THE DINOSAURS WERE A LARGE GROUP of reptiles that were the dominant land vertebrates (animals with
backbones), for most of the Mesozoic era(245-65 million years
ago). They appeared some 250 million years ago and were
distinguished from other scaly , egg laying reptiles by an
important feature ; dinosaurs had erect limb stance .This
enabled them to keep their bodies well above the ground ,
unlike the sprawling and semi sprawling stance of other
reptiles.The head of the dinosaur's femur (thigh bone) fitted
into a socket in its pelvis (hip bone), producing efficient and
mobile locomotion .Dinosaurs are categorized into two groups
according to the structure of their pelvis ;Saurischian
(lizard hipped) and orinithischian (bird hipped) dinosaurs .In
the case of most Saurischians ., the pubis (part of the
pelvis)jutted forward, while in ornithischians it slanted back
, parallel to the ischium (another part of the pelvis). This
enormous variety of dinosaur species equals that of mammals
.The Dinosaur were the most successful land vertebrates ever,
and survived for 165 million years , until their extinction
65 million years ago.
