Hey there!
Oh, don't worry.
This is not real, I was just watching a movie!
Hey friends, the dinosaurs are extinct but the myths surrounding them aren't!
So why don't we bust some dino myths today?
Zoom in!
The word Dinosaur is misinterpreted as Terrible Lizards.
Well, Dinosaurs were neither terrible nor lizards.
The actual meaning of the word Dinosaur is Fearfully Great.
Well, many think that Dinosaurs were huge.
But you'd be surprised to know that the Microraptor,..
..is the smallest species discovered yet.
It's a crow-sized Dinosaur from China
Many believe that humans and dinosaurs co-existed.
Ahaan! Dinosaurs became extinct..
..about 65 million years ago.
Whereas the first traces of human beings were just 6 million years old.
I know it's kinda funny but a myth says,..
..that the Dinosaurs died because mammals ate their eggs!
Hahah! That's not true.
Because the mammals that lived at that time, were far too small to eat their eggs..
..probably, just 2 grams.
See that? Well, that's a Pterosaur.
Flying reptiles are often confused to be Dinosaurs but that's not true!
Marine reptiles such as Plesiosaurs and Ichthyosaurs weren't dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs were terrestrial beings.
Now comes the biggest myth!
An asteroid impact alone resulted in the extinction of Dinosaurs.
Well, the impact could have killed a lot of dinosaurs..
..but many argue that the dinosaurs at that time,..
..were on the verge of extinction.
And the after-effects of the asteroid impact such as..
..giant tsunami, acidic rain and a cloud of dust..
..played a major role in their extinction!
Trivia Time.
The first Dinosaur bone discovered was thought to come from an Elephant!
Not all Dinosaurs had Scales on their bodies,..
..some had feathers too!"
Hope the myths surrounding dinosaurs have become extinct in your minds now?
Wait for more myths to be busted!
This is me Zooming out!
