Honestly, it still blows my mind that a massive carnivore once walked exactly where we live today. Finding terms like fossil and scales tucked into this grid brings a little of that wild ancient era right to the table.
Frequently asked questions
Why do we usually just find fossil bones instead of the whole animal?
Soft parts like skin and muscle decay rapidly, leaving mostly the harder skeletal pieces behind to slowly turn into rock over time.
How can we tell if an extinct creature was a carnivore or herbivore?
Researchers look closely at the teeth, since sharp edges are meant for hunting meat while flat ones are better for grinding plants.
