snake), although some say they could have been warm-blooded ( like you and me,
or your dog), others say that they could have been both, the debate is s�ll raging
on. Some DINOSAURS walked on four legs, some used only two. We think that
they might have had fur or hair on their body even feathers for some , and most
had a �ny brain the size of a pea!
Some DINOSAURS were enormous, while others were very small and
tiny. The largest DINOSAUR found so far was 36 m ( 118 ft) long and 20 m (65
ft)tall and weighted about 77 tons - as much as 14 african elephants- and was an
herbivore, ea�ng only plants, yep, he was vegetarian! Its name is
ARGENTINASAURUS, what a name hey!?.. The next one in size would be the
BRACHIOSAURUS as high as a four storey building and weighted about 70 tones,
not talking about the SUPERSAURUS and the ULTRASAURUS who werealso
around 30 m long and possibly as high as a five storey building!
One of the smallest DINOSAURS is a two-legged predator called
MICRORAPTOR just 39 cm long.The smallest DINOSAUR found (so far) is a bird
like creature, as big as a keyring called OCULUDENTAVIS. He was just 1.27cm (0.5
inch)weighting probably around 2.9g (0.1 oz) .
But now let me introduce our guest for this book speaking
exclusively to us about DINOSAURS, from Scotland, Ladies and Gentlemen, the
one and only ; NESSIE!!
