Page 3 - Dinosaurs

How would you describe a dinosaur? Probably a massive creature with sharp teeth and thunderous roar, walking on legs, destroying everything on its way. What if we say that’s not true? These extinct reptiles that dominated the Earth about 66 million years ago are not even close to how we have picturized them in our imaginations. 

The birds that we see today are linked to a particular group of dinosaurs called theropods. Within this group of dinosaurs, there are many species of which tyrannosaurus and velociraptor are some of the most well-known ones. In this blog, we’ll talk about the latter.

If you go by their name, you may think Velociraptor dinosaurs must have been quite fast in their time. This actually isn’t true as even a human child could have outrun most Velociraptors. Their name ‘Velociraptor’ means ‘swift robber’ and was given by American paleontologist Henry Osborn.
