FANTASTIC TRIVIA ABOUT DINOSAURS

ONE OF THE EARLIEST KNOWN DINOSAURS IS

THE EOROPTOR, WHICH MEANS "DAWN STEALER".

IT WAS NAMED THIS BECAUSE IT LIVED AT

THE DAWN OF THE DINOSAUR AGE

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY EXPLANATIONS FOR

THE MASS EXTINCTION OF DINOSAURS 65 MILLION

YEARS AGO, THERE IS NO UNANIMOUS CONCLUSION

AMONG SCIENTISTS AS TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED

BORN IN 1799, MARY ANNING WAS A PRODIGIOUS

FOSSIL HUNTER BUT WAS NEVER TAKEN

SERIOUS BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN

MOST MEAT EATING DINOSAURS WALKED ON TWO

FEET WHILE MOST PLANT EATERS WALKED

ON ALL FOURS

THE LARGEST DINOSAUR EGGS WERE AS BIG

AS BASKETBALLS

MOST DINOSAURS WERE VEGETARIAN AND THE

BIGGEST ONES HAD TO EAT UP TO 1 TON OF

FOOD EVERY SINGLE DAY. THAT IS ABOUT THE

EQUIVALENT OF A SCHOOL BUS!

ALTHOUGH THEY ARE ALWAYS SEEN TOGETHER

IN MOVIES, THE STEGOSAURUS AND TYRANNOSAURUS

DIDN'T LIVE AT THE SAME TIME. BY THE TIME THE

TYRANNOSAURUS APPEARED, THE STEGOSAURUS

HAD BEEN EXTINCT FOR 80 MILLION YEARS. THE CRAZY

THING IS THAT THE TIME BETWEEN US RIGHT NOW

AND THE TYRANNOSAURUS IS SHORTER THAN THAT!

THE FIRST POTENTIAL DINOSAUR BONES WERE FOUND

IN CHINA NEARLY 4,000 YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME,

HOWEVER, PEOPLE THOUGHT THE BONES

BELONGED TO DRAGONS
