Pterodactylus (the true “pterodactyl”) was not actually a dinosaur, but a flying reptile called a pterosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 150.8-148.5 million years ago!
Real Velociraptors were much smaller than the ones in movies — they were only about 6 feet (1.8 meters) long from nose to tail, about the size of a big turkey!
Scientists have found that male and female Stegosaurus might have had differently shaped plates, just like male and female peacocks have different feathers!
Velociraptors shared their habitat with other dinosaurs like Protoceratops, Oviraptor, and Pinacosaurus!
Some scientists think Triceratops might have had bristles or quill-like structures on its body, based on impressions found in fossils!
