Just another silly test, one of the more creative ones perhaps, goes along the lines of which dinosaur are you?

I'm a Troodon,

Current research suggests that Troodon was a small and speedy carnivorous creature.
Troodon had an unusually large brain for a dinosaur, compared to the size of its body. Its teeth were also out of the ordinary for a meat eater, with bumps along the side like a plant-eating dinosaur. This hints that Trood on wasn't a fussy eater and may have munched on insects, eggs and plants as well as meat.

Giganotosaurus

Current research suggests that Gigantosaurus was a large, slow moving, social, carnivorous creature...according to your answers so are you!

The largest known carnivorous dinosaur was only discovered recently. Its fossil was unearthed in Argentina in 1994, and 70 per cent of the skeleton has now been found. It is not closely related to the most famous of the large carnivorous dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus.

I am a Struthiomimus:

Current research suggests that Struthiomimus was a fast moving herbivorous creature of average size...according to your answers so are you!

Struthiomimus was built for speed, with long muscular hind legs and a stiff tail so it could balance and make quick turns. It didn't have any teeth though. Scientists think that it may have eaten leaves and fruits, collecting them with a horny beak, much like a turtles.

Current research suggests that Cryolophosaurus was a medium-sized, social, carnivorous creature...according to your answers so are you!

Cryolophosaurus was the first meat-eating dinosaur fossil discovered in Antarctica . Although it's a frozen land nowadays, Antarctica wasn't always covered in ice. When dinosaurs were alive the world was mostly a lot warmer.

Antarctica itself was further north than it is today, which meant it was nearer the equator and so less icy-cold. All sorts of plants and animals flourished there.

Dilophosaurus

Current research suggests that Dilophosaurus was a medium-sized, independant, carnivorous creature...according to your answers so are you!

The Dilophosaurus had two flat semi-circular crests on its snout. These may have been used for mating displays. In the movies, these dinosaurs spit poison, but there isn't actually any fossil evidence to suggest they could do this.

I really like mine, I love birds so it was rather fitting.

Archaeopteryx

Current research suggests that Archaeopteryx was a small, moderately fast moving and carnivorous... according to your answers so are you!

Archaeopteryx, the oldest known and most primitive bird that we know of. This dinosaur combines features found in birds (a wishbone, feathers and a backward-facing pubis bone in the hips) with features found in reptiles but lost in modern birds (teeth, clawed fingers and a long bony tail).

You are an...Ankylosaurus

Current research suggests that Ankylosaurus was a medium sized independant herbivorous creature of average speed... according to your answers so are you!

Ankylosaurus was armour-plated, with rows of large, flat bony plates across its body and a wide, heavily armoured skull. Its lower tail bones were fused together, so its tail worked as a giant club. When it swung this 'club' from side to side, it was just the right height to do some damage to the legs of menaces like the Tyrannosaurus.

Iguanodon

Current research suggests that Iguanadon was a medium sized social herbivorous creature of average speed ...according to your answers so are you!

Fossils of this very abundant dinosaur have been found all over the world. The Iguanodon is proof that fossils can be a tricky puzzle to solve. When nineteenth-century century natural historian Richard Owen first described this dinosaur, he thought the spike that we now know forms part of the thumb was part of the Iguanodon's nose!
