How to Differentiate a Male Dinosaur From a Female Dinosaur
Pauline Go asked:
In the animal kingdom you can differentiate an adult male from an adult female through sexual dimorphism. This means that there is a difference in sizes and appearances of the two genders. For instance, in some species of birds, the females are larger than males while in others the males have a colorful plumage compared to a female.
When it comes to sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs, there is very little evidence to go by. The main reason for this is paleontologists have not been able to find sufficient fossils to make conclusions and bones are just not enough to chart out sexual characteristics. However, based on certain findings the following was concluded as a way to differentiate male dinosaurs from female dinosaurs.
A female dinosaur had larger hips than a male dinosaur. This is evident from many of the fossils that have been found, particularly those of large dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex. These dinosaurs laid large eggs and therefore, they would need a hip shaped in a way that would facilitate the passage of the eggs. In addition, when it comes to a T-Rex, paleontologists agree that a female would have been larger in size than a male. This means that the females actually competed with each other to mate with the available males.
From the numerous fossils of Protoceratops, paleontologists have reached a conclusion that a male had elaborate frills on the back of its heads. This frill was lacking in females, hence, it was concluded that it was used for mating displays.
However, in many species paleontologists have not been able to discern a distinct sexual dimorphism making their task all the more harder to figure out whether the fossils belonged to a male or female. Until more evidence is found, researchers will be hard pressed to provide sexual differences between male and female dinosaurs.

Preschool Crafts – Dinosaur, Eggs, And Elephant Crafts To Teach The Letters "D" And "E"
Mary Robinson asked:
Get Crafty!
One of the best parts of a preschooler’s day is arts and crafts time. Preschool crafts allow children an opportunity to express their individuality and creativity as well as teaching discipline, basic color theory, and fine motor skills. Since the possibilities are nearly endless where preschool craft are concerned, especially when approaching a topic as broad as the alphabet, here are a few simple ideas for the letters D and E.
When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth…
Children are fascinated by the idea of gigantic, hulking beasts called dinosaurs roaming the earth before humans even existed. This provides a wealth of crafting possibilities, such as this Dinosaur Travel Book.
Each child is given the task of creating at least 3 pictures of where they would go and what they would do if they were a dinosaur. Encourage children to depict many different kinds of dinosaurs, and show them pictures of dinosaurs to help get the creative juices flowing.
Children may use whatever artistic means are at their disposal, from crayons to markers to finger paint. After their pictures are completed, punch three holes in the side of each picture and join the pictures with string to form a book.
Since fossils are the only clue as to how the dinosaurs lived, try this craft called Dinosaur Skeletons. This craft requires construction paper, dried pasta, popsicles sticks, and glue. Give each child a piece of construction paper and a selection of pasta and popsicle sticks to recreate their dinosaur skeleton. Once they are satisfied with the skeleton, they can glue it to the construction paper and decorate it with markers or crayons.
Fresh as a Daisy
Next, here’s a craft that requires paper plates, construction paper, paint and glue. Children will be creating daisies using the paper plates as the centers. To begin, have the children paint the paper plates yellow. Next, have them trace the petals onto pieces of construction paper. Each child will need between 8 and 12 petals to complete their flower. After all the petals are cut out, glue or staple them to the edges of the paper plate.
Hatching Eggs and Fancy Elephants
This craft, called “What’s in an Egg” has children use their imaginations to decide what they wish could hatch out of an egg. Once they’ve come up with a good idea, they are to draw a picture of it on a piece of construction paper. Try to keep the drawings fairly small as they’ll be placed into plastic eggs. Children can go around the room and show others what hatches out of their eggs.
Children love dressing up and wearing masks, so why not let them create their own? Here’s a quick and easy way to create elephant masks using only construction paper, toilet paper tubes, and paper plates. To begin, children will paint their paper plates gray and cut them in half to make the ears. Next, cut the construction paper in half and staple it together, forming a band that will fit on a child’s forehead. Now, staple the ears to the side of the band. Finally, to make the truck, paint the toilet paper tubes gray, cut them in half, and staple them to the top of the band to resemble the elephant’s trunk.
These preschool crafts provide a stepping stone for you to use to spark your imagination in teaching any of the letters of the alphabet or teaching theme units.

