When I was little, I was obsessed about dinosaurs (especially the triceratops.) I read many books about them, I watched TV shows and videos about them, I had dinosaur figurines, etc. So here are some facts about dinosaurs that I found particularly interesting.
- Dinosaurs are classified into two types : saurischian (lizard-hipped), and (bird-hipped), rather than carnivore and herbivore.
- The smartest dinosaur was the Troodon.
- The dumbest dinosaur was the Stegosaurus, which had a brain the size of a walnut.
- Dinosaurs were actually not the first reptiles on Earth, archosaurs and therapsids were.
- Aquatic reptiles weren’t actually dinosaurs, because technically, dinosaurs were land-dwelling reptiles.
That’s all I have for now.
Thanks for reading~!
