A salmagundi of dinosaurs.

Four more dinosaurs painted today.

Cetiosaurus was a sauropod that lived in the Jurassic period and inhabited Africa and Europe. A quadrupedal, long-necked, small-headed herbivore. It had a shorter tail and neck than most sauropods. The forelimbs on the other hand, were relatively long.

The mouth of this dinosaur resembled a crocodile’s, with a long, narrow snout filled with sharp teeth for gripping slippery prey. It had a large claw, about 31cm long, likely on its thumb, adapted for catching fish. Baryonyx may have crouched on riverbanks to spot fish or waded into shallow waters to hook them with its claws, thriving as both a hunter and scavenger.

Dimetrodon was a pelycosaur, a type of synapsid that lived during the Early Permian period. It was a large meat-eater known for a distinctive sail on its back. Although often confused with dinosaurs, it existed long before them and is more closely related to modern mammals.

Mamenchisaurus is a unique long-necked dinosaur because it has the longest neck of any creature ever, measuring 18 meters (60 feet) long—longer than a school bus. It also had a long tail and stout legs like other dinosaurs in its family.

Some more dinosaurs tomorrow

  1. Cool! Who doesn’t like dinosaurs? I had to look a few of these up! Also salmagundi – I don’t think I have a large enough plate for a mixed salad including cooked dinosaur! 😎
