1.
Modern wild birds are in fact dinosaurs! Actually, a T-Rex is far more directly connected with a turkey than a stegosaurus.
2.
This is because there had been two main groups of dinosaurs: saurischian (lizard hipped) and ornithischian (bird hipped), and contemporary birds progressed from saurischian team, which include the T-Rex, and are generally evolutionarily nearer than saurischian and ornithischian dinosaurs.
3.
The actual fact that modern-day birds are dinosaurs, traveling reptiles (like Pterodactyls while the ridiculously amazing Quetzalcoatlus) that lived-in the amount of time in the dinosaurs weren’t dinosaurs.
4.
Neither were marine reptiles like the Plesiosaur or Liopleurodon.
5.
Neither had been Dimetrodons. Dinosaur refers to a certain collection of land-dwelling reptiles who couldn’t fly and had a certain brand of hip bone.
6.
The Brontosaurus isn’t really a proper dinosaur at all. It’s just what happened when individuals accidentally put the skull of one sauropod on the body of another (in addition when people had been being jerks and battling to easily “discover” as much new dinosaurs because they could).
7.
It’s possible that the Triceratops failed to occur either! However, there’s however plenty of discussion going on, some paleontologists think that Triceratops skeletons are younger Torosauruses.
8.
The Therizinasaurus met with the longest claws of any dinosaur, which grew to be three legs very long.
9.
T-Rex encountered the biggest teeth of any carnivorous dinosaur at 12 ins long.
10.
Velociraptors in real world just weren’t just like those in Jurassic Park after all. In actuality, these were just a few foot tall, weighed about thirty lbs and where covered in feathers. To make certain that irritating child is pretty much correct, except versus six-foot turkeys, they certainly were similar to
three
-foot turkeys.
11.
Actually, many dinosaurs had been probably covered in feathers or protofeathers (that have been basically brief fuzzy feathers).
12.
Absolutely a dinosaur named when it comes down to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (
Dracorex hogwartsia
, meaning “Dragon King of Hogwarts”).
13.
Absolutely evidence that suggests that Tyrannosaurus Rexes occasionally ate each other, which: gross but also cool?
14.
Hadrosaurus foulkii
(Duck-bills in “secure Before Time”) had been 1st typically full fossil actually within America. They revealed a plaster casting of it during the 1893 World’s Fair, the good news is we know that initial hypothesis of just what it looked like was actually totally wrong.
Astrodon, Maryland’s State dinosaur.
15.
The majority of claims have state fossils, but
some claims have actually designated condition dinosaurs
.
16.
The classic dinosaur flick “The missing globe” (1925), whoever plot supposes that dinosaurs aren’t extinct all things considered, was the very first feature-length film ever before to function stop-motion animation.
17.
The largest, most complete T-Rex fossil is currently during the Chicago area Museum. Known as “Sue” after paleontologist Sue Hendrickson, the fossil is actually 40 foot long and 13 foot high.
17a.
Sue the T-Rex ended up being found in South Dakota, assuming you visit the Field Museum with some one from Southern Dakota, which is virtually that only thing you should know.
18.
T-Rexes often lived are about 3 decades old, so they had been basically permanent millennials. Imagine a T-Rex viewing
Ladies
. I bet T-Rexes will be total Shoshannas.
19.
Parasaurolophuses moved in herds. They truly did move in herds.
20.
Its unlikely that dinosaur eggs had been actually ever larger than two feet across, actually when it comes to biggest dinosaurs.
21.
It’s suggested that the wisest dinosaurs were Troodons, who had been maybe about as smart as modern-day birds.
22.
There have been completely toothless dinosaurs; “SIMPLE TIPS TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON” got GENUINE
23.
Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent, such as Antarctica.
24.
The one thing i recall from my personal astronomy course usually fundamentally everything significant that occurs is because of large area stuff working into other huge area things, thus I feel the theory that a huge effect annihilated the dinosaurs might be true based on that class I got freshman 12 months of college.
25.
You can make road trips more pleasurable any time you suggest that car is mostly about how big a Stegosaurus and this the walnuts you demonstrably stuffed in order to have this discussion tend to be around how big is a Stegosaurus mind.
26.
Some plant-eating dinosaurs ingested stones in order to help them absorb their own food.
27.
Megalosaurus had been the first dinosaur (not counting modern-day birds, which, we’ll remind you, tend to be dinosaurs) to get officially named considering fossils back 1824.
This is not at all what an Iguanodon appears to be. via

28.
Next ended up being the Iguanodon in 1825. They have a well-known flash spike, but that increase was actually positioned on their nose like a horn by first experts who categorized it.
29.
Mary Anning
had been a popular early paleontologist in The united kingdomt, exactly who found some ichthyosaur and pterosaur skeletons additionally the first ever plesiosaur skeletons. Although nothing of those are in reality dinosaurs, she deserves a spot about this number, because she ended up being a functional class girl creating health-related breakthroughs about prehistoric reptiles during a period when the only real researchers happened to be upper class men.
30.
Jurassic Park
is amongst the All-Time most readily useful movies available and Dr. Ellie Sattler is an overall badass who I would like to be/marry.
