What the random dinosaur generator picks
Each click of Send picks a real dinosaur at random and gives you a short profile: the name and what it means, its group and diet, the period it lived in, a rough length and weight, where its fossils were found and one fun fact. It mixes famous names with lesser-known ones, so you meet dinosaurs you may not have heard of.
Filter by diet, period or type
Ask for a random plant-eater, a meat-eater from the Cretaceous, a sauropod, an armored dinosaur or one found in a certain part of the world. You can also ask for several at once, for a quiz round or a class activity, and say who it is for so the wording fits a young child or an adult.
Ideas for using a random dinosaur
Pick a dinosaur to draw for art practice, start a classroom report, make a dinosaur trivia night, choose a dinosaur for a story or game character, or just learn something new each day. Sizes and dates are rough estimates from fossils, so the profile says when numbers vary between sources.