D-REX Interactive Dinosaur
Michael Addison asked:
No longer are dinosaurs only found in museums or the movies – these days there is a very good chance that you’ll find one in your very own home! Dinosaur toys are hot! They’re also a lot of fun and they give children the chance to let their imaginations run wild! Considering how many museums have dinosaur fossils as the center piece to their collections, and how many dinosaur cartoons, movies and books there are about dinosaurs, it was only a matter of time before realistic dinosaur toys would be created and available for children everywhere to play with. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is an amazing piece of technology, but more than that – it’s an incredibly advanced toy that will give your child many hours of fun and entertainment.
With a fierce facial expression and motorized robotic legs that actually enable D-Rex to walk, this isn’t simply a stuffed dinosaur toy that sits still on a bed or couch. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is state of the art, advanced fun. In fact, some critics and initial users have said that the D-Rex is actually the “ultimate pet” – and they aren’t too far from the truth! However, different from many electronic “pets”, the D-Rex is a bit more fearsome looking and may be a little too scary for very young children. The recommended age for the D-Rex is actually between 6 and 15 years of age.
More than just a title, the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is truly interactive. With the built-in ability to respond to both touch and voice signals, this dinosaur will take your child’s dinosaur playtime adventures to a whole other level! It is powered by a set of 4 size “C” batters that are in fact included when you purchase the toy, and then there is an additional 2 “AA” batteries that are needed which are not included. Of course, you’ll want to have another set of batteries as backup.
More than other electronic toys in this genre, D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is projected to be the item to purchase during this year’s holiday season. It will be a very sought after gift by many parents looking to provide their children with a truly unique and educational toy. With advanced robotics and interactive software, the D-Rex is said to present a rather independent personality that is actually quite loyal to its owner. Use this dinosaur as a guard dog, and it will roar as it walks the perimeter, making sure to let intruders know that it’s on patrol!
Another innovation included in the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is its reptilian skin that actually feels like reptilian skin. Other toys of this nature don’t replicate the realistic rough and leathery skin of dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago. Instead they’ll use a soft cloth outer covering that essentially turns their dinosaurs into stuffed animals. Make no mistake – the D-Rex isn’t a soft and cuddly toy. It’s a vicious and fierce companion and friend! Standing 14 inches tall, 9 inches wide and 21 inches long, he’s a formidable miniature dinosaur.
Obviously the original T-Rex that lived millions of years ago and ruled the dinosaurs was many times larger than the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur. However the D-Rex makes up for his comparatively small stature with a protective disposition and downright raging scowl. Couple this with the fact that he is actually able to respond to both motions and sounds and you have the most realistic toy dinosaur available on the market to date. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is menacing, intimidating, and pure fun on a number of different levels. Smaller children may not be able to handle how fierce this dinosaur truly is!

Dinosaurs, Fossils, and Paleontologists as a Fun Kid Dinosaur Activity
Nancy Johnson asked:
What child does not love dinosaurs? I believe kids are fascinated with dinosaurs because they lived millions of years ago, they come in all sizes, and have really cool names! The most popular are the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-rex), Brontosaurus, and Stegosaurs. There are actually hundreds more, and scientists are finding evidence of more dinosaurs all the time. A kid dinosaur activity could include the study of fossils.
Scientists learn about dinosaurs by finding and studying fossils. These scientists are called Paleontologists (anyone remember Ross from Friends?). People began discovering dinosaur fossils as early as the 1700s. Dinosaur fossils take the form of bones, eggs, and footprints impressions in rock. A fossil is the record or remains of a living thing that has lived in the past. Fossil prints are preserved when the soft mud in which they are made forms into stone.
This kid dinosaur activity includes making your own fossil by making a mold with plaster of Paris and assorted leaves, sticks or shells. Use disposable buckets or dishpans for mixing the plaster of Paris and water. To make your own fossil you will need:
4 C plaster of Paris 2

Is there a religion that seriously attempts to explain why dinosaurs ruled the Earth for 250 million years?
TerryBanto asked:
Meanwhile, humans have only been on the planet for about a million years. Some experts think a lot less than a million. But regardless…why doesn’t the Bible mention dinosaurs and prehistoric times with any degree of scientific accuracy? Does anyone think that perhaps God spent a long time tinkering with dinosaurs, trying to give them all the unique and special qualities that sets humans apart?
