Would that include the rodlike 'squids' we see around it? |

*points towards shore* Check out that pair of Coelophysis on the beach, looking for food, no doubt.  |

*pointing up* Look up there! Pterodactylus! The first pterosaur known to science. The first Pterodactylus fossils were discovered in Bavaria, Germany, in 1780, and were thought to belong to a marine animal. It took seventy-six years for it to be correctly identified as a flying animal. Since then, more than thirty skeletons have been discovered, many of which are complete. :max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/pterodactylusNT-58b9ca745f9b58af5ca6c402.jpg) |

*points toward some trees as a pair of crested Hadrosaurs emerge*Parasaurolophus, my favourite hadrosaur. You may notice one has a larger crest than the other and that's because these dinos are sexually dimorphic, males have larger crests than females and juveniles. You also don't have to worry about them trying to eat you, they're herbivores so they only eat leaves, twigs and pine needles.

The front legs look as if they are just for support, so the creature is basically bipedal?

Generally, they spend most of their time on all-fours, but if they need to, they can stand and run at speeds of up to 50kph. Wow, that's cool! |

*Tour group hears a loud rumble. Turns and sees a herd of large dinos wandering out of the trees behind them*Stegosaurus, or as I like to call them, "Spike-tails". These guys are herbivores, but I suggest not getting too close to that tail coz they can do some serious damage with those spikes.

Let me tell you a little story of what can happen when the safety rules are ignored. On one of my previous tours, there was a woman who, despite me instructing her to stay at a respectable distance, decided she wanted a close-up photo with a baby Steg. No surprise, the adults perceived her to be a threat to the infant and they attacked her. Thankfully, she escaped without any serious injury, but that encounter shows that, even though these animals are herbivores, it doesn't mean they're always going to be quiet and friendly.
