Basic Dinosaur Facts :-

  • Dinosaurs are a group of reptiles that have lived on Earth for about 245 million years.
  • In 1842, the English naturalist Sir Richard Owen coined the term Dinosauria, derived from the Greek deinos, meaning “fearfully great,” and sauros, meaning “lizard.”
  • Dinosaur fossils have been found on all seven continents.
  • All non-avian dinosaurs went extinct about 66 million years ago.
  • There are roughly 700 known species of extinct dinosaurs.
  • Modern birds are a kind of dinosaur because they share a common ancestor with non-avian dinosaurs.

Fun facts about dinosaurs :-

  • Dinosaurs may have ended up massive, but they all came from eggs.
  • It’s believed that birds we see today have evolved from the most interesting dinosaurs.
  • It has recently been discovered that some dinosaurs even had feathers.
  • The dinosaur with the longest name was the Micropachycephalosaurus, which means tiny, thick headed lizard!
  • Most dinosaurs had very small brains and were about as clever as modern reptiles.
  • The word dinosaur comes from the Greek language and means ‘terrible lizard’. They were called this because of their huge size, not because they were particularly terrible!
  • Dinosaurs were the biggest animals ever to have walked on earth.
  • No one is completely sure how dinosaurs became extinct, but most think that it was because of a massive asteroid (huge rock from space) crashing into the earth, or a gigantic volcanic eruption, or both. It’s still a mystery today.
  • The heaviest and longest dinosaur ever discovered was the Argentinosaurus, which reached heights of up to 37 metres!
  • The first dinosaur to be named was the Megalosaurus in 1824.
  • A person who studies dinosaurs is called a palaeontologist.
  • Although they’re known for being massive monsters, many dinosaurs were actually smaller than a turkey.
  • The very biggest dinosaurs ate only plants. Those that ate meat were usually much smaller.
  • One reason that plant-eating dinosaurs grew so big was because they were so greedy. They could eat a huge amount of food very quickly. Sometimes, they swallowed up whole branches without chewing!
  • For their own protection, most plant-eating dinosaurs grew natural weapons like spikes and horns.
  • Dinosaurs lived on Earth for a far longer time than humans have, with their family trees stretching back many millions of years.
  • Unlike most animals alive these days, dinosaurs weren’t warm OR cold blooded. They were somewhere in between.
  • Because dinosaurs were so different to anything alive today, no one is quite sure how long they lived for.
  • The largest meat-eating dinosaur that’s been discovered was the Spinosaurus, which was around 50 foot long and spent most of its time in water.
