Troodon
Troodons were amazing
creatures that
became extinct 65 million years ago.
Troodon was a small bird-like dinosaur
only 2.4 metres long and weighed up to 50
kgs. It was shorter than humans! Troodon was a meat-
eating dinosaur that used its sharp claws and teeth to kill
other animals. It had strong legs and ran very fast. Troodon
had the best vision of all other dinosaurs. It had large eyes
and it could spot its prey more easily than any other
dinosaur. It also had a big brain for its size and was one of
the smartest dinosaurs.
Like most dinosaurs, Troodons laid eggs and sat on them to
keep them warm, just like birds do today. However, the
young Troodon left the nest very quickly like crocodiles.
Troodons were very dangerous dinosaurs and excellent
hunters. The reason they disappeared is still a mystery.
