That's
right! This foot belonged to an Allosaurus, which was very good at
kicking and fighting! Look at the toes, and imagine the long claws that
made this foot a dangerous weapon.
Human
feet were made for walking. The heel bones are larger than in most
animals and offer solid support for walking and running.
Dinosaur
fossils are rarely found in complete skeletons. Usually the bones are scattered
and paleontologists
have to sort them and piece them back together.
Here are two complete skeletons-an ornitholestes dinosaur and a human. Although they lived over 70 million years apart, their bones have become jumbled. Can you sort the bones and drag them to the right place on each outline?
and create your own dinosaur skeleton using pipe cleaners or wire! |
