山大王迷上史前生物-恐龍不是一天兩天的事 但是直到最近爸鼻讓她看了侏儸紀公園I, II, III 山大王更是不可自拔地讓這些可怕的蜥蜴填滿他的想像力 尤s大王正在學閱讀 這些奇奇怪怪的史前生物每個都有個獨特的發音 剛好讓他學拼音 家裡兩三本恐龍的書有中文也有英文 但是每個月山大王都會到圖書館找新的恐龍書 山大王認得的恐龍已經比媽咪知道的要多了 山大王還會注意北美洲有出現哪些恐龍的化石 也會翻恐龍百科全書最後面的index去找他想看的恐龍 T-Rex是最普通的 連山大妞也會說"dinosaur" 從電影侏儸紀公園和書上 爸鼻媽咪也跟著學以下幾個史前可怕的蜥蜴的種類: 不然要聽山大王說故事和唸這些恐龍給他聽可是會很頭痛的 會飛的 Pteranodon ingens (terr-an-UH-don IN-genz) (toothless flyer) This was one of the largest of the flying reptiles. This short-tailed pterosaur had a lengthy wingspan of 23 to 25 feet. But its skull was even more remarkable. Its lower jaw was over 3 feet long. To balance this, a yard-long bony crest rose from the top of its beak to high over its head. Perhaps more asmazing is the fact that this creature only weighed about 35 to 40 pounds. Pteranodon ingens's long narrow beak had no teeth. It fed on fish it scooped up from the ocean. Its fossils have been found in North America. It lived from about 115 to 70 million years ago. * The Jurassic Periods last from 205 to 140 million years ago. Copyright 1985 Mark Hallett, "Awakening of Hunger" Bone Crusher Yeah, it's cliché to say Tyrannosaurus rex was deadly. But the tyrant king was likely true to the billing. Its bone-crushing jaws could splinter prey like toothpicks, after all. And the beast was big, up to 40 feet long, 20 feet tall, and may have topped the scales at nearly 16,000 pounds. The king walked on two legs over a vast territory in western North America at the end of the Cretaceous, about 65 million years ago. Scientists wonder whether T. rex was more a lumbering scavenger or a quick and agile predator, but dead or alive, its meals were big, meaty and bloody. T. rex wasn't the only deadly dino, however. The globe was filled vicious killers.

The evidence of its cannibalistic ways comes from tell-tale tooth marks on Majungasaurus bones that match up perfectly with the size and spacing of teeth in its jaws. The 20-foot-long dinosaur stalked the plains of Madagascar about 70 million years ago. At that time, the crime-scene investigators said, pickings were often slim. Their data indicate Majungasaurus fed on dried out "dino jerky" from its plant-eating compatriots as well as members of its own species. Cannibalism was likely just as common among dinosaurs as it is among living animals, but the evidence is rare. Brow Beater Eocarcharia dinops' brow was swollen into a massive band of bone. The menacing head piece may have been used as a battering ram against rivals and to attract potential mates. Its blade-shape teeth were reserved for disabling live prey and severing their body parts. The 110-million-year-old beast and its snout-nosed, gut-and-carcass-scavenging relative Kryptops palaios were discovered in Africa's Sahara Desert. The approximately 7-foot-tall and 25-foot-long duo likely teamed up with a third carnivore and feasted on the long-necked plant-eater Nigersaururs. Vicious Rocker The toothy Masiakasaurus knopfleri likely speared prey with its forward projecting front teeth and then sliced and tore the captives into chewy chunks with its blade-like rears. This type of tooth arrangement is otherwise unknown in predatory dinosaurs. Scientists believe the German Shepherd sized beast feasted on fish, lizards, and other critters on the southern supercontinent Gondwana in the Late Cretaceous period, about 65 to 70 million years ago. The first part of this dinosaur's name means "vicious lizard" and the second part is derived from the Dire Straits singer and guitarist Mark Knopfler, whose music inspired the discoverers as they toiled on the African island nation of Madagascar. Biggest Carnivore? At about 40 feet long and weighing an estimated 6 tons, Mapusaurus roseae was one of the biggest meat-eating dinosaurs to ever stalk the Earth. Bones of several individuals were discovered in one place, suggesting the giants may have hunted in packs that could have toppled perhaps the largest dinosaur that ever lived – a 100-foot-long plant eater called Argentinosaurus. Mapusaurus lived about 100 million years ago and was bigger than well known Tyrannosaurs rex and possibly larger than its older cousin, Gigantosaurus. Its teeth were narrow and blade like, made for slicing its prey. The bones were discovered in the Patagonia region of Argentina. Falcarius utahensis is the living image of a vicious meat eater trying to go vegetarian. Scientists aren't sure if the bird-like relative of Velociraptor had fully kicked its taste for flesh, but its meat-cutting teeth had shrunk to leaf-cutting size and its gut had expanded sufficiently to ferment plants. Falcarius walked on two legs and stood about 4.5 feet tall. Head to tail, it was about 13 feet long and wielded sharp, curved, four-inch long claws – perhaps to grab a bite when it fell off the wagon? The dinosaur lived during the Early Cretaceous, about 125 million years ago, in what is today Utah. Plant Ripper No plants were safe from Gryposaurus monumentensis, a big boned, duck-billed dinosaur that could have eaten any vegetation it stumbled across. Its massive skull packed more than 300 teeth for slicing up fibrous greens. Hundreds more replacement teeth rested in its jawbone for the call-up to action. The dinosaur lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 75 million years ago on the western side of a giant, shallow ocean that split North America at that time. The plant-munching beast may have reached 30 feet long as an adult and had a 3-foot-long head. From: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23526147?GT1=43001 |
