They were divided into flesh eaters and plant eaters. Some of them walked on to hind legs, while others walk on all fours. Most species had scaly skins, but some had prominent bone plates on the body or even had heavily armored heads. The origin of dinosaurs has been attributed to a small reptile known as a "pseudosuchia" or a kind of "false crocodile". Often, such creatures were only 2 feet long and half of their bodies were made up by the tail alone. The larger dinosaurs are said to have evolved from one or more of these little false crocodiles. Even the flying reptiles, or pterodactyls, have been connected to the small reptiles. Famous Flesh-Eating DinosaursThe flesh eating dinosaurs were found to have sharp teeth with edges filed like those on a saw. These dinosaurs usually ran on their hind legs to catch prey, with their bodies bent forward and their tails outstretched in order to keep their balance. Their feet usually had three or more toes, but only left three toe imprints on the ground when they ran. Some of these footprints of even been mistaken for those of prehistoric birds, but they are generally deeper and larger.Records: 211-240 from 1073
