Herbivore teeth and diet
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/plant-eating-dinosaurs/Plant-eating dinosaurs dominated the landscape, far outnumbering their carnivorous counterparts. From fancy headgear and armour, to herding and enormous size, their extreme appearances and innovative survival strategies are unrivalled in the animal kingdom.

Bird-like dinosaurs
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/bird-like-dinosaurs/Many of the characteristics of early and modern birds appeared first in theropod dinosaurs. Feathers, wishbones, modified "flapping" forelimbs and hollow bones are found in the coelurosaurs - the theropod group that includes tyrannosaurs and dromaeosaurs.

The first birds
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/the-first-birds/The first birds had sharp teeth, long bony tails and claws on their hands. The clear distinction we see between living birds and other animals did not exist with early birds. In fact, they were more like small dinosaurs than they were like any bird today.

Dinosaurs getting around
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/dinosaurs-getting-around/Imagining dinosaurs in motion is to bring them truly to life. Mere fossils now become lumbering, bulky, fleet-footed, agile, four-legged, two-legged or even bird-like. How is this transformation possible? What techniques do we use to put muscles on bones and movement into skeletons?

Herbivorous heavyweights
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/the-dinosaur-giants-club/One group of plant-eaters grew to become the biggest land animals ever. These were the sauropods - impressive long-necked, four-legged giants.

Dinosaurs living together
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/dinosaurs-living-together/Did dinosaurs live on their own or in groups? There is good evidence that many did form social groups. Plant-eaters would have found safety in numbers, while predators may have hunted in packs and benefited from co-operation.

Dinosaur lifecycles: from go to woe
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/dinosaur-lifecycles/From birth to growth and death, the fossil record preserves fascinating hints about the lifecycle of a dinosaur.

Dinosaurs on the attack
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/dinosaurs-on-the-attack/The ability to overpower another animal requires a combination of strength, speed, balance and weaponry. Most theropods relied on such skills and assets to find food, although some appeared to have adapted to life as filter-feeders or plant-eaters.

Defence and signalling
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/life-among-the-plants/It sounds like a fancy dress party gone wrong: horns, dome-heads, crests, frills, noise, head-butting and rivalry. But they are really about using your head and some plant-eating dinosaurs excelled at it.
