Carnivorous dinosaur is big, hind of powerful and fore short large dinosaurs. They all belong to theropod, often called carnivorous dragon or predators lizard. Carnivorous dinosaur walks by hind, Due to the enormous load hind weight, so action may not how fast. Their head, double jaw is very long, jaw bone whole row enormous curved, looks like a steak knife edge of sawtooth. Carnivorous dinosaur mainly other dinosaurs, sometimes eat dead animals. They may be the first with claws, then kill prey hind with teeth and claws of the fore, tear prey to eat meat. Virtual bone dragons and a carnivorous dinosaur, but they and general carnivorous dinosaur completely different. Virtual bone dragons posture lightsome, action quick, easy to grab a pair of long arms and hands, and long and narrow jaw bone. They run fast, small mammals and to hunt for food. In addition, the dragons are often in large carnivorous dinosaur satiate after picking up the rest of the resial elastic to eat. Virtual bone dragons motto is: no one. Use will partner.肉食性恐龍是以群頭大、後肢有力而前肢很短的大型恐龍。它們都屬於獸腳亞目，常常被稱為食肉龍或食肉蜥蜴。肉食性恐龍靠後肢行走；由於後肢要負荷龐大身軀的重量，因此行動起來可能不怎麼快速。它們的頭很大，雙顎很長，顎骨上整排巨大彎曲的利齒，看起來就像牛排刀邊緣的鋸齒一樣。肉食性恐龍主要以其他恐龍為食，有時也吃動物屍體。它們可能是先用有利爪的後肢捕殺獵物，然後再藉助利牙和前肢利爪的幫助，把獵物的肉撕扯下來吃。虛骨龍也是一種肉食性恐龍，但它們和一般肉食性恐龍完全不同。虛骨龍的體態輕盈、行動敏捷，有一雙便於抓取的長手臂和手掌，以及長又窄的顎骨。它們奔跑的速度很快，以追捕小型哺乳動物和昆蟲為食。此外，虛骨龍也常會在大型肉食性恐龍吃飽後，撿剩下的Tyrannosaurus rex skull

Dinosaur is about ten million years ago, earth reptiles. There are many kinds of them, the body size, shape, living habit each are not identical, land, sea and air were dinosaurs reptiles activities. Big as China's sichuan province found hechuan horse hechuan county, the dragon gate 22 meters long, body weight, high 3.5 meters 40 ~ 50 tons. Usually in the depth of 5 ~ 10 meters of lakes in the life, using the buoyancy of water body, with the top heavy water algae for food. Little parrot dragon whole body only a puppy. Some can fly through the air, like the long tail beaks dragon, sharp teeth and a long tail. Tail end a fly swatler shapes of membrane, as the tool tip is flying. Plenty of the overlord, such as fish, meat good Himalayan swim, jaw long, long kiss, mouth has formed teeth, looks like the dolphins today. Plenty of onshore warrior, such as stegosaurus, height 6 meters high, small head, back, has two triangular plates, tail pointed up at the foot, is a bone spur weapons. To 1 million years ago, e to strong crust movement caused by the terrain, climate change, seek hegemony a dinosaur in the earth was completely destroyed. Dinosaurs were the cause of destruction, but should see no reason is various and complicated, is the external environment and inner factors interact dinosaurs殘渣碎屑吃。虛骨龍的座右銘是:六親不認.用牙將同伴殺害.
恐龍是距今1億3千萬年前地球上爬行動物的總稱。它們的種類很多，身體大小、形狀、生活習性各不相同，陸地、海洋、空中都是恐龍類爬行動物的活動場所。大的如中國四川省合川縣發現的合川馬門溪龍，全身長22米，體高3.5米，體重40～50噸。平時在水深5～10米的湖泊中生活，利用水的浮力浮起笨重的身體，以水中的藻類為食物。小的鸚鵡龍整個身體只有一隻小狗大。有的能在空中飛翔，像長尾的喙嘴龍，有尖利的牙齒和長長的尾巴。尾巴末端有一塊像蒼蠅拍形狀的膜，飛翔的工具是翼膜。有的是海中的霸王，如喜馬拉雅魚龍，食肉善游，上下頜特別長，形成長吻，口內有牙齒，外貌很像今天的海豚。有的是陸上的武士，如劍龍，身長6米，頭小，背部高拱，有兩排三角形的骨板豎立著，尾尖處有骨刺，是御敵的武器。到了1億3千萬年前左右，由於強烈的地殼運動所引起的地形、氣候的變化，稱霸一時的恐龍在地球上就完全滅絕了。恐龍滅亡的原因至今沒有定論，但應看到原因是多方面的、復雜的，是當時外界環境的改變與恐龍內在因素相互作用影響的結果

Dinosaur Introction

Dinosaurs were reptiles and most dinosaurs hatched from eggs. Amazingly blue whales are bigger than any dinosaur found so far. The largest dinosaurs were over 100 feet long and up to 50 feet tall. The smallest dinosaurs, were about the size of a chicken.

