Unit 15 Composition

Three dinosaurs

Tyrannosaurus Rex is 14 m long and 5 ½ m height. It eats meat and smaller dinosaurs. It lived 67 million years ago in North America and perhaps in South America.

It is large and has strong legs, short arms, and sharp teeth. It is very dangerous and fierce.

Diplodocus has an 8 m long neck and a 14 m long tail. Unlike Tyrannosaurus Rex, it eats leaves from tall trees. It lived 185 million years ago in many parts of the world.

It is one of the longest dinosaurs; it has a small head. It is gentle; it is not dangerous and fierce.

Stegosaurus is 7 ½ m long. Like Diplodocus it eats plants. It lived 150 million years ago in North America.

It has spines all along its back and a very small head. Compared to Tyrannosaurus Rex and Diplodocus, Stegosaurus had an extremely small brain.
