We have one called Baba, I believe it may be a diplodocus. It's made of rubber though so not a real dinosaur.

They laid eggs, like chickens, only more dinosaury.

chickens are descended from dinosaurs and have some of the same gene expressions (tails, teeth, claws )etc as unborn chicks. they're turned off as the embryo develops.

If you could work out how to keep them turned on, you'd hatch a dino-chicken.

and 6 year olds across the globe would think you're cool...

If it wasn't for Dinosaurs there'd be no STW, wait sorry that's Tudour watches.

Tudour watches can easily be mistaken for Dinosaurs.

@jivehoneyjive after watching the factually correct jurassic park the triceratops does a hell of a pile considering how big it is so if that cow size dino makes a 1m mound a spineosaurous must make a 25m mound ever time it goes

That being the case, given they reckon cows and their bumholes are a significant contributor to greenhouse gases, could the dinosaurs have effectively choked to death on their own farts?

Show them this http://mongolia.gogo.mn/r/145080

It's a new shopping mall in MOgnolia that has just opened with three dinosaur skeletons in the shopping mall on display

Trex brontosaurus and something else.

Then tell her to pester her mummy and daddy that she wants to go there.

Triceratops is the best dinosaur. All who disagree will be tri-gored.

T Rex is a tetanuruan coelurasaur, not as you may think, a descendant of the carnasaurs, such as alasaurus. This makes it more closely related to the birds and maniraptorans, so inside every bird there is a T-rex trying to get out. There is a theory that the later feathered dinosuars, such as dynonichcus, velociraptor, etc, were actually flightless birds. This would explain how there was a bird, archaeopteryx, present in the easly createacous, yet the apparently obvious precursors of the avian line only appeared just before the end of the age of the dinosaurs.

and we think that seagulls crapping on us, and nicking our lunch out our fingers is bad, imagine a flock of Dynonichus at the seaside!
They'd play havoc with the kids sand castles, and kick sand into your sandwiches!

oooh, ooh, I know one (courtesy of Edmond from Peppa Pig).

There's no such thing as a Brontosaurus. It's really an Apatosaurus and was misidentified. This has been known for, like ages yet most kids growing up in the 70s and 80s (like me) would have continued to be fed the lie that they existed. conspiracy?

The time gap between us and a T-Rex is less than the gap between a T-Rex and Stegosaurus. (Twitter 'fact').

Totally dug the whole dinosaur thing, think it's based on the idea of bad-ass animals that, if they were still around today, we wouldn't be - now THAT'S bad ass.

Cool facts? That's a different thing. Velociraptor was not as big as the films, they were based more on Deinonychus which was more biggerer and scarier than velociraptor. Triceratops was a pretty cool ceratopsian dinosaur, but my favourite was styracosaurus - no fluffy frill, this bad mamma jamma had HORNS protecting its neck! 🙂

The triceratops was considerably larger than a cow. It's skull was 3m long. Also a plant eater, so a 1m high pile of shit is not too far from reality. The spinosaurus was a carnivore, therefore would need to eat less bulk, therefore it's shit pile would be smaller.
