Here is a list of dino facts
The pterodactyl
Not Dinosaurs.
They are not really dinosaurs, they flying reptiles but they are classified as the pterosaurs. Anyway they belong to the branch of the reptile family "But though pterosaurs lived among dinosaurs—and certainly looked like dinosaurs to the untrained eye—the two groups are not the same." late Triassic Period to the end of the Cretaceous Period, when they went extinct along with dinosaurs. Pterosaurs were carnivores, feeding mostly on fish and small animals. Many had hooked claws and sharp teeth that they used to grab their prey.
Variety in size.
The pterosaurs was huge, they had a wing span of 20 feet! They were the biggest flying creatures to ever live, the second biggest is Nemicolopterus, they are half the size of a pterosaurs. it would have likely had a mass of more than half a tonne and would have stood as tall as a giraffe. .The wingspan of these reptiles ranged from 2 to 11 metres (6.5 to 36 feet), which makes them the largest known flying animals
Diets.
The pterosaurs had a very weird diet depending on which specie they were, most were fish eaters while other pterosaurs actually hunted for other dinosaurs species The teeth of early pterosaurs indicate they fed on crunchy invertebrates like insects, their study shows. Over millions of years of evolution, though, pterosaurs shifted to feeding almost exclusively on meat and fish .Pterodactyls were carnivorous, or meat-eaters. Several species that lived along the ocean coasts had teeth which were well adapted for feeding on fish.Pterodactyls were carnivorous, or meat-eaters.

The T.Rex
Massive Size.
T. rex was one of the largest land predators ever.
It could reach lengths of up to 40 feet (12 meters).
Stand about 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall at the hips.
Powerful Size.
T. rex had one of the most powerful bites of any land animal, exerting up to 12,800 pounds of force. Its teeth, which could grow up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) long, were serrated and ideal for crushing bone.
Keen Sense's
T. rex had highly developed senses. Its large olfactory bulbs suggest an exceptional sense of smell, which would have been crucial for tracking prey and scavenging.
The Brachiosaurus
Size
The Brachiosaurus was one of the largest dinosaurs to have ever roamed the Earth, reaching lengths of up to 85 feet and towering heights of around 40 feet, making it taller than most giraffes.
Diet
Despite its enormous size, the Brachiosaurus was primarily a herbivore, feeding on a diet of ferns, cycads, and conifers. Its long neck allowed it to reach vegetation high up in trees, giving it a competitive advantage in the Late Jurassic ecosystem.
Habitat
Brachiosaurus likely inhabited floodplain environments, where vegetation was abundant and water sources were plentiful. Fossil evidence suggests that it roamed across what is now North America, with discoveries made in states like Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.
