Dinosaur Facts for Kids | Dinosaurs | Learn cool facts about the Age of Reptiles

What do you know about dinosaurs? In Dinosaur Facts for Kids, you will learn cool facts about many of these ancient animals. They lived during the Mesozoic era millions of years ago, which is divided into three smaller periods: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. To this day, scientists still debate about the cause of their extinction. Was it because lots of volcanoes erupted at the same time? Or was it because a meteor crashed into Earth and caused a ton of damage?
Regardless, we can learn a lot about dinosaurs by studying their fossils. The first dinosaur bones ever found were found in China. The people originally thought they were the bones of giant dragons! The word dinosaur means “terrible lizard,” which works because most dinosaurs are classified as reptiles. Because of the work of paleontologists, we know that some dinosaurs walked on two legs while other walked on four. We also know that these terrible lizards varied greatly in size. Some were as small as chickens while others were bigger than a school bus!
The types of food that dinosaurs ate varied as well. Dinosaurs were either herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, just like the animals of today. There are also some dinosaurs that are considered the ancient ancestors of birds!
