| Are you seriously implying that the dinosaurs actually went extinct due to a cosmic catastrophe and global cooling period? No. They had a lot of sex, and I mean a freakin lot with ancient humans to share body heat. Which in turn created the Illuminati and half-reptilian shapeshifters of today and whatnot. |

| Watching Jurassic Park made me a dinosaur freak. (The night before the release date back in 1993, my mother and I were fortunate enough to be hanging around a mall movie theater wherein an employee offered for us to see it early.) When I was around seven years old, I made a list (by hand, with paper and pencil) of over six thousand species of fish and thousands of dinosaur species as well. I had tons of dino toys and books. I always love watching movies (etc.) and playing video games featuring dinosaurs. (Can't wait for Jurassic World 3 in June 2021.) I know you were exaggerating when you said billions of years, but just for clarification, the scientific consensus is that most of the dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. Dinosaurs are classified as reptiles, so...yeah. And don't forget this tidbit: The present scientific consensus is that birds are a group of theropod dinosaurs that originated during the Mesozoic Era. Now we just need more dinosaur-themed anime. Attack On Dino!  |

| Yeah, loved 'em since I was a kid. I think there's something just inherently attractive about them that keeps them relevant in pop-culture. In 1000 years, there's still gonna be books (or maybe e-books) aimed at kids detailing all these fun facts about dinosaurs. |

Attack On Dino! Oh, yeah, haha, I actually had a fight against myself to write either millions or billions, and I wrote billions, but I knew it was millions, and I got confused. If I'm not mistaken, I read somewhere that the dinosaurs lived for around 124 million years until they went extinct 65 million years ago. I too can't wait to see Jurassic World 3 Extinction. I hope Blue is going to be in that movie aswell. She was my favourite Velociraptor. |

In real life, however, Velociraptor was roughly the size of a turkey, considerably smaller than the approximately 2 m (7 ft) tall and 80 kg (180 lb) reptiles seen in the films (which were based on members of the related genus Deinonychus). |

| i used to looove dinosaurs when i was a small kid, it was actually due to anime, i used to watch dinosaur king all mornings before going to school. dinosaurs where like my childhood interest tho, so i eventually grew out of it. i still think they're neat and know more dino names than most people i know, which i find pretty cool. |
 I AM THE ONE CALLED POWER! How foolish and conceited these humans be... |
| I used to love them as a child. While don't care about them as much as i did back then, i still like them. TierZoo's last video was on dinosaurs, so i might as well link it. |
| Well a lot are bird like but I don't think they all were. Some sure do look cool. Can dinosaurs get dino-sores? |

| I was a wimpy little kid, so I was afraid of dinosaurs, much due to Jurassic Park. |
 |
| Yes, my favorite game is about an anthropomorphic blue fox crashing her spacecraft on a planet full of all kinds of reptiles, including dinosaurs. It was really fun. I believe there was a T-Rex at some point as well. |
| They are cool until they shit on your car in the morning... Oh you mean thr past dinosaur? Ya they cool. |

| i rather just watch them on photorealistic virutal reality since having them in real life is dangerous the movies shown and also birds and reptiles today are descendants of dinosaurs they say anyway |

I might play that someday. The first one I linked is a pretty cool side-scrolling shooter I played on Super Nintendo in the mid-1990s. The soundtrack is surprisingly good. Lost_Viking said: It was one of the first games ever to have a physics engine. It's interesting that you mention that, because just today I told my friend about PhysX, the physics engine in Borderlands 2, the game I currently play. The high setting is crazy and has graphics that don't show at all on lower settings. It's intensive, so you need good hardware to run it properly. I just use the low setting for now. |

| They're cool. There used to be an arcade game here where you can play as dinosaur and have to beat the other dinos by rock, paper, scissor. I used to love playing them |
| "This is boring...I'm bored..." |
| Apart from Jurassic Park, I also knew about them through Dino Crisis and the books I had about Archaeopteryx and Brontosaurus. Cassowaries are quite close to how some may have sounded like, or just any bird that doesn't have a syrinx and crocodilians. |
 |
| I forgot to mention I bought a ton of Jurassic World fruit snacks awhile ago because they were on sale for a dollar each if you got lots of them. (Plus I felt like showing my support for the franchise. Jurassic Park has been my favorite movie ever since it came out.) You'd think with so many fruit snacks out there, these would taste like something else, but they taste unique to me. I usually only eat junk food later in the day, since it can mess my body up throughout the day otherwise...so I'm taking awhile to eat them all. Here's what they look like. Konradikon said: Apart from Jurassic Park, I also knew about them through Dino Crisis and the books I had about Archaeopteryx and Brontosaurus. I like how Dino Crisis is like Resident Evil with dinosaurs. I only played a demo of (if I recall) the first one. Although I played hundreds of video games, I've only scratched the surface of all the games out there. |

| I adored them as a kid but not so much nowadays. |

I've only watched people play it back when Playstation cafes (Pleysteysyonan as we call it) were still a thing here, and I remember how damn fast the dinosaurs are to give you some challenge. Found out now some fans are doing a remake of Dino Crisis after years without any news or hints from Capcom. |

| dinosaurs are scary as fuck, i would not want to see a dinosaur let alone something crazy like a spinosaurus. i remember watching the 1998 movie [Mafia!] and being traumatized when the tiny dinosaurs ate the old man, exacerbated by the later video game called Turok where there were also tiny dinosaurs. ive never seen any jurassic park movies but i dont plan on associating with any dinosaurs |
| Reptiles but with bird-like characteristics. But I personally never quite understood the whole evolution process (but I definitely believe it, I'm not a YEC) but it's the small theropod dinosaurs that evolved into birds. And yeah I absolutely love Dinosaurs still. I was a little kid experiencing the huge Dinosaur craze that Jurassic Park caused, but I didn't actually go see it because I was too scared lol but I saw all the following ones. I got taught them in School and we even went on a school trip to a Dinosaur park. I really wanted to be a vertebrate paleontologist but I didn't get all the education I should have (it's a long and complicated story) I was party home educated and I self taught myself about Dinosaurs, but later on I joined an away university and passed a short course on Palaeontology when I was underage. I was considering going to university but life issues occurred that made me reconsider. Plus Paleontology isn't a permanent course taught in my country and I didn't really want to go abroad to the states to get taught it there either. Although rather ironically last year I noticed that several universities had Palaeontology courses, but how the UK Universities handled the Covid situation so badly I'm glad I didn't go, as it would most likely be little different from the short course I had all those years ago. |

| I remember watching Jurassic Park with my friends when I was 8 and I was so scared, nowadays I'm still afraid of them but I don't dislike them |
