What Is a Dinosaur?

Dinosaurs were one of several kinds of prehistoric reptiles that lived millions of years ago, before people.

We cannot be sure how the dinosaurs sounded, how they behaved, or what colour and pattern they were. Scientists use fossils (bones in stones) to get some ideas!

There were no cameras or videos that far in the past!

Fun Facts

Some walked on two legs

and some on four. Some

could do both

Some were speedy

and some were slow

and lumbering.

Some were armour plated,

some had horns, crests,

spikes or frills to defend

themselves.

skin. Some even had

feathers.
