Herbivore

Easily recognised thanks to its blunt beak and the small horn on its forehead (its name directly translates into English as ‘small-horned’), Microceratus is an herbivorous dinosaur that lived around 65-85 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. This genus walks on two legs and grows up to 80 centimetres in length - making it one of the smallest dinosaurs the world has seen.

The giant herbivorous sauropod Ankylodocus is a genetically engineered hybrid dinosaur that combines the base genomes of Ankylosaur and Diplodocus. Its appearance borrows notable characteristics from each of its parent genera – its long neck strongly resembles Diplodocus, while it takes the protective spikes on its body from Ankylosaurus.

Stegoceratops is a hybrid dinosaur designed by world-renowned geneticist Dr. Henry Wu, and can grow up to 12 metres in length and four tonnes in weight. This genus is comprised primarily of the DNA of Stegosaurus and Triceratops, with three large horns on its head and solid plates that run the length of its spine. It also contains the DNA of a beetle, providing the genus with a thick, tough armour that protects it from predators.

Notable for its short legs and the two large tusk-like teeth protruding from either side of its mouth, the dicynodont Lystrosaurus is an herbivorous therapsid that existed during the late Permian and early Triassic periods, approximately 250 million years ago. In fact, at one stage Lystrosaurus made up around 95% of all land vertebrates, having survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event that destroyed the majority of all life on earth.

Alamosaurus is one of the largest dinosaurs known to have existed, with adults growing to a length of 20-25m and weighing up to 80 tonnes. Native to North America during the late Cretaceous period, Alamosaurus is an herbivorous sauropod with armoured spikes on its back that protect it from predator attacks.

Therizinosaurus is a genus of herbivorous dinosaur from the therizinosaurid family that lived in Asia during the late Cretaceous period and can grow to a weight of more than 4,000kg. This genus' name translates to 'Scythe lizard', in reference to its large claws at over 50cm, Therizinosaurus is believed to have had the longest claws of any animal in existence.

Wuerhosaurus is a large plant-eating dinosaur from the stegosaurid family, and first existed during the Early Cretaceous period in Asia. Wuerhosaurus can grow to more than 8m in length and weighs in excess of four tonnes, partly due to the thick, bony plates that protect its body from predators – and it also has a spiked tail that help it to defend itself when under attack.

The herbivorous ankylosaurid Minmi lived around 120m years ago during the Early Cretaceous period and can grow to a length of over 3m. Minmi is notable for its long tail and the horizontal armour plates that cover its body, protecting it from attacks by predators, while its legs are unusually long for a dinosaur from the Ankylosauria family, allowing it to run quickly.

Notable for its distinctive duck-billed snout and striking head crest, Tsintaosaurus is an herbivorous hadrosaurid that can grow up to 10m in length and weigh in excess of three tonnes. Despite its relatively large size, Tsintaosaurus was capable of walking on four legs or two and could reach high speeds when fleeing from predators. Its name comes from the location of its discovery, Qingdao in China.

Torosaurus is notable for having one of the largest skulls the world has ever seen, measuring up to 2.7m in length. Fossil remains have shown that the frill on its skull contained two large holes, lending the genus its name, which translates to ‘perforated lizard’. Torosaurus is an herbivorous dinosaur and can weigh up to six tonnes, requiring a huge amount of vegetation every day for sustenance.
