We all have a heard a lot about palaeontology and dinosaurs in our favourite TV shows and obviously we all love the movie Jurassic Park. Before humans came on earth, there was a period of time which was an age of reptiles or what is called Mesozoic era which had dinosaurs walking all over the earth.
It is hard to believe that such big reptiles existed on earth for over 140 million years and then, they just vanished, completely.
This is NYK and today we have come with some interesting and fun facts about dinosaurs.

1. Dinosaurs are still around us
   There are some alternate theories which are not widely accepted but give the bulk of the evidence of modern birds having evolved from small and feathered dinosaurs. The evolutionary process may have happened over several years, since birds share a common ancestor with dinosaurs, so it is theoretically correct to say that dinosaurs still exist in form of Modern birds

2. All dinosaurs didn't vanish at the same time
   The strikes of meteorites caused catastrophe for life on earth, but it didn't gulp all the dinosaurs at the same time, it may have possibly caused their extinction but the extinction happened over hundreds and thousands, of years. The climate change, diseases and lack of food led to their extinction and surely they are not alive today.

3. Dinosaur can run at speed of 40 miles per hour
   The average speed of a car is 25 miles per hour. So, if the dinosaurs still existed today, they would be able to outrun the cars.

4. Stegosaurus has a brain of size that of a brazil nut
   These gigantic dinosaurs had a tiny brain. The body mass of a Stegosaurus was about 5 tons, while their brain had the size of two brazil nuts, which is pretty small as compared to their body mass.
