Ashley asked:


I think they have made it up that there were meat eating dinosaurs. I think they were all vegans. I am including a chapter on this in my new book. Thoughts?

jose asked:


Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, but how long had they been around before extinction? Are they mentioned in the Bible? For example, would they have been on Noah’s ark?

How can an asteroid have killed the dinosaurs when it took a million years for them to become extinct?

Peter A Child asked:


This meteor idea is annoying! I keep hearing it but it seems to contradict the fact of a gradual extinction over a really really really long period of time. I can appreciate an impact could and probably did kill a lot of species, but extinction of the dinosaurs was a long long way from overnight, or even two weeks from next Tuesday.

What was the difference between dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles?

Toad Face asked:


Does anyone know what it was that made a dinosaur a dinosaur- and why weren’t ancient crocodiles and lizards concidered dinosaurs? I’m not sure if ‘dinosaur’ is a generic term used to describe all ancient reptiles- or were dinosaurs NOT reptiles? Clearly some dinosaurs survived extinction, as the theory is birds evolved from dinosaurs…So the pigeon on your stoop may have risen from the t-Rex…
Ostridges and Emus certainly have feet like dinosaurs…

But creatures such as crocodiles and lizards look very dinosaur like to me…….
Are all the reptiles today descendents of dinsosaurs- or were their ancestors somehow NOT dinosaurs, but somthing different?

Create a video blog…instantly.
