Frequently Asked Questions on Dinosaurs

When did the dinosaurs disappear?

The dinosaurs first appeared in the Triassic Period (251.9 million to 201.3 million years ago). These reptiles roamed the only continent Earth had then (Pangaea). However, they went extinct around 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period. 

Why did dinosaurs go extinct?

Scientists have many theories on why dinosaurs went extinct. Many say a big asteroid hit the Earth and wiped out these reptiles. However, some also suggest that climate change and volcanic eruptions contributed to their fate.

What did dinosaurs eat?

Many dinosaurs we know, such as the T. rex, the utahraptor, and the velociraptor, eat other animals (like early mammals or other dinosaurs). However, most dinos were plant-eaters. They ate fruits, leaves, ferns, and mosses.

Are birds related to dinosaurs?

Scientists state that birds are modern relatives of dinosaurs. They evolved from much smaller dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction events that wiped out the dinos we know and love. Don’t you think it’s interesting to hear dinosaurs singing outside your window in the morning?
