Dinosaurs The word "dinosaur" comes from the Greek
language and means "terrible lizard".Dinosaurs
lived on our planet a very long time ago. The
oldest known dinosaur is Eoraptor, a meat-eater
that lived 228 million years ago. People believe
that dinosaurs lived on the Earth until around 66
million years ago. Some dinosaurs ate meat and
others ate plants. Most dinosaurs hatched from
eggs, and they could not fly or live in water.
Some dinosaurs walked on two legs, while
others walked on all four legs. Some had homs
and spikes, others had thick bumpy skin, and
some even had feathers. The biggest dinosaurs
were over 30 metres long and about 20 metres
tall. The largest dinosaur was the sauropod. The
smallest dinosaurs were the size of a chicken.
