II-Q 2020
Did you know that the first dinosaur was born about 230 million years ago? THAT WAS A LONG, LONG TIME AGO...
How old are you? Think of that number, and take it and stretch it out all the way to the Moon… ABOUT A THOUSAND TIMES. THAT’S HOW LONG AGO THE VERY FIRST DINOSAUR WAS ALIVE.
DINOSAUR
Plateosaurus
When dinosaurs were born, the Earth was a very different place. Do you know about the continents?
When dinos were around, there was only 1 continent. All of the different places on Earth were part of one big land.
Plus, the weather was a lot different. When dinos were first born, Earth was hot and dry… EVEN IN PLACES LIKE ANTARCTICA THAT ARE NOW COVERED IN SNOW. DAYS WERE SHORTER TOO, BECAUSE THE EARTH ACTUALLY SPUN AROUND THE SUN A LITTLE BIT FASTER.
