Lizard-Hipped And Bird-Hipped Dinosaurs
Because of intensive research scientists found out that the dinosaurs can be classified according to the position of their pelvic bones in lizzard-hipped dinosaurs and in bird-hipped dinosaurs.
Lizzard-hipped dinosaurs or Saurischia have a basin similar to the today living lizard.
Some examples of lizzard-hipped dinosaurs
- Barosaurus - heavy reptile - four-legged plant eater
- Carnotaurus - carnivorous bull - two-legged meat-eater
- Ceratosaurus - horned lizard - two-legged meat-eater
- Microraptor - small predator - two-legged meat-eater

Some examples of bird-hipped dinosaurs
- Avimimus - Bird imitator - two-legged omnivorous
- Ankylosaurus - stiffened lizard - four-legged plant eaters
- Centrosaurus - Sharp peak lizard - four-legged plant eater
- Parasaurolophus - Crested lizard - probably four-legged plant eaters
