Dinosaur Dressing Up

With costumes for 3 years to age 9 and with very low prices plus subsidised postage, Everything Dinosaur can take the “fear” out of shopping for suitable Halloween fare. When it comes to the Dinosauria, most dinosaur fans would happily tell you, usually in gory detail, that the meat-eaters were particularly nasty. Certainly, the big theropods would have been best avoided if they were around today, however, even the smaller dromaeosaurids (the “raptors”), especially if they were pack-hunters, would have been creatures that you would not have liked to meet on a dark and stormy night.

Even the Smaller Meat-eating Dinosaurs Would Have Been Quite Frightening

Fearsome Flying Pterosaurs – More Scary than Bats

Bats (Order Chiroptera), are associated with Halloween. These are the only mammals that are capable of powered flight. Of the 1,200 or so, species of bat described, ten-times the number of pterosaur species described to date, the vast majority are either insectivores or fruit-eaters (frugivorous). Bats tend to be small, even the largest of the “mega-bats”, the Sub-order Megachiroptera, (which means “big wing hand”), are quite small. The biggest extant bats have wing-spans in excess of 1.5 metres, but they weigh little more than a large guinea pig and they are entirely harmless, happily feeding on fruit rather than flesh. Pterosaurs with their leathery wings would have been much more frightening. There were small

pterosaurs, but some of the Pterosauria, some members of the Azhdarchidae, for example, were monsters. Some species stood taller than a giraffe and had beaks more than 2.5 metres long. Some super-sized pterosaur fossils even come from Transylvania!
