The third Tuesday of May is recognized as International Dinosaurs Day, and this year that is May 19.
Dinosaurs existed on Earth for approximately 245 million years and were a diverse group of reptiles.
Did you know that dinosaur fossils have been discovered on all seven continents?
There are approximately 700 known extinct species of dinosaurs. All non-avian dinosaurs became extinct around 66 million years ago.
My favorite dinosaur is the Troodon. Troodon typically laid 4 to 6 eggs, and it was an omnivore, eating both plants and meat. I find dinosaurs particularly interesting because some of them were small; for example, the Troodon was about 3 feet tall.
