A Little Background on Dinosaurs

Before we jump into the jokes, let’s go over some dinosaur basics for context. Dinosaurs were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for over 160 million years, from the Late Triassic period (around 230 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (66 million years ago). There were many different species, ranging greatly in size, diet, and appearance. Some quick facts:

• The word “dinosaur” means “terrible lizard” and was coined in 1842 by British paleontologist Richard Owen.
• Dinosaurs are divided into two orders – Saurischia (“lizard-hipped”) and Ornithischia (“bird-hipped”).
• Well-known dinosaur species include the Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, and Brontosaurus.
• The extinction of non-avian dinosaurs (birds evolved from small theropod dinosaurs) is thought to have been caused by an asteroid impact approximately 66 million years ago.

Now that we’ve covered some basic background, let’s get prehistoric with these dinosaur jokes!