No one knows exactly what noises dinosaurs made, what color they were or even when they lived. But scientist do have theories on these topics and you can find some of this information in our links.

Most dinosaurs were plant-eaters (herbivores) about 65% of them. Some dinosaurs were meat-eaters (carnivores). Dinosaurs had many different distinguishing features that you can read more about when reading facts on each dinosaur.

No one really knows exactly how many dinosaur species exist. The estimates vary from between 250 to over 1300 species.

The term dinosaur (terrible lizard) was coined by the English anatomist Sir Richard Owen in 1842.

No one knows how the dinosaurs became extinct or even if they are extinct, but there are many interesting theories on the topic and you can read more about them from our links page

⑼ 恐龍的介紹全英文

初一的課本也有!
Dinosaurs, one of the most successful groups of animals (in terms of longevity) that have ever lived, evolved into many diverse sizes and shapes, with many equally diverse modes of living. The term "Dinosauria" was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 to describe these "fearfully great reptiles," specifically Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, and Hylaeosaurus, the only three dinosaurs known at the time. The creatures that we normally think of as dinosaurs lived ring the Mesozoic Era, from late in the Triassic period (about 225 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago). But we now know that they actually live on today as the birds.
Some things to keep in mind about dinosaurs:
• Not everything big and dead is a dinosaur. All too often, books written (or movies made) for a popular audience include animals such as mammoths, mastodons, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and the sail-backed Dimetrodon. Dinosaurs are a specific subgroup of the archosaurs, a group that also includes crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds. although pterosaurs are close relations, they are not true dinosaurs. Even more distantly related to dinosaurs are the marine reptiles, which include the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. Mammoths and mastodons are mammals and did not appear until many millions of years after the close of the Cretaceous period. Dimetrodon is neither a reptile nor a mammal, but a basal synapsid, i.e., an early relative of the ancestors of mammals.

• Not all dinosaurs lived at the same time. Different dinosaurs lived at different times. Despite the portrayals in movies like King Kong and Jurassic Park, no Stegosaurus ever saw a Tyrannosaurus, because Tyrannosaurus didn't appear on the scene until 80 or so million years following the extinction of stegosaurs. The same goes for Apatosaurus ("Brontosaurus") — it's bones were already well-fossilized by the time T. rex came along.

• Dinosaurs are not extinct. Technically. Based on features of the skeleton, most people studying dinosaurs consider birds to be dinosaurs. This shocking realization makes even the smallest hummingbird a legitimate dinosaur. So rather than refer to "dinosaurs" and birds as discrete, separate groups, it is best to refer to the traditional, extinct animals as "non-avian dinosaurs" and birds as, well, birds, or "avian dinosaurs." It is incorrect to say that dinosaurs are extinct, because they have left living descendants in the form of cockatoos, cassowaries, and their pals — just like modern vertebrates are still vertebrates even though their Cambrian ancestors are long extinct.

⑽ 用英文介紹恐龍

Dinosaurs (Greek: δεινόσαυρος, deinosauros) were the dominant terrestrial vertebrate animals for over 160 million years, from the late Triassic period, about 230 million years ago (Ma), until the end of the Cretaceous period, about 65 Ma, when most of them became extinct in the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event. The fossil record indicates that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs ring the Jurassic period, and most paleontologists regard them as the only clade of dinosaurs to have survived until the present day.

Dinosaurs were a varied group of animals. Paleontologists have identified over 500 distinct genera and more than 1,000 different species of dinosaur, and remains have been found on every continent on Earth. Some dinosaurs were herbivorous, others carnivorous. Some were bipedal, others quadrupedal, and others were able to shift between these body postures. Many species developed elaborate skeletal modifications such as bony armor, horns or crests. Although generally known for their large size, many dinosaurs were human-sized or even smaller. Most major groups of dinosaurs are known to have built nests and laid eggs, suggesting an oviparity similar to that of modern birds.

The term "dinosaur" was coined in 1842 by Sir Richard Owen and derives from Greek δεινός (deinos) "terrible, powerful, wondrous" + σαῦρος (sauros) "lizard". Through the first half of the 20th century, most of the scientific community believed dinosaurs to have been sluggish, unintelligent cold-blooded animals. Most research concted since the 1970s, however, has supported what has since become the scientific consensus view: that dinosaurs were active animals with elevated metabolisms and numerous adaptations for social interaction.

Since the first dinosaur fossils were recognized in the early nineteenth century, mounted dinosaur skeletons have become major attractions at museums around the world. Dinosaurs have become a part of world culture and remain consistently popular. They have been featured in best-selling books and films such as Jurassic Park, and new discoveries are regularly covered by the media. As a result, the word "dinosaur" has entered the common vernacular, although its use and meaning in colloquial speech may be inconsistent with modern science. In English, for example, "dinosaur" is commonly used to describe anything that is impractically large, slow-moving, obsolete, or bound for extinction.
