Barney proves that no matter how bad your reputation is or how barbaric your ancestors were you can still be good. The irony doesn’t even stop there though because Baby Bop, Barney’s favorite friend, is a Triceratops. And yes, you guessed it, The T-Rex would typically make the Triceratops into lunch. Barney shatters stereotypes and he always makes everyone feel special.

Dinosaurs died because asteroid crashed and the dinosaurs can't survive in the changing climate.

On average, a full grown T-Rex weighed between 7-8 tons. However, many weighed less and some even weighed more. The largest, and most complete skeleton of a T-Rex to date has been nicknamed “Sue”. Sue is estimated to have weighed about 9 tons (18,000 pounds). The T-Rex had strong thighs and a power tail to counterbalance its large head. This allowed them to move quickly while keeping their balance. They used their large head (and large jaws) for hunting. It is unknown what their tiny front legs were used for but it is not believed that they were any use while hunting. Many scientists believe that the T-Rex’s arms grew shorter as part of evolution as their head size grew. This kept them balanced. Otherwise, with long front arms, the dinosaur would have had a hard time remaining upright.

The triceratops was a dinosaur that could be identified fairly easily due to the animal’s horn on top of its head. This horn was used to protect itself from other animals and it could also be used to attack other animals if this dinosaur felt threatened. However, the horn was most likely not used to attack for no reason. This is because the triceratops was an herbivore. This means that it only eats plants. Since dinosaurs died out and became completely extinct before the first human being was born, we only know things based on scientists’ findings and conclusions. Today, the rhinoceros has a horn on top of its snout and it somewhat resembles the triceratops. The biggest difference between the triceratops and the rhino are probably their sizes.

A piscivorous dinosaur is a dinosaur that eats only fish. All piscivorous dinosaurs have one large claw on each hand that is used to help them hunt. They also have straight, sharp teeth to catch slippery fish out of the water. All piscivorous dinosaurs hunt in the same way. They either stand above the moving water (river, stream, etc) and use their long talon to hook the fish out of the water or they dip their faces in the water and snatch the fish out of the water. Piscivorous dinosaurs fall into the carnivore family of dinosaurs because fish are a living animal. They have sharp teeth, similar to carnivorous dinosaurs. Carnivorous dinosaurs, however, do not eat only one type of meat, but eat a variety.

Terrible lizard is the answer to the question thought they said it wrong

The Gigantosaurus is a little known dinosaur originating from the late Jurassic period. This dinosaur was found in England. The Gigantosaurus has a few interesting things about it. First of all it may not exist at all. This assumption is due to the fact that it was discovered and announced by a group of teenagers. It never actually was announced by any scientist. However, if it is in fact real the Gigantosaurus is one of the largest dinosaurs to ever be discovered. Its mass would have totaled a whopping 18,000 pounds and its length 39 to 46 feet. If this dinosaur did in fact exist it would have eaten meat often in the form of the dead remains of animals.

The Triceratops was a massive dinosaur with three large horns that lived 66 million years ago. Despite its size and appearance, the Triceratops was an herbivore meaning that it only ate plant material. Its mouth was shaped like a beak and was built for grinding up plant matter instead of the sharp powerful teeth and jaws, meant for ripping flesh apart that belonged to the carnivorous dinosaurs. The Triceratops could have up to 800 teeth in its mouth that were stacked in columns. Any given Triceratops might have 36 to 40 of these columns of teeth. The number and placement of teeth suggest that this dinosaur ate large volumes of fibrous plants like ferns and palms. These types of plants grew in Prairies at the time.

The answer to this question is A. Whenever people would discuss this dinosaur, they usually say that it has to be one of the smallest dinosaurs ever. It only weight 1 kg which says a lot about its size. This is said to have appeared during the late Triassic period. Clues that this existed can be seen in Scotland. This has lived more than 200 million years ago but those who have always been interested in this dinosaur and all the other dinosaurs that existed way back. This type of dinosaur is a carnivore which means that its diet is composed of meat. They have come to this conclusion based on its teeth.

Tyrannosaurus Rex’s name means “tyrant lizard” in Greek and Rex means “king” in Latin. This is a very apt name for the dinosaur that many people truly think of as the king of the dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was huge, powerful, and devoured its prey in gigantic bites with gigantic deadly teeth. The T-Rex was a large carnivorous dinosaur that walked on two legs and pretty much had its pick of prey. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America around 65 million years ago. T-Rex was a whopping 40 feet long and 15 tons in weight and estimated to have exerted the largest bite force of any terrestrial animal ever to live. T-Rex lived up to its name fully lording over all dinosaurs with its massive proportions, strength, and prey drive.

The answer to this question is A. The Brachiosaurus is known to have grown up to 100 feet long. This is so big that it was considered to be an unusual dinosaur. Based on the structure of the dinosaur’s head and jaw, researchers conclude that this ate plants and other vegetation. It probably fed on a lot of trees as it is well within its reach. This dinosaur looks a bit unusual because of its very long neck. It also has forelegs that are longer than its hind legs. It seems that this dinosaur along with other huge dinosaurs has very high body temperatures although of course, no one will know for sure.

Some dinosaurs lived on a diet consisting solely of plant matter, these dinosaurs would be referred to as herbivores. Others lived on a diet of meat and are referred to as carnivores. Others still ate both meat and plants much like many of us do as humans and just as us humans are classically referred to as omnivores, so were dinosaurs that ate meat and plants. Some examples of these dinosaurs that ate both plants and meat are the Troodon, the Gallimimus, the Ornithomimus, and the Eoraptor. Many dinosaurs were plant eaters as plants were in a great supply. The food chain narrowed down to the fewest dinosaurs being Carnivores as they ate meat including other dinosaurs which was sensibly not in as great a supply as plants. Omnivores fell in the middle of the food chain enjoying both plants and meat and therefore finding the greatest chance of survival and adaptability.
