What are some prehistoric animals besides dinosaurs?
The "dinosaurs" that could fly, such as Pterodactyl, or swim, such as Elasmosaurus, weren't true dinosaurs. Therefore, they were prehistoric animals that were not dinosaurs.
When did dinosaurs roam earth before Adam and Eve or after?
Answer 1
before. much before but there was caveman during adam and eve's time.
Answer 2
The view of the Bible (Adam and Eve) and the view of Evolutionary History (Dinosaurs) are mutually exclusive. The Biblical view asserts that the world was created less than 10,000 years ago by an Almighty God. Dinosaurs would therefore have never existed and all of the fossils that have been found are tests of our faith. The Evolutionary Historical View claims that Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Dinosaurs existed from roughly 220 to 65 million years ago. The first Homo sapiens (modern humans) came into existence 250,000 years ago. This would mean that dinosaurs preceded humans by over 64 million years.
How did dinosaurs first come to life?
They evolved from a branch of reptiles known as the diapsids (for the two open areas in their skulls); those, as well as all other reptiles, evolved from amphibians, and the amphibians from bony fish. As each step goes further into the past, the uncertainty of the specific ancestors increases, but the fish may have evolved from crawling creatures on the bottom of the seas similar to the arthropods. Anthropods probably evolved from worms and worms from simpler forms similar to cnidarians. These had no hard anatomy and left few if any fossils, but it's presumed that the lineage eventually finds its way back to single-celled creatures.
Incidentally, the division in the Reptiles that produced the dinosaurs (the diapsids) also produced the synapsids, a branch that eventually led to humans.
Is prehistoric park real or not?
No its not real. Its based on some recent data collected by scientists. The whole show is fake but with some real animals like elephants and birds. But no all the dinosaurs in the show its all computer generated and they use replicas of it. Like they use a head of a woody mammoth and computer generated the rest.
Are sharks related to sea dinosaurs?
No. First of all, there are no "sea dinosaurs." During the time of the dinosaurs there were marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs and icthyosaurs, but they were not closely related to dinosaurs. Sharks are cartilaginous fish. Reptiles are ultimately descended from bony fish, which split off from cartilaginous fish more than 100 million years before the first reptiles appeared.
What part of the ocean did a megalodon live in?
Alot of Sciencetists say when they went skuba diving they saw a big fish that was about 100ft in the deep part of the ocean so I'd have to say yes that they do.
Were frogs around during the time of the dinosaurs?
Frog fossils have been found dating to the Jurassic period. The Jurassic period was the middle period in the middle of the Mesozoic. The Mesozoic was the era in which all dinosaurs lived, so frogs and dinosaurs did coexist.
What animal has been around since pre-historic times?
Most animals, (including humans), evolved in prehistoric times. It is far harder to name an animal that has evolved after prehistoric times.
EDIT
Some good examples of blueprints of animals that have existed for millions of years are sharks and another species of fish I can name is the Coelacanth that is still around today :).
What was the biggest vegetarian dinosaur?
Spinosaurus is the largest known carnivorous dinosaur species. They were about 16 metres in length, and weighed about 8 tons. By comparison the much better known Tyranosaurus Rex was about 12 metres long and weighed 7 tons.
How many dinosaurs roamed the earth'?
Millions over the mass of years they reigned, and new ones are still being excavated and discovered.
What do you call the sub-order of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs?
Meat eating dinosaurs, or any meat eating animal/mammals are considered as a "carnivore". The group that contains most meat eating dinosaurs is Theropoda.
Carnivore/Carnivorous eg: T-rex
Where there dinosaurs in china?
There were dinosaurs in China.
They were discovered in Inner Mongolia; more than 10 dinosaur species have been found at a place called Erlian. There is a good museum located next to the dig site.
In January 2011, the most recent discovery has just been unearthed: a dinosaur with a dingle digit (i.e. one finger) called the Linhenykus monodactylus.
What was it like when the dinosaurs were around?
When the dinosaurs existed, the world was much warmer than it is today. There were many warm, shallow seas.
The primary plants included conifers, tree ferns, cycads, and, during the Jurassic, ginkgos. In the early Cretaceous, the last period when non avian dinosaurs lived, the first flowering plants appeared, and, before the extinction of the dinosaurs, early grasses grew near riverbeds, and there were palms and Magnolids.
Besides dinosaurs, there were pterosaurs in the sky, and icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasars, and thalattosuchians lived in the oceans. Many modern animal groups, such as mammals, birds, crocodillians, turtles, frogs, and salamanders evolved during the time that non avian dinosaurs existed.
Are There Four Legged Dinosaurs That Eat Meat?
There were no four legged, meat eating dinosaurs. However, some large, carnivorous reptiles that had four legs existed before dinosaurs. Examples include the gorgonopsids and Dimetrodon.
When did dinosaurs disappear from earth?
It is impossible to fix the dinosaurs' extinction to a specific year for several reasons:
- There were no intelligent animals alive at the time of the dinosaurs, and so there were no calendars and no record keeping.
- Even though dinosaurs are thought to have become extinct due to a single cataclysmic event, the actual extinction process itself likely took place over several years, decades, or even centuries.
- Even if the extinction was confined to a single year, there is currently no means to date the extinction event that precisely.
What period and era did the equus live?
I am trying to find this out also.
I have tried a few cites and it says that it is really not known that well. There is very few amount of history on the horse I believe it was in the Precambrian era I am not sure though
When did dinosaurs first walk on earth?
Dinosaurs evolved on land and never lived in aquatic habitats. They existed between 225 and 65.5 million years ago, with the exception of birds, a group of dinosaurs that thrives to this day.
Why does dinosaurs no longer exist?
Well one thing you need to remember, most prehistoric animal have adapted and evolved into more useful and dominant forms. While I'm sure no one believes that humans evolve from apes anymore, it is possible for animals to evolve and adapt to their needs. For example: some of the smaller reptiles from the prehistoric period may have evolved slowly over hundreds of years into birds. They may have grown feathers and their bones may have hollowed out to make it easier for them to fly. They may have also gotten much smaller. There is nothing sure about all of this and no matter how many people say it or how many scientists say they are sure, no one knows what really happened other than God himself, but we can make speculations and educated guesses as to what may have occured while we were still nonexistant. Dr. Grimm- advice expert, hisorical aid, animal reasearcher, and Christian. Well sharks, aligators, crocadiles, komodo dragons, stergon, etc. have evolved very little since their species first evolved. hope this answers your question :-)
Was brachiosaurus more famous than diplodocus?
Personally, I don't think dinosaurs are 'famous'. But my brother is a paleontologist and he claims that the brachiosaurus is supposedly more famous than the diplodocus because a brachiosaurus looks like what everyone thinks a typical dinosaur looks like.
Nobody knows for sure what color the dinosaurs were. they could have been rainbow colored for all i know.

Looks like there is a song called Pink Dinosaur by Papaya (see related link below for the lyrics).
I also found some other pink dinosaur things... toys, etc. that I am including in the related links as well.
Was a frozen intact dinosaur found?
Not so far. Here's the problem: we find frozen mammoths because mammoths lived during the last Ice Age, which just (geologically speaking) ended. Dinosaurs lived much, much longer ago and since then there have been many warm periods when all the ice melted, even in Anarctica. If any dinosaurs had been frozen, they would have been thawed out long ago.
