Dinosaurs, the colossal reptilian marvels, first made their stomping entrance during the Triassic period, roughly between 245 and 233.23 million years ago, and quickly dominated the terrestrial scene. Some of them evolved into feathered dinosaurs, a.k.a birds, that proudly makes them part of one of the most diverse vertebrate groups, boasting over 10,700 species. Fossils of these avian and non-avian dinosaurs have been discovered across every continent, a testament to their dispersion.

Dinosaurs comprised herbivores and carnivores alike, all of whom were believed to lay eggs, many even built nests. Dinosaur sizes varied enormously, from small species measuring about 50 centimetres to colossal sauropods reaching lengths of up to 39.7 meters. The captivating term "dinosaur" was coined in 1842 by Sir Richard Owen, and the creatures have since been the stars of museum exhibits worldwide and stamped their unforgettable presence in popular culture.
