Dinosaurs were animals that lived 100 million years ago. Some dinosaurs are more like reptiles while others are more bird-like. Although many creatures are sometimes called dinosaurs, dinosaurs did not fly or live in the ocean.

Most dinosaurs lived off of plants, but some were carnivores and ate meat. The carnivores have become famous in the movies like Jurassic Park. The T-Rex and the Velociraptor are two of the scary carnivores.

We know about dinosaurs from fossils that are found in the ground. From Fossils, scientists are able to recreate whole skeletons of dinosaurs and determine what the dinosaurs were like. Some of these fossils and skeletons can be seen in museums. Fossils of dinosaurs have been discovered on every continent of the world. Fossils from the same type of dinosaur have been found on different continents as well.

Dinosaurs, in general, were very large. Some dinosaurs are thought to be 40 feet tall or more. This is twice as tall as the tallest giraffe ever. There were also some smaller dinosaurs that just a foot or so tall. There were may different types of dinosaurs from giant lumbering plant eaters that walked on four legs to fast dangerous meat eaters that could run on two legs.
