This is my free coloring pages blog.
I have drawn over 2800 coloring pages for you to choose from for you to print and color.
Today and tomorrow I have posted several drawings of dinosaurs for younger children to color.
I posted these drawings over the last two days.
T. rex and two Pteranodons flee a Volcano
Some paleontologists think that the biggest Tyrannosaurus rex specimens weighed up to 9 tons!
This is a simple drawing for younger kids to color. Triceratops horridus was the largest of the Ceratopsian dinosaurs. It was up to 30 feet long and had horns the length of broom handles... but much more sturdy and much sharper. The species name of "horridus" must be because it would be pretty horrible to meet a Triceratops if it was angry. Its top weight was the same as T. rex at 9 tons.
This dinosaur lived in what is now Antarctica. It was a 23 ft or 7 meters long Theropod or predator.
Spinosaurus was actually the biggest of all the predator dinosaurs. Fully grown adults were around 55 feet long. That is 16.8 meters long. Spinosaurus was 11 feet or 3.35 meters longer than a Tyrannosaurus rex. Spinosaurus was a fish-eating dinosaur. It had one huge claw on each hand for filleting the large fish it caught.
Sauropod Mommy & Calf
T. rex Daddy teaching Hunting
Evidence shows that Theropod dinosaurs, like T. rex, were good parents. Their chicks were hatched without the ability to feed themselves. So the parents must have cared for them. And, of course, the parents would have taught them hunting skills. There is other evidence that T. rex dinosaurs mated for life so the father would have helped raise the chicks... like in many bird species.
So, these pictures are all posted on the printables pages...
under the Paleontology button. Click the button and scroll down
to the bottom of the "Mesozoic" part of the list.
Have fun coloring!
