Dinosaurs seized everyone’s imagination, but how much do people know about them? Were they actually huge carnivores? Did they all look like reptiles? Time to find out! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- They had feathers As you may already know, dinosaurs were the ancestors of modern-day birds, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that many of them had feathers. Fleas the size of cockroaches You actually didn't expect animals like dinosaurs to be free of fleas, did you? Most surprising of all is that these were giant. Most of them were herbivores Even though the movie Jurassic Park depicted the Jurassic period as an endless jungle, full of ravenous predators everywhere you go, most dinosaurs were herbivores... How did they mate? Dinosaurs spread all over Earth and although it’s obvious that a female and a male were needed for this, scientists are still not sure how they reproduced. Were they warm-blooded? Dinosaurs were giant reptiles, but the idea that they were cold-blooded is a fact that many took for granted. Yet nothing could be further from the truth, as new studies have cast doubt on that belief. Dinosaurs lived with mammals If you think that mammals appeared long after the dinosaurs, back in the ice age, you're wrong, they already co-existed. They didn't live just in the jungle Almost all films and documentaries about dinosaurs show them in a jungle where they coexist feeding on the ecosystem and each other, but it wasn’t always the case. Not all dinosaurs were dinosaurs That was amazing, you probably thought it was the coolest dinosaur in Jurassic World, but the truth is that this animal was a Mosasaurus, and it wasn’t a dinosaur. Spinosaurus, the only known aquatic dinosaur As mentioned earlier, many giant aquatic reptiles weren't actually dinosaurs, so technically, there were no aquatic dinosaurs. Their days were already numbered I bet you also believed that dinosaurs were comfortably ruling over Earth until the giant asteroid spoiled the party and drove them to extinction.
