Dinosaurs A to Z

The Dinosaur Dictionary provides a handy reference for any young dinosaur enthusiast who wants to know more about his or her favourite dinosaur.

It contains over 150 animals from Albertosaurus to Zephyrsaurus, covering all major dinosaur and archesaur (e.g. marine and flying reptile) groups from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, and includes the latest finds such as feathered dinosaurs, Ufuzzy raptors and Therizinosaurs.

Every entry contains key information such as size, weight, plant or meat eater and speed, plus special features that make that dinosaur especially memorable.

Find out how Bambirapor got its name, how Coelophysis was taken into space and learn what dinosaur was named after a rock guitarist!

Individual entries are linked to major dinosaur groups so that, for example, under Diplodocus there is a link to a feature on sauropods.

Other feature boxes look at aspects of dinosaur behaviour, such as nesting and hunting.

Every entry is illustrated, and there are giant artworks for the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and ten of the most popular dinosaurs.
