ago,thousands of differentdinosaurs roamed Earth.Most dinosaurs were peacefulplant-eaters.Some,however,were ferocious,meat-eatingpredators.This book presents our Top 10 most dangerousdinosaurs.They were rated on a scale of one to ten in the  \nfollowing categories:  \nVELOCIRAPTOR  \nBODY MR55  \nSize was importantfor a meat-eatingdinosaur.Thebigger the dinosaur,the bigger theprey it could attack.  \nVelociraptor had speed,power,and deadly teeth.Only its small sizeprevents it from being the overall winner of our Top 10 contest.Velociraptor lived in Asia towards the end of the Cretaceous perioc  \n)  \nBODY MASS  \nVelociraptor was about the sizeof a turkey.It weighedbetween 44-55pounds (20-25 kg)JAWThe dinosaur hadabout 80 teeth forripping and tearingflesh.Narrow jaws allowedVelociraptor to push itshead inside the carcassof its victim.  \nA heavy dinosaur also found it easierto overpower its prey.We gave ourdinosaurs a score based on their sizeand weight.We also considered theaverage size of their prey.  \nPOWER  \nHigh speed isimportant for a hunter.Yet,the ability tochange directioneasily and come toa quick stop is alsoimportant.OurX  \nMDBILITY  \nMOBILITY  \nVelociraptor was a fast bipedadinosaur.Its name means \"fast thief.  \ndinosaur predators were given pointsfor their speed,acceleration,andagility.Extra points were awardedfor good jumping skills.  \n8  \nAW PIWER  \nMost dinosaur predatorsused their jaws for killing.We based our score onthe size and strength ofthe jaws.We also tookinto account thenumber,length,and  \nsharpness of the teeth.The few dinosaursthat also had deadly claws were awardedbonus points.  \nFRICHT  \nSome meat-eatingdinosaurs wereas big as a bus.Any predator thatsize is scary.Surprisingly,however,the  \nFRCTDR  \nlargest dinosaurs werenot always the most frightening  \nHUNTINC  \nSome dinosaurshunted in packs,while otherslived and huntedalone.Somedinosaurswaited in  \n5KILL5
