• 1:03
  Question. In which period did
• 1:05
  Tyrannosaurus Rex live? Jurassic or Cretaceous?
• 1:13
  The answer is Cretaceous. T Rex lived about 68 to
• 1:18
  66,000,000 years ago in the Late Cretaceous, mainly in what is
• 1:22
  now North America. It did not live during the
• 1:25
  Jurassic Period. Here's the.
• 1:27
  Question which? Group of living animals are
• 1:30
  actually modern day dinosaurs. The answer is birds.
• 1:38
  Scientists classify birds as avian dinosaurs because they
• 1:41
  evolved from small feathered theropods.
• 1:44
  That is why many features and birds like hollow bones also
• 1:49
  appear in some non avian dinosaurs.
• 1:52
  Here's the. Question.
• 1:53
  Which dinosaur had a huge sail like structure on its back and
• 1:57
  hunted near water? The answer is Spinosaurus.
• 2:05
  Evidence from fossils suggests Spinosaurus had adaptations for
• 2:09
  a semi aquatic lifestyle including a long snout and
• 2:13
  paddle like tail. It likely haunted fish and lived
• 2:16
  in river systems in what is now North Africa.
• 2:19
  Here's the. Question.
• 2:21
  True or false? Velociraptor was the size of a
• 2:24
  large Turkey and had feathers. The answer is true.
• 2:32
  Real velociraptors were smaller than many people think about,
• 2:36
  two meters long and lightweight, and they had feathers.
• 2:39
  They also carried A curved sickle shaped claw on each foot
• 2:43
  for gripping. Here's the.
• 2:45
  Question What? Are the three main periods of
• 2:47
  the Mesozoic Era in order? The answer is Triassic.
• 2:55
  Jurassic. Cretaceous dinosaurs first
• 2:58
  appeared in the Late Triassic, grew diverse in the Jurassic,
• 3:02
  and reached their greatest variety in the Cretaceous.
• 3:06
  The Cretaceous ended about 66,000,000 years ago.
• 3:10
  Here's the. Question which?
• 3:11
  Giant long necked dinosaur ranks among the heaviest ever found,
• 3:16
  often estimated over 60 tons. The answer is Argentinosaurus.
• 3:25
  Fossils from Argentina point to a massive sauropod with
• 3:29
  vertebrae larger than bathtubs and leg bones thicker than a
• 3:32
  person's waist. Exact size is still debated, but
• 3:36
  it is one of the largest known land animals.
• 3:39
  Here's the. Question.
• 3:41
  Which famous horned dinosaur had three facial horns and a large
• 3:45
  frill? The answer is Triceratops.
• 3:52
  It lived in the Late Cretaceous of North America and shared its
• 3:56
  environment with T Rex. Its horns and frill were likely
• 4:01
  used for display and defense. Here's the.
• 4:04
  Question which? Dinosaur is known for a heavily
• 4:07
  armored body and a tail club. The answer is Ankylosaurus.
• 4:16
  It had armor plates called osteoderms and a thick, Bony
• 4:20
  tail club at the end. That tail club could deliver
• 4:23
  strong blows to protect against large predators.
• 4:26
  Here's the. Question.
• 4:27
  Which dinosaurs name means double beam?
• 4:30
  Referring to features under its tail?
• 4:37
  The answer is Diplodicus. Its name refers to paired
• 4:41
  Chevron bones on the underside of the tail.
• 4:43
  Diplodicus was a long whip tailed sauropod from the Late
• 4:47
  Jurassic of North America. Here's the.
• 4:50
  Question which? Small 4 winged dinosaur had
• 4:53
  flight feathers on both its arms and legs.
• 5:00
  The answer is Microraptor. Fossils from China show long
• 5:05
  feathers attached to its forelimbs and hind limbs,
• 5:08
  creating a four winged arrangement.
• 5:10
  It likely glided between trees in the Early Cretaceous.
• 5:14
  Here's the. Question which?
• 5:16
  Dinosaur had plates along its back and spikes on its tail and
• 5:20
  did not live at the same time as Tea Rex.
• 5:27
  The answer is Stegosaurus. Stegosaurus lived in the late
• 5:32
  Jurassic about 150 million years ago, long before T Rex appeared.
• 5:37
  Its tail spikes are called the Thagamizer.
• 5:40
  Here's the. Question.
• 5:42
  Is Ketsalkowatlis a dinosaur or a pterosaur?
