SPECIES INFO
Carnosaurus is a group of the following four families:
Megalosauridae
Tyrannnosauridae
Spinosauridae
Deinocheiridae
This illustration is representational of all four families.Two-legged Walking Dinosaurs (Sub-Order Theropoda) contain the Carnosaurs such as Tyrannus rex.
Reptile Hipped Dinosaurs (Order Saurischia) contain many of the dinosaurs with which the general public is familiar. These are usually divided into two different sub-orders. Theropoda (T. Rex) were dinosaurs that walked on two hind legs. The Sauropoda (Brontosaurus) walked on all four legs. All members of this order are extinct.
Reptiles (Class Reptilia) are an ancient group of scaled chordates. These scales may be permanently joined, as in the turtles, or flexible, as in the snakes. Reptiles are land-based. Their eggs are laid on land and the young are air breathing.
In the Great Big Book of Snakes and Reptiles published in 2014, they noted that there are more than 7,000 species of reptiles alive today.
Backboned Animals (Phylum Chordata) are the most advanced group of animals on earth. These animals are characterized by having a spinal cord or backbone. Most members have a clearly defined brain that controls the organism through a spinal cord. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals are in this phylum.
Currently, some taxonomists believe that the fish should be divided into two groups (sharks and regular fishes) and that there are some other primitive groups in the phylum such as hagfish or lampreys.
Animal Kingdom contains numerous organisms that feed on other animals or plants. Included in the animal kingdom are the lower marine invertebrates such as sponges and corals, the jointed legged animals such as insects and spiders, and the backboned animals such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
