Introduction to the Mysterious World of Dinosaurs
Figure 1: Dinosaurs came in various sizes. They also lived differently. And they often did not get along with each other.
Can you imagine what life would be like if dinosaurs still lived today? Dinosaurs have long been gone, about 65 million years ago. But that does not stop people from finding facts about them. Indeed, they are one of the most interesting creatures that ever roamed the earth. The dinosaur's name came from a Greek word which literally means "terrible lizard." This name is meant to refer to the impressive size of these creatures rather than their scary appearance. Dinosaurs dominated the Earth for more than 160 million years. Sadly, they had become extinct and scientists believed that a huge asteroid impact or a huge volcanic activity may have been responsible for their extinction.
Figure 2: Some dinosaurs were enormous in sizes while some were rather small like the size of a chicken.
Dinosaurs varied in size. The tallest dinosaur can hover above two double decker buses, the heaviest one is about the weight of 17 African elephants, while the smallest is just about the size of a chicken. Most of them may have been massive in size. But they only had tiny brains. The smartest of the bunch would only qualify as a D student. Dinosaurs had different tastes. While some eat all meat, others liked to feed on plants better.
