Triceratops was a plant eating-dinosaur that looked a lot like a rhinoceros. It walked on four legs and had three horns on its face. The two biggest horns were on the top of the triceratops' head above its eyes. The smaller horn was right above its nose. Since triceratops walked so slowly, it couldn't run from predators. Instead it charged them with its three sharp horns. Triceratops also had a big bony frill on its head like a huge collar. Triceratops babies hatched from eggs. Adult triceratops grew to be up to 30 feet long and 10 feet tall.

Tyrannosaurus rex was a huge, fierce meat-eating dinosaur that lived in the forest. It walked on its back two hind legs and had two short arms with sharp claws. Tyrannosaurus rex ate other large dinosaurs, like triceratops, that couldn't defend themselves or run away fast enough. This dinosaur had thick scaly skin that was rough and scratchy. Adult T-Rexes were huge and grew be to 40 feet long and up to 20 feet tall. Its biggest teeth were over 9 inches long!

Stegosaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that had a sharp spiked tail and plates along its back. It walked on all four legs, but stegosaur's back legs were twice as long as its front legs. This was a big dinosaur and was up to 30 feet long, but stegosaurs had a very tiny brain the size of a walnut. It also had no teeth. Instead, the dinosaur used its beak to grind plants to eat. The large, flat, bony plates along its back and its very heavy spiked tail protected stegosaurs from predators.
