Eoraptor is is one of the very first dinosaurs. How can you tell that it could move quickly? Sharing the world Dinosaurs shared the world with lots of different animals and so do we. Can you find any prehistoric creatures which are still alive now? Muttaburrasaurus Scientists think that Muttaburrasaurus may have used the bump on its nose to make sounds. What do you think it might have sounded like? Why don’t you try! Giganotosaurus Look out! Giganotosaurus was the largest meat eater of all – even larger than T. rex. But there were small meat eaters too. Can you find one? Life on the edge – Lightning Ridge What would your life have been like if you were one of these dinosaurs at Lightning Ridge 110 million years ago?
