 Brachiosaurus  
  1. Using the key to the scale in the top right hand corner of the diagram, i.e. 3.1m = 1 square, work out the approximate height (in metres) of all the creatures on the grid.
  2. Approximately how many times taller is Brachiosaurus than a Homo Sapien?
  3. Is the length of the blue whale > or < the height of Brachiosaurus?
  4. Rank the animals from smallest to largest, according to height.
  5. Write, in numerals and words, when did the Jurassic Period occur?
  6. Using the information on the Encephalization Quotient, name one dinosaur group with an EQ lower than Brachiosaurus.
  7. Using the information on the Encephalization Quotient, name one dinosaur group with an EQ greater than Brachiosaurus.
Tyrannosaurus Rex  
  
  1. Using the diagram, give the approximate length and height of T.rex.
  2. Approximately how many times taller is T.rex than a Homo Sapien?
