Nobody has ever seen a dinosaur. The last dinosaur died about 60 million years
ago, a long time before there were any people on the earth. Nobody knows for
sure why they all died. The nearest living relatives of dinosaurs are birds.
Dinosaurs didn't all look the same. There were more than 5000 kinds. Some
were very small, but others were giant. The largest ones were bigger than any
other animals ever lived on land.
