horned carnivore

Ceratosaurus, means "Horned lizard" is a medium size theropod dinosaur that lived in North America during Jurassic period.What makes it different and distinctive is the large horn on top of its nose and the two horns over its eyes. The use of it has been debated and is most likely used for display, a weapon, or a special used for courtship battles. About 100 years ago, when it was first discovered, it was one of the most well-known dinosaurs. Another unusual feature is that Ceratosaurus had four fingers on its hands, instead of the more common three among the other large meat-eaters.

First bird

Archaeopteryx, means "Ancient wing" is a prehistoric bird that lived in Europe during Jurassic period.Archaeopteryx is considered by many to be the link between dinosaurs and birds. It had teeth and claws, but it also had feathers and wings. Archaeopteryx was first discovered in 1860 in Bavarian lithographic limestone quarries. Since that time, only five other specimens have been uncovered, with the best specimens being at the Humboldt Museum in Berlin and the British Museum.One of the Archaeopteryx fossil is stolen more than 20 years ago and from now, the stolen fossil never be found again.

Mammoth

Woolly Mammoth,means "Earth burrowing" is a prehistoric elephant that lived during Ice age in North America.Mammoths are the largest land animals after the dinosaurs disappeared. Mammoths seemed to flourish in the ice age and were well adapted to the cold. They had long, shaggy fur coats and layers of fat to insulate them. They were plant eaters who became extinct less than 10,000 years ago. In fact, mammoths are found in near pristine condition in the far north frozen in the ice.The famous discovery of mammoth is that scientist found a frozen baby mammoth in some cold countries like Russia.Mammoth often hunt by human for food and clothes using traps and throwing spear.

Darwin's pterosaur

Darwinopterus, means "Darwin's wing" is a genus of pterosaur that lived in China during Jurassic period. Darwinopterus got it's name after the famous biologist, Charles Darwin and it displays features of both the basal rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs,‭ ‬and the later more advanced pterodactyloid pterosaurs.Male darwinopterus has bigger crest while female has short crest.

Hogwarts dinosaur

Dracorex, means "Dragon king" is a pachycephalosaurid that lived in USA during cretaceous period.Dracorex got it's name from Harry Potter Franchise's Hogwarts Academy. Much like Stygimoloch, Dracorex had large, protruding spikes on the back of its head, with two large horns of three behind the head. It had bumps and a long muzzle, with spikes on its nasal area.

Saber toothed tiger

Smilodon or the saber toothed cat is a prehistoric wild cat that lived in Patagonia during Pleistocene and Holocene.It's still a mystery what those fangs are used,but as we know that the smilodon probably hunt in packs and attack large herbivores.

Permian carnivore

Dimetrodon, means "Two-measured tooth" is a pelycosaur that lived in North America during Permian period.Dimetrodon used it's big sail too warm up in the morning and cool off more efficiently during the heat of the day.Dimetrodon is able to  warm up faster to catch it's slow moving prey and make it a dorminant land predator

Unicorn of the cretaceous

Tsintaosaurus, means "Qingdao Lizard" is a hadrosaur that lived in China during cretaceous Period.Tsintaosaurus had a characteristic 'duck bill' snout and a battery of powerful teeth which it used to chew vegetation. Tsintaosaurus, like most hadrosaurs, probably traveled in herds and was semi-quadrupedal and bipedal, meaning it can walk and run on two legs and four legs under certain times.Tsintaosaurus sported a crest on its head. It was originally believed to point forward from its forehead, giving it the nickname "Unicorn of the Cretaceous".

Terrible hands

Deinocheirus, means "Terrible hands" is a large ornithomimid that lived in china during cretaceous period.Its name originates from the first fossils of the animal discovered, which were its large arms.It's a omnivore.

Spanish dinosaur

Concavenator,means "Hump Backed Hunter from Cuenca" is a theropod that lived in Spain during cretaceous period. It was named after its distinguishing hump on its back, which was located in front of the hips. The shape was two hills, the front being taller and more visible than the one on the back, which is barely noticeable, with a U-shape in the middle, although looks less like a U-shape due to the small second hump behind the tall, frontal one. There is some speculation that it could be a thermal regulator. Another interesting fact is that it apparently sported quill knobs on the arms, very much like dromaeosaurs and modern day birds, thus leading to the possibility that it had feathers, although not completely covering the body, as it is likely it also had some scales.
