Dinosaurs world

This is the list of all dinosaurs (and spoken facts) kids will have to discover in this iPad / iPhone game.

Special thanks to Raul Lunia (Dinoraul) for his great 3D dinosaurs models!

Bambiraptor It was a child that found the first skeleton of a Bambiraptor and he named it Bambi, after the cartoon! The Bambiraptor is one of the smallest dinosaurs and could run very quickly to catch its prey.

Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus means "lizard with arms" because its two front legs are much bigger than its two hind legs. The Brachiosaurus is as tall as a 5-storey building.

Carnotaurus Carnotaurus means "meat-eating bull" because it has two small horns on its head. The Carnotaurus has such small front legs that it probably did not use them.

Citipati Citipati means "funeral pyre lord" in Mongol. It is not yet known whether the Citipati was a bird or a dinosaur.

Corythosaurus Corythosaurus means "helmet lizard". The Corythosaurus used to live in herds and used to escape by running away on its hind legs.

Dimetrodon Dimetrodon means "two measures of teeth". The Dimetrodon is a reptile which lived before the dinosaurs and which was very ferocious.

Elasmosaurus Elasmosaurus means "lizard with thin plates". The Elasmosaurus had a very long neck with a very small head and fed on fish.

Euoplocephalus Euoplocephalus means "well-armoured head". In order to defend itself, the Euoplocephalus used to swing its tail like a hammer among its attackers' legs.

Gallimimus Gallimimus means "chicken or rooster mimic". The Gallimimus is also called the "ostrich dinosaur" because of its long legs which made it the fastest dinosaur.

Iguanodon Iguanodon means "iguana's tooth". With its large beak, the Iguanodon could cut the plants it fed on.

Lesothosaurus Lesothosaurus means "lizard from Lesotho", the name of the African country where it was found. The Lesothosaurus used to walk upright and could run very quickly to escape its predators.

Microraptor Microraptor means "little flyer". The Microraptor is the smallest known dinosaur and the only one able to fly.

Pachycephalosaurus Pachycephalosaurus means "thick-headed lizard". With its thick skull, the Pachycephalosaurus used to fight in the same way as rams, by pushing with its head.

Parasaurolophus Parasaurolophus means "near-crested lizard". The long tube on the head of the Parasaurolophus allowed it to make a sound similar to that of a trombone.

Plateosaurus Plateosaurus means "flat lizard". The Plateosaurus used to walk on four feet, but could stand upright to eat the leaves on the highest branches.

Protoceratops Protoceratops means "first horned face". The size of a sheep, the Protoceratops lived in herds and had a very powerful beak for cutting its food.

Pteranodon Pteranodon means "toothless wing". Despite its huge size, the Pteranodon did not weigh much more than a child because its bones were hollow.

Sauropelta Sauropelta means "lizard shield". Very large, the Sauropelta was unable to run: when in danger, it must have lain down on its stomach, since its back was protected with its thick hide and long spikes.

Spinosaurus Spinosaurus means "spine lizard" because its back comprised a huge crest of spines. The mouth of the Spinosaurus was similar to that of a crocodile and it probably ate mainly fish.

Stegosaurus Stegosaurus means "roof lizard" because, originally, it was thought that the plates on its back were horizontal and formed a sort of roof. The long spikes at the tip of its tail allowed it to defend itself.

Styracosaurus Styracosaurus means "spiked lizard". The very long horn on the Styracosaurus's nose and the spikes around its neck allowed it to defend itself.

Triceratops Triceratops means "face with 3 horns". Even the Tyrranosaurus did not dare to attack the Triceratops and its huge horns face on.

Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus means "tyrant lizard" because it was the fiercest predator at that time. The Tyrannosaurus is also called T-Rex, namely "the king of the tyrants".

Velociraptor Velociraptor means "Fast flyer". Velociraptors used to form groups to attack dinosaurs much larger than them.

Animals of South America

This is the list of all animals of South America (and spoken facts) kids will have to discover in the app.

Llama When it is not happy the llama spits! The llama can be shorn like a sheep to use its hair.

Condor The condor is one of the largest birds and can fly very high up in the sky. The condor is a carrion feeder: it does not hunt, but eats the carcasses of dead animals.

Spectacled Bear The spectacled bear owes its name to the light marks around its eyes. The spectacled bear can spend several days in the same tree where it builds a nest in the branches.

Chinchilla The chinchilla can jump like a kangaroo. The chinchilla's anti-slip pads enable it to climb rocks at high speed.

Giant Anteater The giant anteater slides its long nose into anthills and catches ants with its sticky tongue. When it sleeps, the giant anteater covers itself with its bushy tail.

Capybara The capybara is a very good swimmer and it can also dive down to eat at the bottom of the water. When the capybara is scared, it dives into the water and swims away.

Armadillo To defend itself, the armadillo rolls itself into a ball: that way it is completely protected by its shell. The armadillo digs a burrow to make its nest.

Maned Wolf With the bottom of its legs completely black, it looks like the maned wolf is wearing socks! The maned wolf eats small animals and lots of fruit.

Iguana The spines on the iguana's back protect it from its predators. The iguana is a good swimmer and a good climber. But it also runs very fast.

Caiman The caiman feeds on crabs, snails and fish. The caiman can be attacked by the jaguar or the anaconda.

Mara The mara looks like a very large hare. The mara runs very quickly thanks to its long hind legs.

Rhea The rhea is very fast and runs in a zigzag to escape. The rhea is a flightless bird: it uses its wings to change direction when it runs.

Anaconda The anaconda is the largest snake in the world. The anaconda spends most of its time in the water: it is a very good swimmer.

Jaguar The jaguar is able to pierce a turtle's shell with its teeth. The jaguar hunts just as well in the water as on dry land. It then takes its prey into a tree to eat it.

Toucan The toucan has a large beak, but it is very light. The toucan's beak allows it to catch hold of fruit, and also helps it to avoid getting too hot.

Macaw With its large beak, the macaw finds it easy to break the shell of the nuts which it feeds on. The macaw is the largest parrot there is, and it comes in many different colours: red, yellow, green and even blue.

Coati The coati is inquisitive: it can sometimes be found searching through dustbins! The coati uses its long nose to search the ground for insects.

Lion Tamarin The lion tamarin uses its fingers to search through trees looking for the insects it feeds on. The lion tamarin's long coat makes it look like it has a mane, just like a lion!

Ocelot The ocelot is a wild cat that hunts on the ground at night time and sleeps in the trees in the daytime. The ocelot sleeps with its head between its front paws, the same as a dog!

Amazon River Dolphin The Amazon river dolphin lives in the rivers and can make its way between trees during floods. The Amazon river dolphin is also called the pink dolphin.

Sloth The sloth hangs upside down in the trees. The sloth moves very slowly so as not to be seen by predators.

Red-eyed Treefrog The red-eyed treefrog lives mainly in the trees. The colours of the red-eyed treefrog allow it to hide in the leaves.

Scarlet Ibis The scarlet ibis's colour comes from the prawns and crabs it eats. The scarlet ibis rests in groups in the treetops.

Spider Monkey The spider monkey can swing by its tail. When it is threatened, the spider monkey defends itself by throwing branches.
