What are dinosaurs?
The word dinosaur comes fram two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard,”
While dinosaurs weren't lizards, they were reptiles that ruled the land for
more than 150 million years. Alihough scientists only discovered the un-
known animals in the 1820's, the bones, teeth, eggs and tracks (called
fossils] they leit behind tell us much abaut ће dinosaurs today; where they
lived, what they ale and what they looked like
12
When did dinosaurs live?
Dinesaurs first appeared an the вам about 220 million years aga, They
lived during the Mesozaic ЕА1 OF the Age af the Reptiles, a time when reptiles
dominated the мн, sky ап а. The Mesozoic Era is divided into threas
penads; the Triassic, the. Jūtā nd the Cretaceous, Some dinosaurs
lived during only ane or two periods. some ad throughout the whole era.

What did they look like?

There were hundreds of different types of dinosaurs which varied а lat in size
and appearance. Some dinosaurs walked an four legs, some on two. Same,
like tha Stegasaurus, had plates along its back. Others had bone domes and
crowns on their heads like the Triceratops. Even stranger ones had duckbills
ue
and spikes, But all dinosaurs can be divided into two groups: the Ornithis-
chians (bird-hipped dinosaurs] and the Saurischians (lisard-hinped dina
saurs) Few dinosaurs however, where as small as today's birds and lizards

The smallest dinosaurs were the size of chickens, Other dinosaurs were the
size of дода or even ef man, but the most gigantic dinosaurs were the largest
animals aver ta lve an land,

Tha Brontosaurus or “thunder zant was so heavy and long (each one around
ВОН, that scientists believed its huge teet made tremendous noise when it
walked. Some weighed as much as lan limes that of a full-qrown elephant!
Diplodacus was even longer, at times as great as &it., and the Tyrannosaurus
Rex, Ihe most ferocious dinosaur af all, 10 ft. tall just at ће hips!
 skin, teeth and bones like the lizard. Some laid eggs and were as
intelligent as the crocodile. But dinosaurs varied very much пот today's
repliles too, Modern reptiles would never grow as large as the dinosaurs did,
and few have the same pastura. Та lizards, lurlles and crocodiles have
legs which extend aut from their bodies, Dinosaurs had legs that stood
under their bodies, pushing them up fram the ground and allowing many to
stand on their hind legs. This also helped them 1a move faster on land.
Where did the dinosaurs live?
Dinosaurs lived in mast pans of the world and in all different types of set-
tings. They could be found in forests, swamps, plains. deserts and beaches
just like the ones we have today, but living of course with different plants and
animals

Scientists believe that today's continents used to farm one large land mass
surrounded by а greal saa. During іне Masazaic era when the dinosaurs
lived, the land mass began to separate. The dinosaurs could still reach all
parts ai the land, but the land was slowly changing. The seas that used ta
cover North America began to drain and the Rocky Mountains started to
form. This made the weather change bit by bil. Dinosaurs prabably lived
mostly in a tropical climate with a dry and a rainy season. Near Ihe coast th
air was probably moist and mild. In the desert it was mare hot and dry.

What did the dinosaurs eat?

Dinosaurs were either plant eaters (herbivares) like Ihe Stegosaurus or meal
eaters (camivares) like Ihe Tyrannosaurus,

Herbivores ate water plants and leaves which they reached with their lang
necks or front paws, depending on which they had. The tallest plant eating
dinosaurs could reach the taps of trees that were 20 Н. high! Herbivares
tended to have large stomachs and specialized teeth that helped to digest
ће tough leaves they lived off of.

Garnivoras also had special anatomical features for де па food, Many had
huge sharp teeth and claws for grabbing their prey. Soma smaller carnivo:
raus dinosaurs had teeth as small as human teeth, But all nad extrerr
streng jaw muscles to help them chew and clench their food. It is believed
ome dinosaurs were scavengers like today’s vultures and fed on dead
Other dinosaurs were believed to hunt in packs like wolves, circling
and attacking their prey.

Who was the largest carnivore of all?

animals and dead dinosaurs. Others disagree. Th he could have
chased his prey at forty miles per hour! So Негсе was Ing Tyrannosaurus that
sometimes the word “rex” or "king" is added to his name, making him king of

What happended to the dinosaurs?

The dinasaurs first appeared on the earth 220 million years ago and then
mystenausly disapaeared 65 million years aga. No ane knows lor sure what
happened to them, but scientists have many ideas,
 касы
ка
Some believe that a comet or asteroid hit the earth and caused billions of
tons of duel. The dust blocked out the sunlight and killed the plants. The
herbivores had nothing to eat and died. When the herbivores died, the
camivores had по food and died as well

© Others think that the changing climate caused by Ше land's movement during
tha Cretaceous period was tao hard for the dinosaurs to adjust to. Maybe И
to cold and dinosaurs couldn't survive because they nad по fur ог
feathers to protect them. Mammals who did have fur and fealhers and who
could hibernate during cold times did survive and still live today,

Perhaps it is a combination of Inese two theories and probably other reasons

too that the dinosaurs disappeared. Only through research and discovery
