My 3 year-old granddaughter drew this "dinosaur". - Ariana, Toronto |
It is a two-headed Birdosaurus with a beak, seven wings, claws, spikes, a big neck plate for protection, and a special antenna with a horn that shoots a laser if a meat-eating dinosaur tries to eat it. It also has a cool power. It turns invisible when it flies. - Milo, Toronto |

My dinosaur is a Draco, a combination of a dragon and dinosaur. Its light body structure allows it to fly fast like a bird, and the wing's markings grow more vibrant during the mating season. The tail has fringes to help it steer. The Draco doesn't have a favourite food, it eats anything it can catch and eat, and it’s an omnivore. - Colleen, Toronto |
My dinosaur has a body of armour that looks like a pumpkin. The stem on top is so you have something to hang on to when you ride him. He has a long, stiff tail to swat away dinosaurs that try to sneak up from behind. - Lily, Phelpston |

My ultimate dino is named Maposauros. He has arrows on his feet to give directions, and schools of fish followed him because he always knows where he is going. He lived in salt water and traveled all over the world this way. His favourite food is shrimp linguine; so many Maposauros fossils were found near Italy. - Shelby, Sudbury |
GullRex - nicknamed G-Rex. He liked to live near the sea, and eat caveman's garbage. He was 3 meters tall and about 6 meters long. We can tell by their bones that the male G-Rex ate mainly garbage, but the female also ate leaves from palm trees and other leaves. The female had unusual orange spines that were probably used to warn off predators. - Shelby, Sudbury |

Chameleosaurus is a prehistoric relative of all chameleons. It has a long sticky tongue that has a lure on the end to help find its food - ancient bugs and small mammals. Its crest is used for temperature control and in males, mating display. It uses its tail as a bullwhip and its horn for goring predators. In the bottom left corner is a sandray, the chameleosaurus's symbiotic partner; its main use is cleaning up after the chameleosaurus to prevent predators from picking up the scent. In its era, right after the K-T extinction, it is at the top of the food chain. - Daniel, Toronto |
This creature can walk on land and swim in deep water; it is also a fine glider. The sails on the back are used to control body temperature (if it’s in the sun it goes really fast but if in shade it slows down). The long tongue is to sense prey and it’s very poisonous. It has webbed feet for fast swimming and the small sail is for steering in water and the tail is used for swimming fast too. This creature is very fast on land and water because of its agile looking body. It also has long claws to tear through meat of the victim. The wings are for gliding, this creature runs fast and when it jumps the wings catch the air and it glides fast. This is a carnivore and it craves meat. - Nihal, Toronto |

Kryptovenator neuquenii was a member of the little-known Carcharodontosaurs family. Its name means "hidden hunter from the Neuquén province" after the province in Argentina in which it was found. It was an ambush predator that hunted large herbivores such as Iguanodons, though at 10 meters, it didn't normally attack the large sauropods, such as Argentinosaurus. Sprouting from its back where quill-like protofeatheres, this could be raised to appear bigger during a confrontation. On its skull there where several holes evenly spaced on either sides in two rows. As similar structures where found on the abelisaurid Rugops, palaeontologists were able to figure out that these where the anchor points for structures that may have held up a sort of crest, which would have been able to fold back. But one of its strangest features was osteoderms (bony plates like the skin on the back of a crocodile) in rows along its back. This is a feature seen in some Abelisaurids, though not Carcharodontosaurs. Even stranger, at the end of the tail, they formed a club, that although unable to be used as a weapon, could have been used as display. The teeth of Kryptovenator where extremely tough and upon examination, turned out to be stronger than those of the famed T-Rex. And to aid the bone crunching manner of its mouth, several flattened teeth where found near the back, suggesting that this dinosaur may have been able to chew, lowering the chances of choking. Finally, the legs of Kryptovenator where extremely muscular, making it the perfect ambush predator. All of these facts where discovered after a specimen was mummified approximately 94 million years ago, an extremely lucky find. In all, Kryptovenator was one of the most amazing predators that have ever lived. - Henry, Toronto |
Each and every part of this dinosaur is in different color. That's why I call it Colorosaurus. Look how cute she is. - Nusha, Thornhill |
