Ouranosaurus
Click here for more Ouranosaurus Pictures
Ouranosaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in the early
Cretaceous period,
about 115 to 100 million years ago. Its
fossils have been found in
Niger in Africa, and its name, which means
"brave monitor lizard" was chosen by the French paleontologist,
Philippe-Taquet in
1976.
Ouranosaurus was 23 feet (7 meters) long,
and probably weighed around 4 tons.
Ouranosaurus has long thick spines on its back and tail,
and for many years scientists believed that these supported
a large fin (sometimes also called "sail") that was covered with
skin, similar to the fin found on
Spinosaurus.
It was thought that this fin
was probably used for temperature
regulation: the animal could face it towards or away from the sun, depending
on whether it needed to heat up or cool down.
Close examination of Ouranosaurus however suggests that whatever was on
its back may have been quite different from the fin on
Spinosaurus.
In fact, many scientists now believe that the spines on Ouranosaurus back
are more likely to have supported a hump (similar to a modern bison's
hump) than a sail. If this was the case, the hump may perhaps have been
used to store food and water (like a camel's hump).
Ouranosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived from 115 to 100 million years ago

Safari Ltd Fantasy Collection – Werewolf – Realistic Hand Painted Toy Figurine Model - Quality Construction from Safe and BPA Free Materials - for Ages 3 and Up- Manufacturer: Safari Ltd
- Brand: Safari
- PartNumber: 804129
Details:Physical Description:- Size: 2.5 Inches by 5.4 Inches by 4.6 Inches
- Weight: 0.26 Pounds
Features:- THE TOP DOG - Among all legendary creatures of the night, the Werewolf perhaps reigns supreme. Not only can it terrorize the darkness with tooth and claw, but in human form, it can walk about during the day, with no one the wiser, waiting for nightfall and the chance to howl once again.
- A FEARSOME MAN - If this Werewolf looks human, it’s because it is. Or at least it was. While its legs and torso reveal distinctly human characteristics, the claws and head show the fearsome attributes of a wolf. There’s even a medical condition known as clinical lycanthropy, in which a person believes himself to be an animal. Perhaps there is more truth to werewolves than some suspect.
- MADE WITH INDUSTRY-LEADING STANDARDS - Like all Safari Ltd products, the figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages.
- REALISTIC APPEARANCE FOR MULTIPLE USES - Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it.
- PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS - Dark brown fur streaked with black gives this Werewolf a frighteningly realistic look. Bright red eyes complete the 4-inch-tall figure. Quality Construction from Safe and BPA Free Materials. Recommended for children ages 3+.
