1. Riojalon
Oharosaurids were the only species living in South America during the Late Triassic
Riojasaurus (genus name: Riojasaurus) is a herbivorous prosauropod dinosaur with a heavy body, huge and strong legs, and a long neck and long tail. For prosauropod specimens, the leg bones of Riojasaurus are large and dense. ,
2. Earthquake Dragon
One of the larger herbivorous dinosaurs
Seismosaurus (genus name: Seismosaurus) lived in the late Jurassic, from the Kimmeridgian to the Tithonian, about 154 million years ago to 144 million years ago. The tail is slightly longer than the neck, the head is small, and one toe has a claw.
3. Barolosaurus
Almost the tallest dinosaur in North America
Barlowosaurus, also translated as "heavy dragon", is very similar to its close relative Diplodocus. The two bodies are very long, and the highest point of the body is at the hip when standing; but the proportions of the neck and tail of the two are different.
4. Spike-shaped dragon
The normal state is a completely quadrupedal state
Kentrosaurus (genus name: Kentrosaurus), also known as Kentrosaurus, is a genus of dinosaurs in the family Stegosauridae. It lived during the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic, about 155.7 million to 150.8 million years ago. In front, four stubby calves carried the heavy body while walking.
5. Gallimimus
The largest ornithomimus
Gallimimus (scientific name: Gallimimus) is a genus of dinosaur in the family Ornithomimidae. It was discovered in the Nemeget Formation of Mongolia during the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian Stage). Gallimimus could reach a length of 4-6 meters and weighed 440 kilograms, making it the largest ornithomimosaur.
6. Diplodocus
One of the easiest dinosaurs to identify
Diplodocus (scientific name: Diplodocus) is a genus of dinosaur in the family Diplodocidae. It lived in western North America at the end of the Jurassic period, and its era can be traced back to 150 million to 147 million years ago.
7. Apatosaurus
One of the largest creatures on land
Apatosaurus, a genus of Apatosaurus in the family Diplodocidae, including A. ajax and A. louisae. It weighs 30 tons. According to the newly discovered dinosaur thigh bone in Argentina, it is 4-5.5 meters tall and about 35 meters long.
8. Bentosaurus
Can walk on all fours as well as on two legs
Camptosaurus was huge, very similar to Iguanodon, with a small skull, short forelimbs, and long hind legs, allowing it to walk on four legs. It spends most of its time on all fours, eating plants growing lower, but it can also stand upright on its hind legs to eat plants growing higher or to avoid predators.
