WHEN you think of dinosaurs, you tend to imagine them as enormous creatures, but some were quite small.

Most of them were between 7,5m and 10,5m and weighed between five and 10 tons.

Some were as big as rhinos, others as small as chicken. The biggest included the Tyrannosaurus, a meat-eater that stood up to 6m tall and weighed about eight tons. The giant of the dinosaur family was the Brachiosaurus that weighed more than 50 tons and stood higher than a three-storey building. - bigsiteofamazingfacts.com; livescience.com; sciencedaily.com
