dinosaur asauropod that could grow up to one

22
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:06.159
hundred feet long and way over seventy
tons? Answer? Argentinosaurus. Fun fact.

23
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.080
Argentinosaurus, which lived during the Late
Cretaceous period about ninety five million years

24
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.639
ago, is currently the largest known
dinosaur. Based on reliable fossil evidence.

25
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.960
This massive sauropod, discovered in Argentina
in nineteen eighty seven, is estimated to

26
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.680
have measured up to one hundred feet. Despite its enormous size, Argentinosaurus was

27
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.439
a herbivore, using its long neck
to reach high endo trees and feed on

28
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:35.479
vegetation. Question two asked which dinosaur, whose name means speedy thief, was

about one hundred sixty nine million years
ago, was one of the first dinosaurs

32
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.479
to be formally described and named by
scientists. The name Megalosaurus means great lizard

33
00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.120
in Greek, but the creature was
later given the species name buck Landy in

34
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.560
honor of William Buckland, the English
geologist who first described its fossil remains.

35
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.719
Question three asked what is the term
for the extinct flying reptiles that lived during

36
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:15.479
the Age of dinosaurs, which included
species like Pterodactylus and Quetzalcoatlas. Answer Pterosaurs.

37
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:22.199
Fun Fact. Pterosaurs, often referred
to as flying dinosaurs, were actually

38
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.840
a separate group of reptiles that lived
alongside dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era. These

39
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:32.400
fascinating creatures were the first vertebrates to
evolve powered flight, with some species reaching

40
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.520
enormous sizes. The largest known pterosaur
Quetzalcoatlas had a wingspan of up to thirty

41
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.520
six feet, making it the largest
flying animal of all time. Question four

42
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.759
asked which famous dinosaur known for its
distinctive three horned face and bony frill had

43
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:55.199
a name that means three horned face. Answer Triceratops. Fun fact, Triceratops

44
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.960
is one of the most recognizable and
popular dinosaurs of all time. Its name,

45
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.240
which comes from the Greek words try
three saras horn and ops face,

46
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:11.599
perfectly describes its most distinctive feature,
three large horns on its head, two

47
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.879
above the eyes, and one on
the nose. Triceratops also had a large

48
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.759
bony frill around its neck, which
may have been used for display or defense.

49
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.920
Despite its fierce appearance, Triceratops was
actually a herbivore, using its sharp

50
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.399
beak and powerful jaws to snip and
chew tough vegetation. Fossil evidence suggests that

51
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.079
Triceratops was a common and widespread dinosaur
in North America at the end of the

52
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:40.680
Cretaceous period, just before the mass
extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.

53
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:46.800
Question five asked in what modern day
country were the first fossilized dinosaur eggs discovered

54
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:53.759
in nineteen twenty three Answer Mongolia fun
fact. The first fossilized dinosaur eggs were

55
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.480
discovered by American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews
and his team during an expedition to the

56
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.959
Gobi Desert in Mongolia in the nineteen
twenty three The eggs, which belong to

57
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.639
a species of overraptoriated dinosaur, were
found in a cluster of about twenty five

58
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:13.240
individuals, suggesting that these dinosaurs may
have nested in colonies. Since then,

59
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.279
many more dinosaur eggs and nesting sites
have been discovered around the world, providing

60
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:23.879
valuable insights into the reproductive behaviors and
life cycles of these ancient animals. Some

61
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.199
of the most spectacular finds have come
from China, where well preserved eggs and

62
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.920
embryos have been found in association with
adult dinosaur skeleton. Before we wrap up,
