Welcome to Planet Dinosaur!
Dinosaurs are the single, most successful group of animals to ever walk the Earth. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for over 150 million years, from the Early Triassic Period about 230 million years ago until the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 65 million years ago. From carnivores to herbivores, bipedal to quadrupeds, dinosaurs came in all sorts and sizes. Some were as big as buildings, others were the size of large turkeys, some had feathers, some were fast sprinters... Over 500 distinct genera and more than 1,000 different species of dinosaurs have been identified. Their remains are found on every continent of the planet. Some dinosaurs developed complex skeletal structures for protection against predators and others developed ornamental crests possibly for mating. Some dinosaurs had large plates or fins for cooling their bodies and some were great parents to their offspring. Other dinosaurs possessed the intelligence to hunt in packs.... This site is dedicated to these magnificent creatures and the researchers that dedicate their lives to learn more about them.
