Herbivores & Long-necks

Triceratops

A bulky plant-eater with three horns and a large bony neck frill. It lived at the same time as T. rex and was one of its possible prey.

💡 Did you know? Its skull, up to 2.5 metres long, is among the largest of any land animal.

Stegosaurus

Unmistakable for the two rows of large bony plates along its back and the spikes on its tail. This plant-eater lived in the Jurassic of North America.

💡 Did you know? Its brain was only about the size of a walnut: tiny for a nine-metre animal.

Brachiosaurus

A giant long-neck whose front legs were longer than its hind legs: so its neck rose steeply upward like a giraffe's.

💡 Did you know? With its high-held head it could browse leaves more than twelve metres up.

Diplodocus

One of the longest dinosaurs ever: a slender long-neck with an extremely long neck and whip-like tail, up to 27 metres long.

💡 Did you know? It may have been able to crack its tail like a whip: faster than the speed of sound.

Ankylosaurus

A living tank: its back and head were covered in bony plates, and its tail ended in a heavy bony club for defence.

💡 Did you know? A blow from its tail club could break an attacker's bones.

Parasaurolophus

A plant-eater with a flat ‘duck bill’ and a long, curved tube-like crest on its head.

💡 Did you know? Through the hollow crest it could probably produce deep, trumpet-like calls.

Pachycephalosaurus

Notable for its extremely thick, dome-shaped skull roof of solid bone, ringed by small bumps.

💡 Did you know? Whether they head-butted like rams is still debated today.
