The text
There were many different kinds of
dinosaurs and they were all different sizes.
Some ate meat and others ate plants.
Most dinosaurs had four legs, but some
Had two small front ones, like arms.
This made it easier for dinosaurs to
catch and kill animals.
This dinosaur is called Diplodocus and it
weighed the same as five elephants.
It couldnt run fast. You can see in the picture
it had a very long neck so that
it could eat leaves at the top of trees. It didnt
eat meat at all.
Scientists believe that the Diplodocus used its
tail to fight.
