Were there dragons in the dinosaur age?
No, there were no dragons in the dinosaur age. It is just a myth like a donkey's horns.
How slow was the slowest dinosaur?
Triceratops was a quadruped, meaning that it walked on all four legs. They weren't designed for speed, but that doesn't mean they couldn't travel rapidly for short bursts, similar to elephants. Triceratops also had a special ability to quickly rotate, which was useful in defending itself against predators like Tyrannosaurus.
What is the most dangerous dinosaur name?
Probably something in the raptor family such as velociraptor ,utahraptor,deinonichus,and megaraptor,these dinosaurs where fast and intelegent,but they didn't use their teeth to kill their prey,they had a large sickle-shaped claw and used that to bring down prey much larger than themselves
What was similar to both dinosaurs and birds?
Birds are more like dinosaurs to the extent that many scientists say that they are dinosaurs.
Can you make a dinosaur in real life?
Yes. A scientist has proven that by using chicken D.N.A. you could re-create a dinosaur. He claimed that he would have a real dinosaur in the next 5 years.
Which dinosaur is sometimes referred as the thunder lizard?
The brontosaurus was referred to as a thunder lizard.
Apatosaurus is sometimes referred to as the thunder lizard.
What was the Pteranodon closets relatives?
Diplodocus was a subfamily of the Diplodocidae family. The other subfamily in the Diplodocidae family was Apatosaurinae. The famous Apatosaurus was a member of the Apatosaurinae subfamily.
Carnivorous dinosaurs were normally much larger than African Lions. If they were smaller, they had larger brain-to-body ratios and probably hunted in packs. So, when pitted against any theropod dinosaur (with the possible exception of the compsognathids) it would probably lose.
What characteristics did omnivorous dinosaurs have to make them distinctive?
Omnivorious dinos would only eat the easiest prey they could find. They wern't like the T-Rex that chased things to eat. Omnivores simply ate the easiest things possible, and most of the time, they were on 4 legs, but double check on the size, and the leg thing.
Were cavemen arround during the dinosaur age?
No. Dinosaurs died out 55 million years ago and the earliest humans evolved (EDIT: 3.5 million, not 35) 35 million years ago so they missed each other by 52.5 million years. Also, our actual species only dates back around 120,000 years.
Short answer, Yes.
There was a mass extinction about 65 million years ago, which killed off many dinosaur groups. One dinosaur group survived however, the birds.
There are about twice as many bird species alive today than there are mammals. So dinosaurs are doing quite well actually.
What did a Talarurus Dino eat?
Talarurus, like all ankylosaurs, was an herbivore that ate low growing vegetation.
Which era saw the emergence of dinosaurs?
The Mesozoic Era saw the emergence of the dinosaurs, more specifically, the Cretaceous Period. From 252 million years ago to about 66 million years ago, the era was known as the age of reptiles.
How did the brachiosaurus get its name?
Its name is derived from Greek.
You can divide it into three parts;
tyranno,
which is a form of the greek word for tyrant,
saurus,
which means lizard,
and rex,
which means king.
So the name Tyrannosaurus rex really means the Tyrant king of lizards.
Answer 2: Tyrannosaurus rex (tyrant giant lizard) was about 10 feet [3 m] high at the hips. When standing, it could measure some 20 feet [6m] tall. It was about 40 feet [12m] long. Its head was up tp four feet [1.2m] in length, and it's large mouth was equipped with many six inch [15m] conelike teeth. The hind legs were very small. A huge lizardlike tail brought up the rear. Rather than walking ir is now concluded that the tyrannosaurs held their bodies horizontal, balancing their body's weight with their long tail.

Yes, dinosaurs all hatched from eggs laid by the females. However, we can not tell if any species were ovoviviparous like some modern reptiles.
Is a dinosaur a vertebrate or invertebrate?
Dugongs are vertebrates. Most invertebrates are usually small.
How come scientists are trying to bring back dinosaurs?
For starters, we don't know a lot about dinosaurs. We used to think there was a brontosaurus, until we discovered someone mistakenly spliced two different dinosaurs. Some scientists think the T-Rex might have had feathers and some think the T-Rex was not a hunter, but rather a carion eater (like a giant wingless vulture). So, bringing them back would give us an opportunity to study them more to better understand what these creatures were like. Simply bringing an extinct creature back (dinosaur, carrier pigeon, dodo or whatever) may be a great achievement in its own right. Dinosaurs may have genes that could prove usefull in treating diseases. Depending on the type of dino, they might also be a viable food source - for example, suppose a 2,000 lb herbavore dino consumes some easy to grow plants that could make it less costly to raise than an 800 lb cow - might be a means to produce more food for less. Their skin might be a cheaper and sturdier alternative to alligator and snake for belts & such. Some dino's might make good pest control (catch mice and other small critters) or they might be trainable as pets (smaller ones most likely - no velociraptors). They might also make more challenging hunting game. Many dinos would be disastrous to their local eco systems as they would instantly become a dominant predator with little or no competition, which makes dino restoration something that would require a very controlled and well studied process to avoid major disaster. It may prove to be a case where some dinosaurs are ok to revive and re-introduce while others would be strictly limited to scientific caged study (possibly only growing tissue samples only), or avoided entirely.
How many dinosaurs does it take to make a quart of oil?
Oil is made from plankton. All the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) began 300 million years ago, 70 million years before the dinosaurs.
Who studies dinosaur teeth bones eggs and tracks?
Paleontologists (the ones who specialize in dinosaur science, anyway) are the ones who study these subjects, if that's what you're asking.
What do goldfish eggs look like?
They are a little jelly circles and they are mostly clear. And they also have dark little bodies maybe in them.
Yellow when it laid recently, the fertilized eggs will remain yellow else it turn opaque or white means they are unfertilized and will not hatch. This happen when proper spawning process, correctly don't happen during that time.
How many millions of years ago did dinosaurs become extinct?
The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, is the name given to the die-off of the dinosaurs and other species that took place some 65.5 million years ago. For many years, paleontologists believed this event was caused by climate and geological changes that interrupted the dinosaurs' food supply.
What was the smelliest dinosaur?
me!
The world's most stinkiest animal on earth is 'vajj
The second most stinkiest animal on earth is 'The Skunk'.
The smelliest animal is the pig or hog.
Well It is probably more likely to be a Skunk :) Because it has a lethal gas that comes from its bum :D
The striped polecat, also known as the zorilla, is a skunk-like member of the weasel family. The African mammal is almost certainly the world's smelliest creature. Its anal glands can allegedly be smelled from a half a mile away. That's over seven football fields. Much like the skunk, the striped polecat can shoot these smelly secretions from their anal glands to help deter predators. While the animal's smell is amazing enough, even more amazing is the fact that some native peoples actually use the polecat's incredibly nasty secretions as a perfume. It's likely they use it to mask their own smell when hunting, however, rather than an affinity for the smell of a striped polecat.
Skunks, wolverines, certain insects.
