Dinosaurs
Read and answer: When did dinosaurs live on the earth?
Dinosaurs lived on the earth millions of years ago. And now we can not see them. Luckily, we found fossils. We know something about the dinosaurs from the fossils.

One of the dinosaurs is called Tyrannosaurus. It liked eating meat. It was very huge and dangerous. It was about 5 metres tall, three times taller than an adult. It was about 12 to 15 metres long, and much longer than our classroom. It was about 10 tons heavy, and it was heavier than a bus.

But not all the dinosaurs were very big. Some dinosaurs were about 60 centimetres long and 2 kilograms heavy. They were lighter than a hen.
How amazing!
