Dino DessertPennsylvania Academic Standard: Science 3.3.4 D
The Dino Dessert may be a real treat for us, but if the dinosaurs were alive today, some of them wouldn't find it so appealing. In fact, some dinosaurs would much rather eat you!
See if you can match the description of a type of dinosaur with the diet it ate.

Answers: Show/Hide
B - Carnivorous
C - Herbivorous
A - Omnivorous
Can you name both an extinct and a living animal that fits into each category?
An interesting Dinosaur fact: Stones called gastroliths have been discovered alongside dinosaur fossils. The dinosaurs actually swallowed the stones to help them grind the food in their stomachs. The stones eventually became worn smooth after years of tumbling around inside the dinosaur's stomach, grinding up tough leaves and twigs. Can you name any animals alive today that swallow stones to help digest their food?
