Model of a dinosaur egg. Dinosaur reproduction shows correlation with archosaur physiology, with newborns hatching from eggs that were laid in nests. [1] [2] Dinosaurs did not nurture their offspring as mammals typically do, and because dinosaurs did not nurse, it is likely that most dinosaurs were capable of surviving on their own after hatching.

Prehistoric Planet is a British–American nature documentary television series about dinosaurs, that premiered on Apple TV+ beginning May 23, 2022.

For decades, Compsognathus was known as the smallest known non-avian dinosaur, [5] although some dinosaurs discovered later, such as Mahakala and Microraptor, were even smaller. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] The German specimen was estimated to be 70–75 cm (28–30 in) [ 5 ] and 89 cm (35 in) [ 3 ] in length by separate authors, while the larger French ...
The crests and frills of some dinosaurs, like the marginocephalians, theropods and lambeosaurines, may have been too fragile to be used for active defense, and so they were likely used for sexual or aggressive displays, though little is known about dinosaur mating and territorialism. Head wounds from bites suggest that theropods, at least ...
Ornithomimus was a swift, bipedal dinosaur which fossil evidence indicates was covered in feathers and equipped with a small toothless beak that may indicate an omnivorous diet. It is usually classified into two species: the type species, Ornithomimus velox, and a referred species, Ornithomimus edmontonicus.
“Prehistoric Planet” is back on Apple TV+ with over two dozen new extinct species to explore. Given the amount of dinosaurs and birds, the biggest challenge for supervising sound editor Jonny ...
Both Guanlong specimens compared to a human. Guanlong was a relatively small theropod, reaching 3–3.5 m (9.8–11.5 ft) in length and 125 kg (276 lb) in body mass. [2] [3] [4] Its fossils were found in the Shishugou Formation dating to about 160 million years ago, in the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic period, [2] 92 million years before its well-known relative Tyrannosaurus.
Allosaurus (/ ˌ æ l ə ˈ s ɔːr ə s /) [1] [2] is an extinct genus of large carnosaurian theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to late Tithonian ages). The name "Allosaurus" means "different lizard", alluding to its unique (at the time of its discovery) concave vertebrae.
