NOTE: New drawings are located at the bottom of the lists of printable downloads. Click on the "Paleontology" button or the "All Printables" button to find the drawings to print and color. The older drawings are located further up the lists. These dinosaurs are all from the Mesozoic Era...so they are found on the Paleontology page and under the title of "Animals from the Mesozoic Era".
Torvosaurus on the Prowl

Torvosaurus and Rhamphorhynchus
(Prevoius Drawing...notice the head is not flat.)
Torvosaurus vs Allosaurus
(Older drawing with a Torvosaurus...with a head that is not flat enough.)
Torvosaurus as Feathered Theropod
(New Drawing)
There is a chance that Torvosaurus was a feathered Theropod. We don't know this at this time though. Still, as I have said before, some paleontologists think that eventually we will find that Theropods that were not form the Triassic Period may all have had feathers and eventually the fossil evidence will show up. In other words, the Theropods from the Jurassic Period and the Cretaceous Period may all have had feathers. But then again.... maybe not. We DO know that some dinosaurs did have feathers. . . the Yutyrannus and several raptor dinosaurs. This is why we think birds evolved from dinosaurs.

Microraptor flying through the Forest
(Older Drawing)
By the way, the tree with fan shaped leaves is a Ginkgo tree. It is the oldest broad leaf tree to evolve on the Earth. Both new drawings from today have Ginkgo trees. It was thought for years that Ginkgo trees were extinct...they were only known to Western Science by fossilized leaves and leaf imprints. Then it was discovered that the monks in China were cultivating them. They even grow wild in some parts of China.