• 5:49
  The answer is pterosaur. Katsalcoatlis was a flying
• 5:53
  reptile, not a dinosaur, and it had a wingspan as wide as a
• 5:58
  small airplane wing. Pterosaurs lived alongside
• 6:01
  dinosaurs but belonged to a separate group of reptiles.
• 6:05
  Here's the. Question.
• 6:07
  What evidence? Let's scientists study the
• 6:09
  colors of some dinosaur feathers.
• 6:15
  The answer is fossilized melanosums.
• 6:19
  These tiny pigment structures have shapes and arrangements
• 6:22
  linked to colors in modern birds, allowing scientists to
• 6:26
  infer patterns in some feathered dinosaurs.
• 6:29
  For example, studies of Ankyornis fossils suggest black,
• 6:33
  white and reddish patterns. Here's the.
• 6:36
  Question which? Event ended the reign of non
• 6:39
  avian dinosaurs about 66,000,000 years ago.
• 6:47
  The answer is a large asteroid impact.
• 6:51
  The Chicksilub impact in what is now Mexico caused rapid climate
• 6:54
  changes and widespread extinctions.
• 6:57
  Some volcano activity also occurred around that time, but
• 7:01
  the asteroid is the main cause, supported by evidence.
• 7:04
  Here's the. Question which?
• 7:06
  Late Cretaceous dinosaur is famous for extremely small arms
• 7:10
  but a massive bite force. The answer is Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• 7:19
  Studies estimate its bite force among the strongest of any land
• 7:23
  animal known capable of crushing bone.
• 7:27
  Its small arms were still muscular and may have helped
• 7:30
  with gripping during feeding. Here's the.
• 7:32
  Question which? Dinosaur family includes swift
• 7:35
  bird like predators such as Denonicus and traditionally
• 7:38
  Velociraptor. The answer is stromiosaurids.
• 7:46
  They are known for long stiffened tails and a large
• 7:50
  retractable claw on the second toe.
• 7:52
  Many had feathers linking them closely to the origin of birds.
• 7:57
  Here's the. Question.
• 7:59
  What did many large plant eating dinosaurs use gastrolytes for?
• 8:07
  The answer is grinding food. Gastrolyths are swallowed stones
• 8:11
  that helped mash tough plant material in the digestive
• 8:14
  system, similar to grit used by some modern birds.
• 8:18
  This helps sauropods and other herbivores process leaves and
• 8:21
  ferns. Here's the.
• 8:23
  Question. Which dinosaur is the likely
• 8:26
  first or among the earliest Euraptor or Stegosaurus?
• 8:34
  The answer is Euraptor. Euraptor lived in the Late
• 8:38
  Triassic of Argentina and shows early dinosaur features.
• 8:42
  Stegosaurus came much later, in the Late Jurassic.
• 8:46
  Here's the. Question.
• 8:48
  Which dinosaur is currently a strong candidate for the largest
• 8:51
  meat eater, Spinosaurus or Allosaurus?
• 8:59
  The answer is Spinosaurus. Based on some very large bones
• 9:03
  and new tail evidence. Spinosaurus may have been longer
• 9:07
  than Tyrannosaurus and adapted to a semi aquatic lifestyle.
• 9:11
  Allosaurus was big, but smaller than the largest theropods like
• 9:15
  Spinosaurus. Here's the.
• 9:17
  Question. What is the scientific term for
• 9:20
  cavities in dinosaur bones connected to air sacs seen in
• 9:23
  many theropods and sauropods? The answer is pneumaticity.
• 9:32
  Air filled spaces and bones made skeletons lighter and may have
• 9:36
  helped with breathing efficiency.
• 9:38
  This system is similar to the air sacs found in modern birds.
• 9:42
  Here's the. Question which?
• 9:44
  Dinosaur is known from fossils that suggest brooding on nests,
• 9:48
  challenging its old egg thief reputation.
• 9:55
  The answer is oviraptor. Early finds made people think it
• 9:59
  stole eggs, but later fossils showed oviraptor it's sitting on
• 10:03
  their own nests. The name stayed, but the
• 10:06
  behavior is now understood differently.
• 10:09
  Here's your super. Challenge question.
• 10:11
  Which famous duo never met because they lived in different
• 10:14
  periods, T Rex and Stegosaurus or T Rex and Triceratops?
• 10:24
  The answer is T Rex and Stegosaurus.
• 10:28
  Stegosaurus lived in the Late Jurassic, about 80 million years
• 10:33
  before T Rex appeared. T Rex and Triceratops lived at
• 10:38
  the same time in the Late Cretaceous of North America.
• 10:46
