DINOSAURS IN CRETACEOUS MONGOLIA Mongolia is odd because the comparative lack of food means that most of the dinosaurs there remained quite small, most no bigger than a man. There were a few large dinosaurs though. Tarbosaurus was the Mongolian equivalent of Tyrannosaurus Rex and was almost as large. The large Herbivore s grew into many strange shapes. Therezinosaurus was a bipedal herbivore about as tall as tarbosaurus with a long neck, small head and characteristic long Claw s on the hands which it used for defence and to help it browse far away trees. Small Ankylosaur s were the Armour -plated residents and Hadrosaur s provided large prey for the Carnivore s. Strange creatures like the Oviraptor fed on many of the same things velociraptor did and the two Species often competed for food. The Gobi Desert was often interspersed with Scrubland and occasionally a dense Rainforest supporting many types of Plant life, Insect s and small dinosaurs like Mononeichus . Dinosaurs like these and the velociraptor were among the dinosaurs that would eventually evolve into modern Bird s. |
