Dinosaurs were reptiles and most hatched from eggs. No dinosaurs could fly and none lived in the water.
Plant-eating sauropods were the largest animals to ever walk on Earth - but blue whales are more massive than any of the dinosaurs were!
No one knows what color or patterns the dinosaurs were.
Most dinosaurs were plant-eaters (also called herbivores). For example, Triceratops was a plant-eating dinosaur.
Some dinosaurs were meat-eaters (also called carnivores). For example, T. rex was a meat-eating dinosaur.
When the dinosaurs lived, the Earth's continents were jammed together into a supercontinent called Pangaea and the Earth was warmer than it is now.

Just a Few More Facts:
The dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, probably because of the environmental changes brought about by an asteroid hitting the Earth.
Some dinosaurs were very bird-like and may be the ancestors of today's birds.
There are almost 500 described dinosaur genera and many more species. Every few months (sometimes weeks), new finds are unearthed.
