What’s Your Favorite Dinosaur?

* I like brontosaurs because they looked cute, were plant-eaters and were really cool.

* My favorite dinosaur is parasaurolophus, which lived over 60 million years ago. It had a tall crest that was up to 6 feet long on its head. It is known as the “trombone duckbill” because its long hollow crest could make a range of trumpet sounds.

* My favorite is the dsungaripterus. It ate insects and small fish. Its wings were 10 feet wide, two times the size of my mom. It had narrow and long jaws and sharp teeth. It looked like a giant pelican and the top of its head looked like an ax.

* My favorite dinosaur is the Tyrannosaurus rex. It had sharp teeth, was tall, had a long tail and was very big.

* My favorite dinosaur is the baryonyx. His name means “big claw.” I like him because he was a predator. He was smaller than a Tyrannosaurus but was able to kill other dinosaurs of its size. I would like to have one as a pet.
