Devilsaur
This was one of the first creatures that would pound you into the ground if you weren't paying attention in Un'Goro. Thank you Blizzard for giving us these guys as hunter's pets!

Tyrannosaurus Rex
Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. One of the largest known land predators, they grew up to 42 ft in length, 13 ft tall at the hips, and 14,000 lbs (7 tons) in weight.

Pteranodons were not considered a dinosaur, but a tailless Late Cretaceous Pterosaur. They had wingspans up to 27ft. I was recently pointed in the direction of Dr Mark Witton who has done a wealth of research on these guys (getting his PHD) and you can find more awesome information here! I am amazed at the variety of these winged reptiles.

Stegosaurus
if If you look to the left in the above picture and in the background of the picture below, you can see the stegosaurus skeleton. Stegosaurus grew up to 30 feet long and weighed about 6,800 pounds (over 3 tons!) Stegosaurus also had spikes at the end of its tail just like the stegodons/thunderlizards.

Demetredon
These guys are a pretty fair representation of their real life counterparts. Dimetrodons preceded the earliest dinosaurs by more than 40 million years but physically it looked a lot like one. It is often referred to as mammal-like reptile, based on characteristics of the skull and dentition.
New in MoP!
Patch 5.2 brought us the Isle of Thunder and the Isle pf Giants and that means more awesome dinosaurs! Triceratops are here and looking amazing. There are also new flying dinosaurs that look like a cross between pterosaurs and Toruk (great leonopteryx) from Avatar. The Triceratops can be both mounts and hunter pets. Here's advice on how to tame them. Thank you Blizzard!
New color schemes for the Devilsaurs.
