Edmontosaurus

Edmontosaurus is an Ornithopoda dinosaur. that lived during the Cretaceous period. Edmontosaurus was named in 1917. The largest Edmontosaurus clocked in at 12 meters long. Edmontosaurus`s name means "Edmonton Lizard." Unlike other hadrosaurs, Edmontosaurus did not have a bony crest. Edmontosaurus may have had a loose piece of skin over its skin that Edmontosaurus could blow it up like a balloon.

A new dinosaur discovered! Toastersaurus

The toastersaurus is a brand new dinosaur that was first discovered in Canada. It is a sauropod with an incredibly short neck. It is 15 feet long and 8 feet in height. The toastersaurus didn`t eat plants like most sauropod rather it ate toasted bread. They were unusually fast reaching 25 miles per hour. This new dinosaur is very interesting, also happy April fools!

Ultimate Dinosaurs at The Cleveland Natural History Review

Ultimate Dinosaurs at The Cleveland Natural History Review

I have already reviewed the Cleveland natural history museum. But they have a hall were they put temporary exhibits on. And until April they have an exhibit called Ultimate Dinosaurs. The exhibit forces on dinosaurs from the Southern Hemisphere and it one of the best exhibits I have ever seen.

The Small Stuff

In this exhibit, you get a lot more small and unknown dinosaurs than a usual exhibit. Dinosaurs like Buitreraptor, Herrerasaurus, and Masiakasaurus. All of these small dinosaurs really make it come together.

The Larger Stuff

Other than the small dinosaurs they also give you dinosaurs like Carnotaurus and Ouranosaurus. These dinosaurs really help give the exhibit stand out, because of how unique they are and Also they had one of my favorite sauropods, Amargasaurus!

Giganotosaurus

At the end of the exhibit there lied a Giganotosaurus. One of the biggest carnivore ever! It was awesome seeing this dinosaur at the end of the hall. There are no words for how awesome this was!

Ending

This was an amazing exhibit. Go and see it while you can! Go support the museum that made this exhibit! There awesome

Rating 10/10

Dinosaur of the Week: Centrosaurus

Dinosaur of the Week: Centrosaurus

Centrosaurus is a Ceratopsidae dinosaur, which name means pointed lizard. Its most notable feature is its one huge horn. It was 6 meters long. Two little horns doop down from the top of the frill. Centrosaurus most likely lived in herds. Centrosaurus weighed about as much as an Asian elephant.

(Hey, Sorry for taking most of January off. I just needed some time off. Anyways have a good day!)

Dinosaur of the Week: Utahraptor

Dinosaur of the Week: Utahraptor

Utahraptor is one of the largest dromaeosaur ever discovered. Utahraptor is 7 meters long. Utahraptor`s claw was 24 centimeters long. Utahraptor would have had feathers if it was still living. Utahraptor probably ate hadrosaurs or small sauropods. 

Dinosaur of the Week: Oviraptor

Dinosaur of the Week: Oviraptor

Oviraptor is an Oviraptoridae dinosaur. It was about 2 meters long. When it was discovered there were eggs right next to it. The people who discovered it thought the eggs belonged to Protoceratops because there were a lot of protoceratops skeletons found around the area. Later, in 1993 a study was done that showed that the eggs where actually Oviraptor`s. So its name became a lie. Though now we have no idea on what it ate. 

Merry Christmas!
