Dinosaur branching databases

Using Textease branch, we have been creating branching databases.

A branching database is used to sort and classify data using yes and no answers.

Using a branching database is  like playing "20 questions". You are asked a series of questions, each of which must be answered yes or no. Finally, only one of the choices matches your answers and the object is identified.

After searching and collecting information on 8 - 12 dinosaurs, we have to think of an opening question, with a yes or no answer, that would split our dinosaurs. (Please click the pictures to get a larger image).
