W ELCOME to a world where dinosaurs have suddenly appeared on the streets of my hometown. Dont ask me how they got here. One day everything was normal, the next theyre everywhere. Big, scary, meat-eating ones; giant, long-necked ones; noisy, trumpeting ones; spiky armored ones and packs of dangerous little ones with sharp claws. There are dozens of them, each with its own special set of talents. Ive shown a few of them here so that you can see what its like living in a town where dinosaurs roam the streets.
Altirhinus
al-tih-RYE-nus
This strange-looking dinosaur has a nose that it can blow up like a balloon. It does this to attract female Altirhinuses. It can walk on either two or four legs and has thumb spikes to defend itself from predators.
