Studying dinosaurs for children
Many interesting facts about dinosaurs can be learned from books and educational films for children. However, to begin with, the baby is better to tell the basic information about these animals.
Approximately 230 million years ago, that is long before the appearance of man, dinosaurs appeared on Earth, or "terrible lizards" if verbatim.
These animals were truly huge, the sizes of some of them reached 25 meters in length and 6 meters in height. However, there were also tiny lizards, with the dimensions of our turkey. For example, Komsognath is the smallest and fastest predator, which, due to its small size, often became the prey of its large brethren.
Together with predators, in those days our planet was inhabited by herbivorous lizards, which ate algae and foliage of bushes. Dinosaurs lived on land in all parts of the world. It is also known that the lizards carried eggs, covered with leather.
People have learned about the existence of dinosaurs thanks to the research of paleontologists. They are engaged in excavating the remains of ancient inhabitants. Petrified animal bones scientists find in rocks, sands, clay on all the continents of our planet. Find a whole dinosaur skeleton - this is an unspeakable luck for a paleontologist, sometimes it takes years.
Scientists have not yet succeeded in establishing the exact cause of the disappearance of giant reptiles. Some believe that dinosaurs have died out due to a sharp change in climate, others - are sure that animals are poisoned by new plants.
The history of the origin and life of dinosaurs can be supplemented with stories for children about different representatives of their family (and there were more than 300 species).
