In the middle of the 19th century, a huge comb-like monster was seen in the sea - perhaps the last marine dinosaur.
Monsters »Many centuries ago, sailors from time to time saw terrible monsters - large, like whales, but in appearance resembled reptiles.
The ships, the sailors of which tried to catch them, were sunk by these mysterious sea creatures, about which no one managed to find out anything.
Currently, some monsters have been seen in some lakes in the UK and Australia. It seems fantastic, but there are people who believe that now on our planet there are still descendants of dinosaurs - giant reptiles that inhabited the Earth many millions of years before the first people appeared.
The first reptiles and ancestors of dinosaurs
Over time, the oldest amphibians changed. They no longer threw eggs into the water, but laid eggs in the sand on land. These were the first reptiles. They spread to all continents. Among these ancient reptiles is the ancestor of the dinosaurs moschops.
Very heavy
Some dinosaurs became too large: their body weight forced them to live immersed in water, where it was easier for them to move.
Who was one of the first dinosaurs on two legs?
Euparkery, small and agile, like a lizard, was one of the first dinosaurs. He learned to run on two legs and thus could use his front paws to grab prey.Euparkeria often attacked animals that were even larger than himself, and prevailed over them.
