PATCHI JUNIPER SCOWLER GORGAN

ALEX EDMONTO PARKSOSAURUS QUETZ

Curious and optimistic, Patchi is the hero of our movie. Patchi is a Pachyrhinosaurus. He is not the biggest or the toughest guy in the herd, but he uses his head and his heart to do the right thing. He survives some very dramatic situations on his way to becoming leader of the herd and to winning the affections of Juniper and even risks his own safety to save Juniper and Scowler, his brother.

She’s very pretty (for a Pachyrhinosaurus) and has a strong character. As a youngster, she shares adventures with Patchi, separated from both her family and the herd. She develops a real connection with Patchi, even though she can’t always show it. She really wishes she could ignore herd protocol and choose her own mate (Patchi), instead of having to be part of the herd leader’s harem.

Big and strong and very single-minded, Scowler is absolutely focused on becoming the new leader of the herd. He’s OK with his little brother, Patchi, but often forgets that when his goal is in sight. Whatever he may lack in smarts, he makes up for in courage.

Simply put, the villain of our movie. A smart, fast and terrifying Gorgosaurus, he’s always on the lookout for the next kill. He is like a super-charged T. rex, and will stop at nothing to feed his extended family. He is cunning and relentless, and uses precise tactics and strategies to round up the next meal. Patchi’s father was killed by a Gorgosaurus, so the looming threat of the Gorgon is very poignant for our hero.

A small bright bird with teeth, Alex (an Alexornis bird). In the movie, these birds have a symbiotic relationship with the Pachyrhinosaurus - they eat the ticks and other insects that bother them and in turn get a free meal and a safe place to perch. Alex becomes Patchi’s unlikely friend and ally and has a tendency to show up at the right place at the right time to nudge him in the right direction. Funny and maybe a bit sarcastic.

Duck-billed dinosaurs, gentle giants. They are vegetarians, biting off leaves and branches from shrubs and low-lying boughs using their horny jaws. The nostrils of Edmontosaurus were large and led into a huge, hollow nasal cavity. They might have been covered with loose skin that the animal could have fi lled with air and used to make loud bellowing sounds.

Half the height of a human (about 1m tall), Parksosaurus was a vegetarian with short and strongly built limbs, possibly for burrowing. It’s always on the look-out for a threat, but is quite a fast runner.

A group of fl ying reptiles that lived alongside the dinosaurs. In the Late Cretaceous, one group of pterosaurs, the Azhdarchids (Azhdarchs for short) dominates the skies over land. Many Azhdarchs have enormous wingspans and sharp beaks, which they use to peck at both crabs and Patchi alike. Though they soar over the prehistoric landscape, even they fall prey to the occasional voracious Gorgosaurus.

Pachyrhinosaurus was arhinoceros-like

dinosaur with horns, frill, bonyornaments and a beak.

Patchi, a Pachyrhinosaurus, is our guide to the Late Cretaceous, the prehistoric period during which our story takes place. We fall in love with him as a tiny hatchling and share his adventures and challenges as he grows to adulthood. He is not the biggest or the toughest guy in the herd, but he uses his head and his heart to do the right thing. He survives some very dramatic situations on his way to becoming leader of the herd and to winning the affections of Juniper. He’s not an aggressive guy by nature, but he will dig deep within himself and even risk his own safety to save Juniper or Scowler, his brother. He is the classic underdog hero, who fi nds his inner strength to prove his worth.

Herbivore

What’s in the nest

As a herbivore, Pachyrhinosaurus had strong, stubby, cheek teeth. These were packed tightly

together to form a single continuous cuttingsurface for slicing food into small pieces,

like a pair of prehistoric scissors.

Nest size: 0.7m (2.3ft) diameter

Half the size of a child’s paddlingpool (~150cm/59in).

Family Album

Quite the teeth

Pachyrhinosaurus is a member of theCeratopsidae family which includes all

quadrupedal, herbivorous dinosaurs with beaks, shearing teeth, elaborate horns and frills,

including Triceratops, Torosaurusand Styracosaurus.

Teeth Size/Length: 2-6cm (0.8-2in)

Pachyrhinosaurus used its battery of strong cheek teeth to chomp on low-lying tough

fi brous plants and its sharp beak forslicing vegetation.

Gorgosaurus had a massive skull on an S-shaped neck. Its

long tail counterbalanced its forward weight and

placed its centre

of gravity over its hips. Like all other tyrannosaurids, it had short forelimbs and relatively long hindlimbs.

Class: Dinosauria Family: Theropoda Tribe: Tyrannosauridae

A smart, fast and terrifying Gorgosaurus, he’s always on the lookout for the next kill. He is like a super-charged T. rex, and will stop at nothing to feed his extended family. He is cunning and relentless, and uses precise tactics and strategies to round up the next meal. Patchi’s father was killed by a Gorgosaurus, so the looming threat of the Gorgon is very poignant for our hero.

Terrifying Predator

What’s in the nest

Tyrannosaurids like Gorgosaurus are experts indelivering crushing bites to their prey.

They would have generated the strongest biteforces known.

Egg length: 10-15 cm (4-6in)

Compare to: The same size as a mango (average 13cm (5in)).

Family Album

Quite the teeth

Gorgosaurus is part of the theropod andtyrannosaurid dinosaur clans, these include

some of the large, bipedal, carnivorous dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus rex.

Gorgosaurus teeth were banana shaped butserrated like a carving knife – perfect for

sawing into flesh.

In Walking With Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie, we see what it was like for Patchi, a young dinosaur, to live amongst a herd and fi ght for survival when lost on his own. Camoufl age was important, as it helped him blend in with his surroundings and hide from deadly predators like the Gorgosaurus. In the picture below, colour in the sections by matching each number to the right colour. Watch out for the dinosaur to appear.

Help Patchi fi nd his way to the nest to protect his eggs before predators discover them.
