Fascinating Dinosaur Facts
Did you know? The word “dinosaur” literally means “terrible lizard,” coined in 1842 by British paleontologist Richard Owen. But here’s the twist—dinosaurs weren’t actually lizards at all!
Triceratops had up to 800 teeth arranged in groups called batteries. As teeth wore down from chewing tough vegetation, new ones grew in to replace them.
Stegosaurus had a brain the size of a walnut despite weighing as much as a car. Scientists believe those back plates may have helped regulate body temperature.
The smallest known dinosaur, Microraptor, was about the size of a crow, while the largest, Argentinosaurus, stretched over 100 feet long!
