How much do you know about the top ten dinosaurs in the world?

A type of reptiles that appeared in the Mesozoic era are called dinosaurs. Most of them had strong limbs, long tails and huge bodies. So what are the interesting record-breaking records in the huge and mysterious world of dinosaurs? Let’s take a look!

1. Fragile double-chambered dragon

largest dinosaur

Amphibianus fragilis was the largest dinosaur in history, even weighing more than the blue whale. It is 35 meters long and is closely related to Diplodocus. Amphibelophora fragile was discovered in 1877. Its name comes from the ancient Greek "fragillimus", which means "very fragile", referring to the very thin lamina of the neural arch. The femur of Amphora fragilis is estimated to be 3.7 meters high, the front legs are 5.75 meters long, the hind legs are 7.5 meters long, and the hip height is 9.7 meters. However, these are conservative estimates and may differ from actual body size.

2. Tyrannosaurus Rex

The most ferocious dinosaur

Tyrannosaurus rex, also known as Tyrannosaurus rex, lived in the Maastrichtian stage at the end of the Cretaceous period, about 68.5 million to 65 million years ago. It was the last dinosaur before the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. One of the non-avian dinosaur species. It is the thickest carnivorous dinosaur. All dinosaurs cannot escape from Tyrannosaurus rex, because its sharp teeth and amazing bite force can tear apart all prey in an instant.

3. Troodon

the smartest dinosaur

Troodon lived in the late Cretaceous period, about 75 million to 65 million years ago. It was originally named because of its sharp teeth. At first, people first thought it was a lizard, and then they thought it was a stupid-looking dinosaur. Later, after putting its bones together, they discovered that their previous understandings and understandings were almost all wrong. In terms of body-to-brain ratio, Troodon had the largest brain among dinosaurs, and its sensory organs were very developed, so it was considered the most intelligent dinosaur.

4. Stegosaurus

The dumbest dinosaur

Stegosaurus is a huge herbivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Jurassic. It had a row of huge bony plates on its back and a dangerous tail with four spikes for defense. The Predator Strike is approximately 7-9 meters long, 2.35 to 3.5 meters tall, and weighs 2 to 4 tons. But its brain is only 70 grams, so Stegosaurus is the dumbest dinosaur.

5. Compsognathus

smallest dinosaur

Compsognathus, also known as Lesognathus and Showgnathus, is a genus of small, bipedal, carnivorous theropod dinosaurs. It was about the size of a turkey and lived in Europe during the early Tithonian period of the Late Jurassic, about 150 million years ago. For decades, Compsognathus was described as the smallest dinosaur. Compsognathus' weight is estimated to be between 0.83 and 3.5 kilograms, based on the largest specimens.

6. Deinonychus

fastest dinosaur

Deinonychus is a genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaurs that lived from the middle Aptian to early Albian stages of the Lower Cretaceous Period, about 115 million to 180 million years ago. Deinonychus was small, only 1 meter tall when standing, and its total body length was only 2.5 meters. About the size of a foal. When hunting, it moves extremely quickly. It often jumps onto its prey and slits its neck with lightning speed. It completes these actions so quickly and powerfully that the opponent does not even understand what is going on. It has become It's a delicious meal too.

7. Super Dragon

heaviest dinosaur

Chaosaurus is also translated as Superosaurus, which means "super lizard". It is a diplodocoid dinosaur. It is estimated that it weighed approximately 66 tons, and some even speculated that it weighed 88 tons, which is almost the maximum limit for animals that can survive on land. The spine of a super dragon alone can be one meter and forty centimeters long.

8. Brachiosaurus

longest dinosaur

Brachiosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in the late Jurassic. Brachiosaurus was one of the largest animals to ever live on land and one of the most famous of all dinosaurs. A huge herbivorous dinosaur from the late Jurassic period, its name originally means "lizard with a head like a wrist." A 25-meter-long adult Brachiosaurus can lift its head 13 meters above the ground, which is equivalent to the height of a 4-story building.

9. Mother Dragon

The gentlest dinosaur

The English name of the loving mother dragon (maiasaura) means "good mother lizard". In 1979 in Montana, scientists discovered some dinosaur nests, including the skeletons of small dinosaurs. So they named this kind of dinosaur Aegosaurus. Mother dragons have the habit of living in groups and are used to building nests in groups.

10. Brontosaurus

The loudest dinosaur

Also known as Apatosaurus, it belongs to the genus Apatosaurus in the family Diplodocidae and weighs up to 30 tons. But Apatosaurus was a gentler herbivore. The back half of its body is higher than its shoulders, but when it stands on its hind heels, it can be said to be towering into the sky. In 1997, a computer simulation of Apatosaurus' tail found that its tail was extremely long and tapered, resembling a whip. It is therefore believed that sauropods could emit a sound of 200 decibels, comparable to a cannon.
