Cretaceous Friends - Baby Dinosaur Friends coloring page

You have found my free coloring pages blog. 

This site has over 3000 free printable coloring pages.

Today's new drawing is of some baby dinosaurs. 

It is a cartoon-style drawing. 



Cretaceous Friends

Although this is a fun cartoon-style drawing, it is not totally inaccurate scientifically.  This is because there have been footprints found of dinosaurs, and the footprints have been of several different types or species of herbivore dinosaurs.  They obviously were traveling together in a mixed-species herd... or a mixed herd. These are obviously baby herbivorous dinos.

Another scientific accuracy is the volcano in the background.  Triceratops lived at the end of the Cretaceous Period, and there was a real uptick in volcanic activity the last several million years of the Cretaceous - BEFORE the asteroid hit and finished off the non-avian dinosaurs.  The baby Sauropod would have to be a baby Titanosaur of some kind. 

NOTE:  Since this is a drawing of dinosaurs from the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era, you can find the printable version by clicking on the "Paleontology" button and scrolling down to the Mesozoic Era section.  Click on the title and you'll get your free coloring page.  Have fun coloring this fun picture that is designed for younger kids to color.  FYI, there were 3 periods of the Mesozoic Era.  Triassic Period, Jurassic Period, and Cretaceous Period.  The  Mesozoic Era was divided into 3 periods.
