Brontosaurus- Apatosaurus It has also been called Brontosaurus (thunder reptile) but the name Apatosaurus was given first. When fully grown it weighed about 30 tons! It therefore spent a great deal of time in the water which helped support its immense weight. They could live to be about 200 years old.
Brachiosaurus • Brachiosaurus was one of the tallest and largest dinosaurs yet found. It had a long neck, small head, and relatively short, thick tail. Brachiosaurus walked on four legs. Its front legs were longer than its hind legs. These unusual front legs together with its very long neck gave Brachiosaurus a giraffe-like stance and great height, up to 40-50 feet tall. • www.enchantedlearning.com
Triceratops Name means three horned face. Triceratops had a bony frill to protect its head, neck and shoulders. It's head was enormous, nearly a third as long as its whole body. Its curved jaw was very strong and like a parrots beak. Although it was a plant eater it was very fierce - even fighting with its own kind. Triceratops is the best known horned dinosaur. It had three horns: one on its nose and two long ones above its eyes.
Allosaurus was a large carnivorous dinosaur, which had a very large head, which was balanced only by his very long, very heavy tail. In what is now the United States, Allosaurus was the largest common predator dinosaur. It lived about 100 million years ago, in the Jurassic period of Earth. Allosaurus

Stegosaurus • Name means roofed reptile • The Stegosaurus had a very unique row of plate, or ridges that rose from his back in two separate rows, and long spikes at the end of his tail. • He was an herbivore, and could have eaten massive amounts of leafy greens during the course of a day, perhaps as much as his own body weight in food. • www.itsnature.org
Ankylosaurus • Ankylosaurus was a huge armored dinosaur, measuring about 25-35 feet long, and 4 feet tall; it weighed roughly 3-4 tons. Its entire top side was heavily protected from carnivores with thick, oval plates embedded (fused) in its leathery skin, 2 rows of spikes along its body, large horns that projected from the back of the head, and a club-like tail. It even had bony plates as protection for its eyes. Only its under-belly was unplated. Flipping it over was the only way to wound it. • www.enchantedlearning.com
Oviraptor • Name means egg thief • It had a short head and a powerful toothless beak. The jaws were curved so that it could crush very hard objects.

One enormous dinosaur,He must of weighed a ton;‘Til the lakes dried up
