Daspletosaurus

Ever since I've seen the Dinosaur Train episode "My Great Big Stomping Dinosaur Feet," I've been interested in Daspletosaurus.

My favorite part is the song they sing, which I cannot find video for. It's an awesome song about having big dinosaur feet.

I did find a video of Daphne Daspletosaurus and Buddy comparing features.


Dr. Scott talks about Daspletosaurus


Pronunciation: dass-PLEE-tuh-SAWR-us

Notes: Discovered in Alberta, Canada, Daspletosaurus was a contemporary of Albertosaurus. A marginally smaller, close relative of Tyrannosaurus, Daspletosaurus' possessed the typical tyrannosaurid two-fingered hands, but its powerful jaws were equipped with larger (although fewer) teeth than Tyrannosaurus. It is conjectured that the heavily-built Daspletosaurus preyed upon ceratopsians.
