EXTINCT ANIMALS 



shown in Figs. 149 and 150, where the rhino- 

 ceros-Hke Triceratops and the huge crested 

 Stegosaurus are represented. Such crests and 

 horns are bizarre and grotesque even when 

 carried by^Httle living Hzards a few inches long, 



Fig. 150. — Probable appearance in life of the Jurassic Dinosaur 

 Stegosaurus. The hind leg alone is twice as tall as a well- 

 grown man. 



but it must be remembered that the Dinosaurs 

 drawn in Figs. 149 and 150 were as big in the 

 body as large elephants. 



A curious fact about these great Dinosaurs is 

 that they had, as compared with big living 

 reptiles such as the crocodiles, very tiny brains.
