Dinosaurs 101






 All Aboard! 
We're gonna ride the Dinosaur Train!
 Troodon means "wounding tooth"
 TROH-o-don

Mr. Conductor is a Troodon and a special friend to Buddy and all of his family. He is in charge of the dinosaur train. He becomes one of Buddy's heroes because he is the Conductor of one the most awesome trains of all, the Dinosaur Train! Mr.Conductor is very intelligent and is happy to explain facts about dinosaurs, the places they visit and even how the Dinosaur Train works.
Mr conductor grew to be:
Length - 6.5-11.5 ft  long
Height - 3 ft tall at the hips
Weight - 110 pounds
Mr Conductor could probably be found in the dining car with a big chunka beef or something meaty for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Oh yes, he's a carnivore!
The first Troödon fossil was discovered by Ferdinand V. Hayden in 1855. Many teeth, 20 skeletons, and elongated eggs (some located in dirt nests) with embryos have been found.
 Fossils have been found in Canada (Alberta) and USA (Montana and Wyoming).
