Metriacanthosaurus is a huge Cretaceous period predator with crocodile-jaws and neural spines that form a sail. Its name means "medium spine lizard".
Microceratus is a herbivore which habitat was North America and Asia. It has a frilled-shape head andd stands on its two feet.
Pteranodon is also a flying reptile meaning it is not a dinosaur but is closely related to this diverse group of animals. It has a very long wing span. Its head had a crest and it had no teeth.
Suchomimus was also mentioned in Jurassic Park III. Like Baryonyx, the dinosaur was also mistaken to be the primary antagonist in the said film. It also had a two-foot-high sail on its lower back, a snout that measured up to 4 ft. In length and huge, foot-long thumb claws. Its name means "crocodile mimic".
