Community Centre Class | Dinosaurs 101 - Wednesday Morning
What a difference a couple of weeks made, Cutter was feeling a lot more relaxed and ready to get started on this week’s class, he was still slightly sunburned from last week’s trip but at least this week he could focus a lot more on the class.
Even though there was still the occasional glance and smile at Connor as he started the lesson, “this week we’re going to Ornithomimus,” he began, “the Ornithomimus was an ostrich like feathered dinosaur in the Cretaceous Period that has been found as fossils from Mongolia, Europe and North America,” he explained, “it is so like the ostrich in appearance that it’s name literally translates to bird mimic,” he smiled over at Connor for him to continue the lecture.
It really was amazing what a week relaxing on a tropical island could do- aside from giving a little twinge of lingering red to Connor's cheeks. At least it was sun and not he flush of embarrassment this week. He returned the smile and gave a nod as he glanced down at his notes quickly then started.
"The Ornithimimus from 125 million to 66 million years ago was a unique specifime among the dinosaurs of that period. Mature adults were about 3.5 metres (11.5 feet) long, and, although it was a theropod dinosaur, it was likely omnivorous, unlike most theropods we are familiar with such as T-Rex and Velociraptor," Connor noted and then continued. "The long strong legs and streamlined body and tail indicate the Ornithomimus was a speedy dino and could likey run and hunt smaller mammals and other reptiles and also flee from laerger predators." Connor looked over at Cutter when he finished.
“For the rest of the class, I’d like you to finish working on your worksheets,” Cutter continued, “and then for class next week, I’d like you to do a report on the Ornithomimus,”
