Did you know?

Did you know that all dinosaurs had lived on land?  There where no dinosaurs that live in the sea or flew in the air (Until Birds).  That is right, not even the flying pterosaurs (a flying reptile) or the swimming ichthyosaurs (The fish lizard) where dinosaurs.  These creatures did appear during the time of dinosaurs and where distantly related to some species of dinosaurs, but they where no dino's.

Next time you are walking through a museum with your family or friends and looking at different dinosaurs point out that fact when you see something like a large pterodactyl suspended from the ceiling, just say "Hey guys, I bet you that is no dino!"
