Herrerasaurus was one of the first Theropods and lived during the mid-Triassic period, a time when dinosaurs were not yet the dominant land animals on Earth. These talons are used during hunting and combat to inflict deep and fatal wounds. In addition to problem-solving intelligence, one of Velociraptor’s defining features is an oversized, sickle-shaped talon on each foot. An incredibly intelligent and fleet of foot pack hunter, credited with initiating the ‘dinosaur renaissance’ during the 1960s where the image of dinosaurs as slow, clumsy, reptilian giants was superseded by an image of warm-blooded, fast moving animals. This 11 foot long dinosaur lived during the early Cretaceous Period, about 115– 108 million years ago. Because of their docile nature, they are free roaming, and are found roaming the park's grassland and temperate forest areas although they do like to visit the central field. We now know that it serves for display and for communication, allowing the animals to remain in contact over distance by amplifying their haunting, beautiful cries. Some believed it was a snorkel for when the animal was in water others felt that it was used in combat. Scientists were unsure of its function until today. The most stunning feature of the Parasaurolophus is the crest on its head. It is a herd animal feeding on the park’s rich vegetation. Parasaurolophus is a Hadrosaurid from approximately 76.5–73 million years ago. Inside contains all the Parks main Actractions!
