This is the list of all dinosaurs (and spoken facts) kids will have to discover in this iPad / iPhone game.
Special thanks to Raul Lunia (Dinoraul) for his great 3D dinosaurs models!
The Centrosaurus Centrosaurus means "pointed lizard" because they have a small row of little horns all along their frills. The Centrosaurus is a herbivore and lives in a herd several dozen strong. |
The Compsognathus Compsognathus means "dainty jaw". This dinosaur feeds on lizards and insects. The Compsognathus is a very small dinosaur and runs very fast. |
The Dilong Dilong means "Emperor dragon" in Chinese. The Dilong is very small but is one of the ancestors of the enormous Tyrannosaurus! |
The Dilophosaurus Dilophosaurus means "two-crested lizard". The Dilophosaurus has very thin teeth and prefers to use its claws to kill prey. |
The Diplodocus Diplodocus means "double beam" because of the shape of some of the bones in its tail. The Diplodocus uses this long tail like a whip to defend itself! |
The Giganotosaurus Giganotosaurus means "giant southern lizard". The Giganotosaurus is bigger than the Tyrannosaurus and its head is twice as big as that of an Allosaurus! |
The Gigantspinosaurus Gigantspinosaurus means "giant-spined lizard" because it has enormous spines on its shoulders. The Gigantspinosaurus is the size of a man and eats plants. |
The Lambeosaurus Lambeosaurus means "Lambe's lizard"; Lambe is the name of the person who discovered it. The Lambeosaurus is enormous and can move around on two or four legs. |
The Maiasaura Maiasaura means "caring mother lizard" because it looks after its young so well. Maiasaura live in big herds and stick together to defend nests from predators. |
The Majungasaurus Majungasaurus means "Mahajanga lizard" after the name of the region of Madagascar where it lived. Majungasaurus are cannibals; sometimes they even try to eat each other! |
The Mononykus Mononykus means "one claw" because it has just one claw at the end of its arm! The Mononykus is a small dinosaur that runs very fast and feeds off small animals. |
The Ouranosaurus Ouranosaurus means "brave lizard". The Ouranosaurus has a large "sail" on its back which it uses to regulate its temperature. |

The Prestosuchus Prestosuchus means "fast crocodile" and it lived before the dinosaurs. Thanks to its big paws, the prestosuchus could cover ground fast to chase other animals. |
The Psittacosaurus Psittacosaurus means "parrot lizard" because it has a beak like a parrot's. The Psittacosaurus is a little dinosaur but it is part of the same family as the mighty Triceratops! |
