Were all dinosaurs big?

They are larger for the larger dinosaur species and smaller for the smaller ones (just as an ostrich egg is much much larger than a robin's egg).

Who discovered the first dinosaur fossil?

It's hard to say who discovered the first fossils, because many discoveries were obviously just not reported. However, the ancient Chinese were known to use ground-up fossils of dinosaurs in a type of medicine starting about 300 B.C.E. with the belief that they were actually dragon bones (not surprisingly, considering the shape of the bone). However, the first reported dinosaur fossil ever discovered was discovered by John Woodward, who was the first to cataloging of a dinosaur bone. After that, the fossil record later on became much more complete.

How long were the dinosaurs tails?

A Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail was about 15feet long.

Did people come before the dinosaurs?

Yes. All of the dinosaurs were gone long before human beings existed. Only woolly mammoths and saber-tooth tigers were contemporaneous with cavemen. These two animals are mammals and therefore not technically dinosaurs, which are lizards.

Did the dinosaurs die of a virus?

Disease has also been proposed as the killer of the dinosaurs. As the cretaceous period went on, more and more land bridges started to appear on the earth. The oceans started to dry up and the dinosaurs that were there were able to walk across the land that was there. As the dinosaurs searched for food they would walk over these new land bridges and find relatives of theirs from when the lands of the world were one. But land bridges brought more than dinosaurs looking for food into the new land. They brought all of the diseases that those dinosaurs had inside of them. The diseases did not hurt the dinosaurs because they were immune to them, but to the other dinosaurs they could be fatal and the other way around. In most cases disease in a species in not fatal and is a positive thing because it will wipe out the weak so only the strong survive to pass their genes on to the next generation, but in the dinosaurs case it might not have been that way.

What is brachiosaurus weight?

The average weight of a brachiosaurus is in between 33-88 tons. The females are usually around 70 tons where males are around 80 tons. The baby brachiosaurus can vary from 33 tons to... well, adult sized.

When was the last time that dinosaurs roamed the earth?

Figuratively dinosaurs are still alive in animals such as Aligaters and Birds but if you mean like t-rexes and stuff like that it was about 300 millon years ago

What was the largest animal in the Jurassic period?

Plesiosaurs, apatosaurus (just about all the sauropods), praeornis, archaeopteryx (a Jurassic bird), Brachyopomorpha, Stephanoceras, Pleurosaurus--most of the Jurassic species did not survive beyond the Jurassic.

What term refers to dinosauars that ate plants?

Herbivores. Meat-eaters are carnivores, and those who eat both are omnivores.

What did Utahraptor eat specifically?

It may eaten plant-eating dinosaurs such as gastonia,camarasaurus or brachiosaurus.

How can coprolites tell scientists what a dinosaur might have eaten?

Because it's fossilised poop, and by analysing poo we can put together what went into the stomach to come out the other end like this. Such whether it contains undigested bits of food (like husks on some seeds, fish scales, insect chitin etc) or whether it had a high protein content etc. Even fossilised these things can be tested.

When a scientist digs a dinosaur bone is it really a bone?

Most fossils have slowly been replaced by more durable mineral substances. So the fossil is not made of real bone. However, it was recently found that they do still contain remnants of the original bone, including proteins from the dinosaur itself.

How does dimetrodon protect itself?

The Dimetrodon would use its sail to hide from its predators

What is the dinosaur with the big club an its tail and bony plates that protect its body?

Ankylosaurids were short legged, plant eating dinosaurs covered in bony armor and armed with a tail club. The difference between ankylosaurids and nodosaurids is that nodosaurids had no tail club.

Does a protoceratops?

Yes, pterodactyl were from a branch of reptiles, and reptiles are vertebrates.

Which habitat did the dinosaurs live?

Dinosaurs lived on all different continents in climates ranging from dry deserts in Pangaea and Asia to semi-arid plains in North and South America, polar forests that went dark all winter in Antarctica, semi-arid forests on the islands of Europe, mangrove swamps in North Africa, and coastal floodplains in North America. If you include the fact that birds are dinosaurs, though, than any habitat you can think of from the open ocean to the Arctic tundra to tropical rainforests and open grasslands has dinosaurs, even today.

Which dinosaur was bigger seismosaurus or baryonyx?

Seismosaurus is a dubious name. The dinosaur is actually called diplodocus. Diplodocus was far larger than Baryonyx.

What dinosuars can swim?

It is possible that many dinosaurs were able to swim. I´m sure the hadrosaurs (duck-billed dinosaurs) were capable of doing just that. However there weren't any that were built like seals or dolphins. Animals such as the icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and pliosaurs were all reptiles and not dinosaurs.

Like most large land animals today, most dinosaurs could probably swim, if only marginally. No known dinosaur has been found that actually lives in the water, though some evidently ate fish and lived near water.

Where can you buy triops?

you can buy triop eggs on the internet or in toy shops in starter packs shops like toyr r us, argos internet sites like the netfysh.com or amazon

What happened after the dinosaurs extinct?

Humans are mammals; the earliest mammal fossils date from 165 million years ago - so roughly in the middle of the "age of the dinosaurs". The actual "earliest" mammal is a variation on the "chicken and egg" question; the 165 million year old fossil is known as a proto-mammal - having some of the characteristics.

The full story of *how* man evolved after the the extinction of the dinosaurs is, of course, enormously complicated, but in it's basics, mammals survived the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous (one suggestion is that the end of the Cretaceous was caused by the Earth cooling and the small, furry mammals were less likely to be killed by the colder weather). How man evolved from the small, shrew like mammals that survived is really the story of the evolution of any species; in a hostile environment, some members of a community will survive to breed and some won't. Characteristics of those that survive will get passed down to their offspring, eventually the offspring will be so different from their ancestors that they will become a different species.
