Pentaceratops did not have 5
horns, at least not in the sense that Triceratops has 3
horns. The namers were obviously thinking of the cheek
projections, which almost all ceratopsians have
anyways...so in essence Triceratops has 5 horns too, if
you count the cheek projection as a horn.

***, that is the size of a collie.
Overall, the length was 6 feet, but that's including a long, thin
tail. Think weight, not length. And "feathers" isn't a good
word to use because people get the image of flight feathers.
Velociraptor did not have flight feathers--it didn't fly. Its
"feathers" were more similar to fur, or "down."

{***}, according to nearly every
information source except Jurassic Park, velociraptor was 3 feet
tall.

Guessing Dino weights is a tricky matter.
Making a small mistake at the beginning will mean a big mistake later
at your final answer. Thus weight estimates for dinosaurs range
greatly. I liked the 15 ton estimate for T.Rex though...what was the
person who came up with that figure thinking?

{ahem!} Velociraptor was really 4 feet
tall and 6 feet long. it had FEATHERS not FUR!!!!! ummm sorry about
that. i get hyper with raptors since i like them so much. i learned
about Dinosaurs in the begining of second grade as a unit in science.
what about telling your class Ultrasauros could get up to 100 feet
long? {that's like 9 feet longer then a Brachiosaurus.} the author of
my library book said that Pentaceratops had 5 horns. i of course
didn't buy that for a second. cause where were the fourth and fifth
horn anyway? the other two couldn't be found on the drawing of the
skeleton or the painting. it can get up to 20 feet in
length.

I learned about dinosaurs in 2nd grade!
What kind of ideas are you looking for? Basic information, fossils,
lifestyle? It would be great to teach 2nd graders that Velociraptor
was only the size of a collie and had fur!

No a Spinosaurus could not kill a T.Rex.
Why? Becasue they never met. Lets say that we ignore this fact and
say that they did meet. Well, I suppose T.Rex would have easily
beaten Spinosaurus anyday, being tougher, deadiler and probally
faster than Spinosaurus. Forget anything you may have learnt from
Jurassic Park 3.

Crichton made his Dilophosaurus
spit poison because he thought that its jaws were too weak to
kill prey with, so it must have used poison. Actually,
Dilophosaurus has pretty strong and flexible jaws for catching
small animals, it didn't need poison. I also thought that
Iguanodon using his thumb spike for defense would be
awkward...I always thought of it using it to help scrape off
bark or something to eat, maybe.

listen, we have no proof dinosaurs
were bird. Ok we do have proof but you can't just say
dinosaurs were bird.

ummm...can we stop talking about
pioson spitting? oh and Dinosaurs WERE birds so if birds don't
spit pioson dinosaurs might have NOT!!! oh sorry i'm about to
be eaten by an Ornitholestes. {flies onto a branch}that's
better! well it's true Archaeopteryx are Ornitholestes prey.
small mammals and lizards too.

If birds do not spit posion, it is
very unlikely dinosaurs would do that. Why would they need
to?

It is very unlikly for
Dilophosaurus wetherilli to have spit poison in its defense.
Igunadon did have a thumb sike that it might have used to gash
into the preditor's side or even the face. We can't know for
sure.

can we please start a new topic
besides spitting pioson and defense? we know all dinosaurs
have some way of defense. i forgot to mention in my last post
that Iguanodon had that thumb spike. but now let's tart a
newer topic?

why would Dinoaurs need to spit
pioson? every dinosaur has some defense. Triceratopsians have
horns. meat eaters have razor sharp teeth and raptors their
huge claw on their second toe. some sauropods have really long
tails they can use as whips or they can go in the water.
Stegasaurs and Kentrosaurs have spikes on the end of their
tail. Ankliosauriods have armor. Duckbills can swim and that's
it i guess. my mom says they might've spit pioson but who
would belive that? heh heh heh

It's unlikely for dinosaurs to
spit poision, and if any of them could, why Dilophosaurus? I
don't see the reason why people think that Dilophosaurus COULD
have been able to spit posion when other dinosaurs have the
about the same odds as doing so. So why the focus on
Dilophosaurus? Oh wait...it's just another JP
myth.

In the movie Jurassic park Dilophosaurus had a
huge fan pop out. In real life Dilophosaurus's neck muscles would not allow
him to have this fan. But he could have spit poison but nobody
knows.
