More DescriptionDinosaurs were large, extinct reptiles. They lived approximately 180 million years on planet Earth, and their beginnings were during the Mesozoic Era, approximately 245 million years ago. The origin of the name "dinosaur" goes back to the Greek language. Deinos, the thing so big it's terrifying, As for sauros, it refers to lizards or reptiles in general.
The name (Dinosauria) in 1842 AD included 3 reptiles that participated in its magnitude and were distinguished from the rest of the known reptiles. The number of types of dinosaurs currently named ranges between 800 and 1000 species, and all the information about them came through the search for their fossils scattered across all continents of the world. It is also believed that the species known today constitute only a small percentage of the species that actually lived previously.
The sizes of the currently discovered dinosaurs ranged from small dogs to dog-sized monsters, and it is thought that the extinct dinosaurs were the only non-flying dinosaurs, while other dinosaurs survived and evolved into bird-like creatures, and some fossils indicate that some dinosaurs already had feathers.
