Even MORE Dinosaur Coloring Pages

This is a free coloring pages blog.

There are over 2000 drawings that you can print and color. 

Today is different from most days.  

Today I am posting several dinosaur drawings.  

Some of the drawings are simple and cartoon style and 

some are more realistic.  But not super-realistic. 

Triceratops among the Cycads

This is a 30 feet long Triceratops feeding on cycads.  Triceratops lived in the dangerous Cretaceous Period.  It may have used its horns to defend itself from T. rex.  The horns also might have been used for courtship rituals.  This Triceratops is feeding on and among some cycads.  Cycads can be tall cycad trees or small cycad plants.  There is grass in the is drawing too... because new research shows that grass may have first evolved 100 million years ago.   Some research done by Dr. John Horner in Montana suggests that the fully adult Triceratops had  little bones on the edge of their frill as they grew up but no bones on the edge of their frill as fully grown adults.  The little bones were absorbed. .  And Triceratops' horns curved forward... IF they were full sized adults - liie this one. 

Mommy T. rex with Male Chick

Notice that the chick does not have its stripes or spots yet.  I thought that maybe the stripes or spots came me in later - like how Dalmations get their spots a few weeks after they are born.  By the way, T. rex lived 60-65 million years ago in the Cretaceous Period.  

Mommy T. rex with Female Chick

Notice that these two drawings are the same except for eyelashes on the chick.  .   . and one other thing is added.  Can you find it?  Putting eyelashes on an animal is a cartoon trick to make the animal female. Since crocodiles carry their young in their mouth it is speculated that Theropod dinosaurs, like Tyrannosaurus rex, may also have carried their young in their mouths.  It is funny to think of the animal with the most powerful bite of all animals could gently carry their young in that same deadly mouth. 

Allosaurus Hunting with Rhamphorhynchus in the Air

Allosaurus was also a large predatory Theropod dinosaur  It lived in the Jurassic Period 155-145 million years ago.  It had larger arms than T. rex and it had three fingers on each hand. It had a smaller head than T. rex, but some Allosaurs got to be 40 feet long... so it was almost as long as T. rex.was 43 or so feet long but was much heavier than an Allosaurus.  These two dinos never met in life.  Allosaurus scientific name is:  Allosaurus fragilis.

Supersaurus, Castorocauda, & Rhamphorhynchus

Supersaurus was a very long mid Jurassic Sauropod dinosaur.  It could reach lengths of up to 120 feet or 36.6 meters long.  It was the largest of the Diplodocid Sauropods.  

Castorocauda has a beaver-like mammal of the mid Jurassic.  It was the largest mammal of the Jurassic Peroid.  It was 17 inches or 43 cm. long.  It had a rather flat beaver-like tail. 

Rhamphorhynchus was a pterosaur with a 4.1 feet or 1.81 meters wingspan.  It had a long tail and also was a mid Jurassic animal. 

Young Triceratops vs Young T. rex

Young Parasaurolophus in the Nest

Parasaurolophus was a Cretaceous Hadrosaur or duck-billed dinosaur.  It had a large hollow crest that may have been used to communicate and to create a loud sound to drive off Tyrannosaurs.
