Colorado Springs Dinosaur Museum

My family and I went to a dinosaur museum in Woodland Park, Colorado. We drove passed the museum on our long road trip, so we decided to check it out. There were many interesting fossils, and they came in a variety of shapes and sizes. Here are some photos of what we saw.

This is me standing by a dinosaur fossil

Utahraptors hunt big herbivores, like the Iguanodon. They used the big claw on their feet to scratch open prey.

The Pteranodon was a large flying reptile that lived near the ocean. It ate fish and squid. It had a wing span of thirty five feet from tip to tip.

This is one of several dinosaur museums that I've been to around the world. Stay tuned for more posts about the other museums I visited.

A Diplodocus body is slightly bigger than an elephant's body. Baby Diplodocus gains 5 pounds each day. That means, that after each year, they gain half a ton.
