The Brachiosaurus
Say: BRACK-ee-uh-SAW-ruhs
Dinosaur Plod! is the SLOW dinosaur. She is a tall, pink Brachiosaurus with a very long neck. She is very slow and “plods’ along, taking her time to get where she is going. Her head is so far from the ground that she struggles to see what her feet are doing. Her greatest fear is to step on one of her smaller dinosaur friends so she moves very carefully. Whilst she might not see what is on the ground, she can see for miles as she is so tall which fascinates Dinosaur Squeak!

The Iguanodon

DINOSAUR THUD!
The Carnotaurus
Say: Kar-noh-TORE-us
Dinosaur Thud! is the MEAN dinosaur. He is a grey Carnotaurus with two big horns on his head. He is a bully and thinks it is funny to chase the smaller dinosaurs. He is not a thinker and uses his size rather than his brain. He thinks that being big and strong is all that matters.

DINOSAUR STOMP!
The Triceratops

She is always thinking that something bad is going to happen. She has a nest of eggs and is very protective of them.
