Dinosaurs And Mythical Creatures - Facts for Kids

The plates on a Stegosaurus’s back were not solid bone but were filled with blood vessels that could help regulate its body temperature!

Defense & Hunting

Triceratops used its three sharp horns to defend itself against predators like Tyrannosaurus Rex!

The first complete Pterodactylus skeleton was found in the famous Solnhofen Limestone in Germany, which preserved even the delicate wing membranes!

Even though Pterodactylus was a skilled hunter, it probably avoided larger predatory dinosaurs by staying in the air where it was safe!

Stegosaurus had bony plates (osteoderms) in its skin even on its throat area, giving it extra protection from attackers!
