What types of dinosaurs were there? Any questions you have can be answered by finding the right resource. When it comes to books, you can generally check the appendix and see if there is any information related to what you want to know. If you are watching documentaries or scientific exploration shows, you will have to watch the entire program to see if there is any relevant information provided. When it comes to the internet, you can use keywords to search through a myriad of resources. Some have been hunted into extinction, others have gone extinct because their homes have been destroyed. Then, there are dinosaurs. These creatures walked the Earth for an incredibly long time and essentially ruled the animal kingdom. There are several different beliefs when it comes to the dinos. These, of course, are barring what can be proven with scientific evidence regardless whether there is evidence on the particular topic or not. Some people believe that the dinosaurs were the only creatures on the Earth, that they made up every part of the food chain. Other people do not believe dinosaurs existed at all. These people believe that dinosaurs are a hoax and that the skeletons hanging in museums are a bunch of bones from different animals forced together to make a “dinosaur”. Still others believe that dinosaurs are an elaborate hoax. There are also those who believe that there was creatures on the Earth then and even that they were incredibly large; however, they do not believe that these creatures were dinosaurs. Some believe that dinos did exist but they were nothing like portrayed on any picture or recreation. While every person is entitled to their own personal beliefs, it is difficult to truly refute established facts and dismiss evidence entirely. If you are interested in learning about dinosaurs, you have found an excellent resource.

First, consider that the study of dinosaurs can take you a long way depending on how far you want to go. You can even get your college degree in a dinosaur related field such as archeology or paleontology. Both of these are excellent career paths to consider if you are truly dedicated and interested in learning about dinosaurs and what the Earth was like when they ruled the animal kingdom. Beyond your initial degree, you can go on to receive a masters degree and even a doctorate. You can become a top player in the field and learn more about the dinosaurs than any other person has dared to learn. Of course, it is not necessary to go that far if that is not what you want. If you only have a general interest, enough to research and go to exhibits, but not enough to take classes, you can still learn a great deal. All you need to do is find the best place to learn what you want to know. If you prefer, you can always just do a bit of research via the internet and be satisfied. Whatever your level of interest, make it work for you.

If you are just beginning and want to gain a bit of knowledge to determine how much you want to learn, it is best to start small. This can mean anything from perusing a book or watching a documentary to going to a museum or performing some basic research. The best advice here is simply to utilize all of the resources you have available. Head to your local library and see what books they have available on the topic of dinosaurs. Remember to be cautious when requesting one from a list as there will be some for children and some for adults. Next, check out Netflix or whatever streaming service you use and see if you can find any documentaries. If you cannot find any on your streaming service, try google play or the Itunes store. From there, a bit of internet research is in order. All it takes is a few keywords, some time, and your interest. Looking through all of these resources you will have opportunities to ask the questions that are burning in your mind.

If you find you are interested in more of a hands-on learning experience, consider attending classes, going to museums, attending events and shows, and other similar learning experiences. Even if you do not want to pursue a degree in this line of work, there are classes available to help you learn. First, take to the internet to determine what type of event, classes, and museums are near your location. From there, you will better be able to determine what you want to do and what your options are. You may even decide to take part in more than one option. Depending on your preferences, you have to travel a bit to reach what you want to attend, but if you have a burning desire to learn, it will be worth it.

If you are brand new to learning about dinosaurs, here is a bit of basic information to get you started on your learning journey. First, there were many different types of dinosaurs. Most dinosaurs were quite large, but some were comparatively quite small. Some walked on two legs while others walked on four. Others still could fly and many swam. Some were carnivores, some herbivores, and others omnivores. They lived throughout three different periods, the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. They live the same way animals today live, through a strict ecosystem and food chain. Many types of dinosaurs lived in packs and others preferred to be loners. The dinosaurs are the ancestors of many animals that you are familiar with in today’s time.
