Dinosaurs were reptiles as they had scaly skin, cold blood, and other qualities that reptiles had. They also were vertebrates (like us) which meant they were living beings with a backbone, for example, dogs and frogs. Dinos belong to the kingdom Animalia; which is the scientific name for animals.

CLASSIFICATION

To classify (sort) dinosaurs, you have to follow a few steps to get it right and there are two types of ways you can do it. One of the types is an easy way, first, you sort them into herbivores (plant-eating dinos) or carnivores (meat-eating dinos). Then, you just put them into their dinosaur types: T-Rex, triceratops, etc…

You can also classify them in a scientific method; you look at their hip bone shape and decide. if it has a pelvic shaped hip bone (which are shaped like elephant ears), this dino can be sorted into a category called Saurischia. If your dinosaur has hip bones shaped like birds hip bones, it can be called Ornithischia. That was another way to sort dinosaurs.

WHAT ANIMALS EXISTED WITH OR BEFORE DINOS? ARE THEY STILL ALIVE?

Many other animals that exist now were present back in the Jurassic time. They were mainly reptiles; reptiles came long before dinos did, so they are older than the Jurassic beast. Another type of reptile living with them was known as Plesiosaurs which is commonly known as marine reptiles; these were related to dinosaurs, but they were not a complete or proper dino.

Some fish were also swimming in the ocean millions of years ago. Some of these fish were sharks, sea stars, lobsters, green sea turtles, and more. Fish are a very old species of animals and they are a bit similar to dinosaurs- for example, they both have scales or scaly skin and many of these fish still exist to this day.

What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary?

A thesaurus!

Birds too flew with Pterodactyls, but only some of them existed with dinosaurs. Scientists now tell us that after research, they discovered that birds were dinosaurs and they didn’t descend from them. You may agree or not agree with this, but it has been proven in many ways.

Plants existed for millions and millions of years and some of them even live now; plants like ferns and magnolias. Plants are amongst the oldest living things and they led to dinos and then it came to us. Now, this leads us to talk about insects. Most insects had wings; this was one way flowers were pollinated, pollen was moved around when the insects touched a flower. There is much much more to dinos but, if I write all of that, you will spend weeks reading it. So I hoped you enjoyed reading this post and to finish it, I am going to end with a lovely joke. Bye!!!!!!
