Psittacosaurus (meaning “parrot lizard”) was a small, very primitive ceratopsian. This fast-moving plant-eater had a narrow, horny beak with no teeth, and cheek teeth towards the rear of the mouth. It had a boxy skull with short, horn-like projections on the cheeks. It had four long fingers on each hand; the arms were much shorter than the legs.
The Centrosaurus was a stocky dinosaur with large strong muscles from the late Cretaceous found in Canada. It was not the largest dinosaur of its family (only 20 ft long), and was a lot like the modern Rhinoceros.
The Triceratops, similar to to the modern day Rhino, had three distinctive horns found on its face as well as a large body and a unique frill around its head.
Probably the most well-known flying dinosaur, the Pterodactyl is not actually a dinosaur at all, but a distant cousin called Pterosaur! Pterosaurs were airborne reptiles of the late Jurassic period, and therefore are frequently associated with dinosaurs in the popular imagination. Pterodactyl used to soar through the pre-historic skies of what is now Europe and northern Africa.
