10 Scary Things You Never Knew about Dinosaurs
We think we know everything about dinosaurs, then these facts pop up. Today we will be talking about
10 scary things you never knew about dinosaurs. Are you one of the people that think that the T-Rex
doesn’t deserve its title as king of dinosaurs? Wait till number one, it will probably change your mind.

Number 10. The Biggest of Them All
Dinosaurs had a rather large range in terms of size. The smallest known dinosaur, the Compsognathus,
only grew to about the size of a chicken. On the other side of the scale was the Argentinosaurus.
Amazingly, these two ends of the spectrum lived in the same time period as each other, which was
about 94 to 97 million years ago.
The Argentinosaurus not only holds the record for the biggest dinosaur, but it is also the heaviest and
longest land creature to ever live. Despite being so massive, the Argentinosaurus started off small. Their
eggs were about the size of coconuts and when they were born, they weighed a little more than 10
pounds. It took about 40 years to grow to their full size, which was about 26 feet tall, and they were 121
feet long, which is as long as three school buses. They also weighed 100 tons, which is about as much as
12 African elephants. In order to sustain their size, they would have needed 100,000 calories a day,
which is about 200 Big Macs.
Perhaps the most impressive feat this animal could do was rise up and stand on its back feet. If some
unlucky dinosaur, even huge carnivores, were to get underfoot, they’d be flattened like pancakes.

Number 9. A Vegetarian with a Bad Attitude
The Triceratops horridus, which means “three-horned face,” was a herbivore, but it still wasn’t an
animal you’d want to come across. They were 10 feet tall, 30 feet long, and they weighed four to six
tons. If it’s hard to visualize. Just think of a rhino as big as a mid-sized elephant, but 100 percent meaner.
Of course, the Triceratops’ most notable feature is its three horns. There were two above their eyes, and
one above their mouth. When a Triceratops reached adulthood, the horns were three feet long and
curved upwards. It was used to fight with other Triceratops over mates and territory. However, they
were also used to fight off the apex predator that lived at the same time as them – the T-Rex. Evidence
they would have been able to fend off a T-Rex was that a Triceratops fossil had a healed wound from a
T-Rex’s bite, suggesting the Triceratops was able to fight off the dominant predator and lived long
enough after the encounter for the bite to heal. If you were bad enough to thwart an attack from the
meanest predator around, you’re someone I wouldn’t want to mess around with.

Number 8. The Fast and the Hungry
The fastest known dinosaurs are believed to be part of a group of Theropod dinosaurs called
Ornithomimids. One of the most famous subspecies is the Gallimimus bullatus, which are the ostrich-like

dinosaurs in the first Jurassic Park movie. It’s believed that they could run 50 miles per hour. However,
given that they are toothless, they probably don’t eat meat, so this entry is not about them.

On the other hand, a dinosaur that was deffinitely fast and terrifying was the Carnotaurus sastrei, which
means “meat-eating bull.” It got its name because of the bull-like horns on its head, which it would have
used to bully other Carnotauruses trying to enter its territory. Also, unlike the Gallimimus, the
Carnotaurus was a pretty big animal. They were 13 feet tall, nearly 30 feet long, and weighed up to two
tons. Despite their huge size, they were surprisingly fast thanks to their massive thighs, which were up
to 15 percent of their body weight. According to calculations, they would have been able to reach
speeds of 40 miles per hour. It would be like trying to outrun a car that is driving over the speed limit on
a city street, but instead of being run over, you stand the chance of being bitten in half.

Number 7. Jurassic Park Lied to You
According to the Jurassic Park movies, Velociraptors were six-foot tall dinosaurs that hunted in packs. As
menacing as they were on screen, they were nothing close to that in real life. While it’s highly probable
they hunted in packs, they weren’t nearly as big as they were in the movies.

Fun Fact: The only complete Spinosaurus skeleton was destroyed during a bombing in WW2

[purclapz]

I mean the water sitting in a glass on your desk right now in your room prob passed through a dinosaur because it ‘s just constantly recycled over and over again lol!

[suscon]

Recently I stopped at a rock and fossil exhibit (before COVID -19) and had the opportunity to speak with a dinosaur educator. He said that the Brontosaurus is back, explaining how the original Brontosaurus showed enough differences from the Apathosaurus (sp?) to be classified as its own species. Has anyone else heard this?

[cedrickvstheworld]

when i was a kid, I like researching things about dinosaurs. They are my favorite models in clay molding. I will definitely want my children to be interested in these amazing things.

[MEME-crrf]

Had to Google to make sure I wasn't crazy. But Giganotosaurus grew to be 30, 000 lbs, whereas Spinos only got to 17, 000.... and Ark knew this ages ago (not that they really hold to scale on all of their dinos but still lol). Not sure where they got Spinos being the largest carnivores from >.>

[nathan_kean]

i like the fact you used clips film the classic film Dinosaurs

[stevenj]

How bizarre that such massive amazing creatures could all be gone in an instant….geez.

[jennifergardiner]

Also, a lot of the "Aptosaurus" footage is of the diplodocus in the BBC documentary sieries Walking With Dinosaurs.

[melinasasha]

I'm an aging adult and still obsessed with dinosaurs !

[LiterallyVesx]

I've always loved dinosaurs as a kid they are my inspiration to be an archeoligist

[RasmusGuineaPig]

Fun fact: yes, argentinosaurus was biggest when it comes to weight, second being puertasaurus, but they don’t get close to the length of the 165 foot long barosaurus lentus

And also, I knew all of these, I’ve known them for years

[rexyanimations]

Fun fact(or a few more facts) : When T rex ran as an aldult, you can feel a vibrations of T rex running. The T rex's feet also have paddles to absorb the shock. The T rex's eyes were the size of a cantaloupe. The eyesight was just like our eye sight, but better, T rex can look farther than all of us. The smell T rex had was amazing, it's nose would sense food nearby ( Probably like a Mile or so or less) so there's no hiding from T rex if your nearby, which will never happen. The teeth were like the size of Bananas.

Fun Fact: Therizinosaurus had claws that could have been 3 ft long!

[Inkypinky]

Argentinosaurs: lol I’m the tallest
Sauroposeidon proteles: amateurs

[makalawade]

You ever go to the comments and be like "Man i should have said that"

[peachyiimomo]

That dinosaur really went with his tail like:YEET

[thomasmuller]

ik velocirapters had feathers and were the size of turkeys we all know

[carracinganddinosaurs]

other fossils are now found and a specimen is known as "Scotty", a T-rex takes the title for the heaviest carnivorous dinosaur, putting T-rex back on top. Edit: I forgot, it was just 42 ft, but the weight counts

[jeremyreijnst]

Every ark player be like 'this vid isnt right'

[Apollo_]

He called the compsognathus "the smallest dinosaur", I'm dying 😂😂😂
