Following information is taken from the three information panels on display around the dinosaur lake. The creatures are listed in roughly chronological order, with the most recent at the top of the page.
Megatherium
Name means : Giant Beast.
Lived : Ice Age.
Died out : 11,000 years ago.
Diet : Herbivore.
Megaloceros
Name means : Giant Antler.
Lived : From 400,000 years ago, through the Ice Age.
Died out : End of Ice Age.
Diet : Herbivore.
Palaeotherium
Name means : Ancient Beast.
Lived : Tertiary period.
Diet : Herbivore.
Problems with models : Given a tapir-like appearance; probably actually linked to the horse family.
Anoplotherium
Name means : Short Canine Teeth.
Lived : Tertiary period.
Diet : Omnivore.
Problems with models : Given a camel-like face and hooves; probably should be more like hippos, with clawed feet.
Mosasaurus
Name means : Meuse Lizard (first fossils were found in the river Meuse).

Died out : End of the Cretaceous.
Diet : Carnivore.
Iguanodon
Name means : Iguana Tooth.
Lived : Early Cretaceous period.
Died out : End of the Cretaceous period.
Diet : Herbivore.
Problems with models : Modelled as a quadruped; fossil tracks show the Iguanodon could walk on two or four legs. Models have what should be a thumb spike fitted as a nose horn.

Diet : Herbivore.
Megalosaurus
Name means : Great Lizard.

Diet : Carnivore.
Problems with model : Probably should be bipedal.
Pterodactylus
Name means : Flight Finger.
Lived : Jurassic period.
Died out : End of the Cretaceous period.
Diet : Carnivore.
Teleosaurus
Name means : End Reptile.

Died out : End of the Cretaceous period.
Diet : Carnivore.
Dicynodon
Name means : Two Dog Teeth.
Lived : Late Permian and Triassic periods.
Died out : End of Triassic period.
Diet : Herbivore.

Name means : Maze Tooth.
Lived : Late Permian and Triassic periods.
Died out : End of Triassic period.
Diet : Carnivore.
