Honestly, it still blows my mind that a massive carnivore once walked exactly where we live today. Finding terms like fossil and claw tucked into this grid brings a little of that wild ancient era right to the table. The word find prints on one page with the answer key on the next.

Frequently asked questions

Why do we usually just find fossil bones instead of the whole animal?

Soft parts like skin and muscle decay rapidly, leaving mostly the harder skeletal pieces behind to slowly turn into rock over time.

How can we tell if an extinct creature was a carnivore or herbivore?

Researchers look closely at the teeth, since sharp edges are meant for hunting meat while flat ones are better for grinding plants.
