TRANSCRIPT
The Diplodocus (dip-lod-ic-us) was not the largest dinosaur, but they
were the longest! They could be up to 27 metres long (89 feet). They
were as heavy as a bus or about 3 elephants. We think they used
their long and heavy tail to hit their attackers. They had a big body
but a very small head. They did not have sharp teeth, because they
were plant eaters. They would eat trees, ferns and bushes.

Parasaurolophus (pah-rah-saw-rol-of-us) ate bushes and trees. They
could be about 10 metres long and weighed about as much as an
elephant. (3.5 tons) They had a big crest on their head, this could
be 1.8 metes long which is as long as a full grown person. Scientists
think they used this to make sounds maybe to attract a mate or to
talk to each other. Their tail was very tall but not that long.

Pterodactyl (terr-uh-dak-tul) was a flying reptile. It was not really a
dinosaur, but a pterosaur (terr-uh-saw). Its name means winged
finger. They were not normally very big and averaged 3.5 feet long.
The biggest was 3.5 metres though, that is the same size as a
elephant! They were carnivores and ate meat, with that long beak
probably small animals and fish.

Stegosaurus (steg-oh-saw-rus) means ‘’roofed lizard.’’ This is because of the bony plates on its back that looked like roof tiles. It
was a big dinosaur and was about 9 metres long and 4 metres tall!
They weighed about the same as a large car. They were not very
clever dinosaurs and had a brain the size of a table tennis ball. They
were herbivores, which means they ate plants and bushes. They
had spikes on their tail to hit dinosaurs that tried to eat them.
