Do you know? These animals Turns 3 Not Dinosaurs!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Dinosaurs! Who is not interested in the prehistoric creatures on this one. We often see the dinosaurs in films or documentaries on television. But many people do not know that there was some creature known as a dinosaur, but it was not.

The scientists studied a dinosaur from the only thing left of them, namely their bones. Scientists look at these bones and then classifying it as an existing genus. And in the case of the dinosaurs, there are two things to note. That skull and legs. And this is an animal that is not a dinosaur!

# 1. Dimetrodon

In general, Dimetrodon is the proper description of a dinosaur. Lizard, odd-shaped large and has sharp teeth. But in fact, the animal appears to have more in common with mammals than the dinosaurs. It is seen from the skull Dimetrodon. At Dinosaur skull, there are 4 holes whose mother, including eye and nose holes. It is known for Diapsid. While in Dimetrodon there are only three holes, otherwise known as Synapsid. Another thing to consider is, the position of the feet Dimetrodon who stands beside her. Unlike the dinosaurs which position the right leg under his body.

# 2. pterosaurs

We know that birds are descended from dinosaurs. Then how pterosaurs? They are not flying dinosaur? The answer is no. Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs. Although they are flying reptiles, but pterosaurs were not dinosaurs. The fact they are separate since quite a long time. Because pterosaurs could not walk like a dinosaur should. But Pterosaurus coexisted with dinosaurs before extinction. Last Pterosaurus life is kind of Quetzalcoatlus, a pterosaur with a height approximately equal to a giraffe, and can fly.

# 3. Marine reptiles

And what about the marine reptiles? They are bulky and body shape resembles a dinosaur. Unfortunately, marine reptiles are not dinosaurs. Marine reptiles like plesiosaur, Mosasaurusdan Ichtyosaurus not a dinosaur like the suspect. For a while scientists know that the fact that dinosaurs living only on land. Thus making plesiosaurus like Loch Ness monster was not a dinosaur.
