Any animal that walks on four legs is called a quadruped. Quadrupedal dinosaurs include ceratopsians (like Triceratops), sauropods (like Brontosaurus [correctly called Apatosaurus], stegosaurs (dinosaurs with triangular "plates" on their back), ankylosaurs (armored herbivorous dinosaurs), and hadrosaurs (although they could also walk on two legs. An animal that walks on two legs is called a biped).
No carnivorous dinosaurs walked on four legs. Some famous carnivorous reptiles that predate dinosaurs are often mistakenly called dinosaurs. An example is the Dimetrodon.
Mos species of dinosaur walked on 4 legs, but some, including all carnivorous dinosaurs, walked on 2 legs.
All dinosaurs had four limbs. Some dinosaurs, like Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus, were bipeds, which means that they only walked using their two hind limbs. Other dinosaurs, like Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and Diplodocus, always walked on all four limbs, making them quadrupeds. And some dinosaurs walked on all fours, but ran on their two hind legs. Examples of such dinosaurs include Igaunodon and Parasaurolophus.
No, it possessed two massive legs and two small arms.
No, not all carnivorous dinosaurs walked on two legs. Some carnivorous dinosaurs, like the theropods, were bipedal, walking on two legs. However, others, such as the ceratosaurs, were quadrupedal, walking on four legs.
No. Actually, the elephant is the only animal with four knees.
Since the Triassic period was the time of the first dinosaurs, herbivores and carnivores were known to walk on 2 legs. Examples are:CorythosaurusCaseosaurusTechnosaurusShuvosaurus
The ancestors of dinosaurs walked upright before they evolved into true dinosaurs. The earliest known dinosaur, Eoraptor, walked with upright legs underneath its body.
Dinosaurs that walk on two legs are called "bipeds". The term applies to all animals that walk on two legs.
