3 giant plant-eaters

Brachiosaurus
Diploducus


Seismosaurus




Brachiosaurus grew 84 feet in length. It could reach up to the nearest tree tops. It's nose was on top of there head. It could go under water and have that nose stick right up to breath. Now Diploducus. It grew up to be 100 feet in length. If you challenged him to a basket ball game he could slam dunk it at both ends of the court. Diploducus could snap trees like opening a bag of chips, it was that easy. Now the amazing Seismosaurus. It grew 125 feet in length. Seismosaurus means ''the earth shaker.''

Carnivores

Kronosaurus
Spinosaurus

Pteranodon
Today, I'm going to talk about these three dinosaurs. Kronosaurus is the fiercest water creature that ever lived. The reason why I'm calling Kronosaurus a ''creature'' is because it's not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs don't fly or swim.The creatures that fly or swim are called ''reptiles.'' There are specific names and they're for flying creatures are Pterosaurs. The water creatures are Plesiosaurs. Dinosaurs only walk on land.Spinosaurus is a very big vicious predator. Velociraptor hunt in packs. They have one 7 inch claw  on each foot. A pack of Velociraptors can take down a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
