Dinosaurs evolved from reptiles over 230 million years ago and were on Earth for about 65 million years before going extinct for reasons that aren’t exactly clear. For centuries, their fossils have fascinated people for a whole host of reasons, like their size, their ferocity, and the fact that they resemble mythical creatures.

#10 the real name is behemoth, which BTW is in the bible, sorry this 10 tens ARE NOT fact. The word dinosaur was coined in 1846 or something like that!!!!
this info is from the devil if you dont believe it just ask the cult beasts in the trumpie beast cult
They brought back the bronto again
SAY THE NAMES CORRECTLY
According to the April 7, 2015 issue of Scientific American the Brontosausaus has been reclassified as a sperate species.
lmao there not facts dinosaurs never existed! 100% proven fact theres companies making the fake bones look it up
I wonder what we'll "know for sure" about dinosaurs in 100 years?
Two years late with this comment, BUT…
Brontosaurus is a real thing again! My childhood vindicated!
that's not scary

Apatosaurus are called Behemoth in the book of Job. Dinosaurs are actually called Dragons not dinosaurs
imagine being a fully grown argentinosaurus only to get jumped by a pack of massive carnivores, all that effort of 40 years growing and you get eaten alive by some hungry midgets
OMG you used the phrase "Florida Teen" Simon you WON THE INTERNET!
I already knew all that
Ark
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
AND the compy lived in the jurrasic and the argentinosaurus lived in the cretaceous like, get your dinos right bruh
No the smallest was the microraptor
tranq arrows and some 15x balm will solve everything.
Florida man meets Florida rex
Dinosaurs were cannibals. Huh. The REAL reason they went extinct; they ATE themselves to death.
The spinosaurus was bigger, but it wasn't incredibly powerful as it's more developed to killing fish then dinosaurs, they're teeth were weak and needle like to catch fish, meaning they'd probably get bodied by local predators such as sarcosuchus or carcharodontosaurus
I dont think compys were the smallest dinosaur
Sorry Top Tenz you need to check on your dates. The Dinosaur family lasted 165 million years you managed to lose 100 million years
waitwaitwait
how can a there be invasive species when humans werent there to move them??? do they just migrate on their own????
Originally named by its discoverer Othniel Charles Marsh in 1879, Brontosaurus had long been considered a junior synonym of Apatosaurus; its type species, Brontosaurus excelsus, was reclassified as A. excelsus in 1903. However, an extensive study published in 2015 by a joint British-Portuguese research team concluded that Brontosaurus was a valid genus of sauropod distinct from Apatosaurus.[4][32][33] Nevertheless, not all paleontologists agree with this division.[28][29] The same study classified two additional species that had once been considered Apatosaurus and Eobrontosaurus as Brontosaurus parvus and Brontosaurus yahnahpin respectively.[4]Cladogram of the Diplodocidae after Tschopp, Mateus, and Benson (2015):[4]
