DINOSAURS- PART 1

                                             DINOSAURS

The word dinosaur comes from the Greek language and means ‘terrible Lizard’. A person who studies dinosaurs is known as a Paleontologist

More than 700 varied species of dinosaurs have already been discovered and the list continues to grow with latest researches regularly adding new names.

Where and when did dinosaurs live?

More than 250 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed on Earth for about 150 million years before they became extinct. Since no one has actually seen the dinosaurs, all the information we have about them has been interpreted by scientists on the basis of their fossils. Their fossils have been found in all the continents including Antarctica.

Why did dinosaurs have claws?

 

The herbivore dinosaurs used their claws to dig the earth, to grasp the branches or may be to pierce through objects. The carnivores used them to tear apart their prey or to fight their competitors.

Were dinosaurs clever or foolish?

The dinosaurs did not have the same level of intelligence. While some of them were absolutely dump or stupid, the others were comparatively better. Troodon is believed to be one of the most intelligent amongst all.

The mighty Stegosaurus who weighted as much as 3000 kilograms mighty have been the foolish of all the dinosaurs 

 despite its bulky and scary look. Its brain was just about 3 millimetre long and weighted not more than 75 grams.
