Types of DinosaursThere were many different kinds of dinosaurs.
The smallest types was as chicken, and the largest over 100 feet (30 metres) long.
Some types of dinosaurs ate only meat ("carnivores"), some ate only plants ("herbivores"), and some ate both plants and meats ("omnivores").
Just like modern animals, the different types of dinosaurs were related. Biologists use the terms "order", "family", "genus" and "species" to indicate how closely different types of animals are related. A dinosaur which is the same species as another dinosaur is of the exact same type, whereas two dinosaurs which are of the same genus are closely related but of different types, and two dinosaurs of the same family are a bit more distantly related and so on. The chart below shows some of the different types of dinosaurs (divided into herbivores, carnivores and omnivores). In most cases, the chart shows a genus or family of dinosaur, although in some cases a single species may be indicated.
