The fun facts I discovered was they had three fingers on their arms to help them rip apart meat.
They lived in North America and Portugal.
Allosaurus had a large skull and walked on two legs.
I chose this dinosaur because its similar to a T Rex and because another name for an Allosaurus is The Nightmare Dragon which I thought was really cool.
Great job tayla. Zoe
ReplyDeleteGreat research Tayla, that dinosaur looks scary and 3m high is very tall. I would not like to meet one.

That was very interesting I did not know that they had three fingers to rip apart meat. I also would not like to meet one.

Hi Tayla
ReplyDeleteGreat report with a great pic.
It is so interesting how many different types of dinosaurs there are, as I have never seen a Allosaurus.
I think the name Nighttime dragon is super cool.
What other dinosaurs do you know?
i know lots because i am obsessed with them. i have lots of books about dinosaurs. I used to have dinosaur skeleton models hanging above my bed but they are not there now.
