Cool Fun Facts about dinosaurs:
1. The word dinosaur comes from the Greek language. Deinos means ‘terrible’ while sauros means ‘lizard'. So dinosaur can be directly translated to ‘terrible lizard.’ Not all dinosaurs were formidable flesh eaters, of course. But this name is certainly appropriate for T-Rex, the king of the Jurassic period.
2. Dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago. Evidence suggests that an asteroid impact was the main reason dinosaurs died out. Volcanic eruptions that caused large-scale climate change may have also been involved, together with more gradual climate changes. Whatever the case, the mass extinction event is still being studied.
3. The baby T-Rex was cute. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was part of a meat-eating group called Theropods, and terrorised many other dino groups. It had powerful legs, sharp teeth and a chilling roar. But T-Rex babies were pretty cute according to hatchling recreations from the American Museum of Natural History. They were about the size of very skinny turkeys and covered in a coat of downy feathers.
4. The largest land-based dinosaur was the Argentinosaurus. This massive creature could reach up to 40 metres in length and 21 metres in height. When you consider the average blue whale is just 4-5 metres long, you can imagine just how huge this dinosaur was.
5. The first scientific account about a dinosaur fossil wasn’t published until 1677 in Europe. This described the discovery of a Megalosaurus thighbone. A Megalosaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur which walked on its two hind legs.
6. Birds evolved from a group of meat-eating dinosaurs known as Theropods. The oldest bird fossils are about 150 million years old, meaning our feathered friends have been around much longer than we have!
7. Many dinosaurs had feathers. And not just avian dinosaurs. The largest known feathered dinosaur was the Yutryannus Huali, a super predator and cousin of T-Rex that probably relied on its feathers to keep warm.
8. Some of the biggest dinosaurs were herbivores. The Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus, for instance, were huge but survived on a plant-based diet.
