Dinosaur Tracking

You are a Paleontologist who has just discovered the fossil remains of an enormous dinosaur. The whole world is eagerly awaiting your final report on your dinosaur. Your job is to create a report about your dinosaur that will answer the following questions:

1. What is the name of your dinosaur?
2. What does its name mean?
3. How big was your dinosaur?(how long and how tall)

4. How much did your dinosaur weigh?
5. What did your dinosaur do to protect itself from its enemies?
6. What did your dinosaur eat?
7. How did it walk? (2 or 4 legs, slow or fast)
8. Where have its fossils been found?
9. What are some interesting facts about your dinosaur?


You will use the link below to help locate the answers to these questions. Your teacher will give you a dinosaur tracking form to use to record your answers. Good Luck!
