Millions of years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. The time when dinosaurs dominated the Earth is called the Mesozoic era. That was the time before humans lived although not all dinosaurs lived in one period alone. They were born in different periods. The first period is the Triassic period, this was where the Herrerasaurus reigns. The next period is called the Jurrasic period. This was the time where Stegasaurus appeared. On the Cretaceous period, the king of the dinosaurs, T Rex was born and this was the end of the line.

The dinosaurs are extinct but some of their descendants are still around and this is in the form of birds. Paleontologists have discovered that dinosaurs evolved into birds like cockatoos and hummingbirds. We know why because birds lay eggs like dinosaurs and they have scaly feet although some characteristics of dinosaurs are not copied by birds like how they grate their food with their teeth and how they roar.

Dinosaurs are depicted in films but of course, they are not always true. I mean, dinosaurs didn’t live in the same period. The T Rex didn’t interact with the Mastodon which is a wooly mammoth. Humans and dinosaurs have a different period too. The movies about the dinosaurs have some truth in them too.

Today, even if we don’t see dinosaurs like a giant reptile, we can still see their fossils. Fossils are the bones of the dinosaurs that turned into stones. When a giant meteorite crashed down the Earth, clouds blocked the sun for months and this was a devastation for the dinosaurs. But small animals survived this pandemonium but most plants died and this was the time when dinosaurs disappeared. Today, paleontologists are digging evenly to uncover fossils. There is always a dinosaur fossil waiting to be uncovered. So loathe them or love them, dinosaurs are the best!
