WHAT DOES ORNITHISCHIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ornithischian

Ornithischia

Ornithischia or Predentata is an extinct order of beaked, herbivorous dinosaurs. The name ornithischia is derived from the Greek ornitheos meaning 'of a bird' and ischion meaning 'hip joint'. They are known as the 'bird-hipped' dinosaurs because of their bird-like hip structure, even though birds actually belong to the 'lizard-hipped' dinosaurs. Some commonly known Ornithischians include the horned dinosaurs, armored dinosaurs, Iguanodon, and the "duck-billed" dinosaurs. Being herbivores that sometimes lived in herds, they were more numerous than the saurischians. Many were prey animals for the theropods and were usually smaller than the sauropods.
