Welcome To The Dinosaur Jungle!



The home for dinosaurs on the Internet.

Dinosaurs were one of several kinds of prehistoric reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era, the "Age of Reptiles".

There were many different kinds ("species") of dinosaurs, which varied in size from about the size of a chicken to over 100 feet long.
  • Some dinosaurs were meat-eaters ("carnivores"), but others ate plants ("herbivores").

  • Some dinosaurs walked on four legs, and some walked on two.

  • Some dinosaurs had armor and horns, and some even had primitive feathers.
Dinosaurs dominated the earth for over 165 million years, but all died out ("became extinct") at the end of the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago. Nobody is certain why they went extinct - but most scientists now believe it was caused by an asteroid hitting the earth and the subsequent environmental changes.

Today we know about dinosaurs mainly because of the fossil remains: of dinosaur bones, dinosaur eggs, dinosaur droppings, and even dinosaur footprints.

Nobody knows for sure what a dinosaur sounded like, or even what color they were.

Dinosaurs may live on today! Some dinosaurs were very bird-like, and it is likely that they may have been ancestors of today's birds.
