Different Types of Dinosaurs

Want to know about different types of dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs can be divided into different kinds - by name, species classification, by what they ate, and by when they lived. Or even by size.

Scientists divide dinosaurs by types - which they call 'classification'. On this page we take a look at those classes, and which dinosaurs fall into each.
