Anybody who watched the Jurassic Park series of movies would believe that dinosaurs roamed rainforests. But that's far from true, according to scientists. The reason?

Did dinosaurs live in rainforests as shown in Jurassic Park films? No, because of this reason

Dinosaur T. Rex, who is also called the King of the Dinosaurs, was one terrifying creature that was roaming on the Earth with 60 razor-sharp teeth and 15 tonnes of weight, the researchers said in a new study.

For the first time, the palaeontologists stumbled upon a mostly complete dinosaur fossil buried in Mississippi, which has been called “incredibly unusual” by officials and is still 85 per cent buried from the time it was found in 2007.

Fossil remains of a giant salamander-like creature with sharp fangs, Gaiasia jennyae, have been revealed by scientists. The findings on the beast, that ruled the waters before dinosaurs, have been published in the journal Nature on Wednesday.

Scientists have discovered one of the oldest known grapes in a fossilised form which shows they spread far and wide after the extinction of dinosaurs. So, if you are a fan of snacking on raisins or sipping your pain or happiness through a glass of wine, thank the extinction of dinosaurs for it.

Love grapes or wine? Thank extinction of dinosaurs for it

Palaeontologists have identified a new dinosaur species named Lokiceratops. Measuring about 22 feet (6.7 meters) in length and weighing around 11,000 pounds (5 metric tonnes), Lokiceratops stand out due to their crown-like elaborate headgear.

It has long been debated that birds were once dinosaurs with feathers, or, in other words, birds evolved from their giant ancestors- the feathered dinosaurs. In a recent fossil study, palaeontologists termed Yutyrannus hauli as the largest feathered dinosaur.

What comes to your mind when someone says mighty beast with puny arms? A Tyrannosaurus rex?. Well, the scary beast can now find some solace in the discovery of a new dinosaur species, Koleken inakayali, which could make its arms look relatively stronger in comparison.

The discovery of a large fossil in Wales, United Kingdom has helped scientists gain a better understanding of dinosaurs in the land of the dragon. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, suggest that not only did dinosaurs once walk on Welsh lands, but they were actually a part of a complex ecological system.

In a rare discovery, researchers have discovered the fossils of a completely new dinosaur species on the shoreline of Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. This rare find, which has been named Musankwa Sanyatiensis, is the fourth dinosaur species found in Zimbabwe.

If dinosaurs were alive today, undoubtedly, they would terrorise humans. But they're not. However, they did leave behind their closest living relatives: chickens.

A newly discovered species named Militocodon lydae, which is said to be around the size of a rat and weighs up to 455 grammes, walked the Earth just after the extinction of the dinosaurs and is part of a group of animals that gave rise to all modern hoofed mammals, including deer, cows and pigs, according to a recently published study.

Our conventional wisdom says all dinosaurs were cold-blooded. However, a new study has challenged this long-held notion, implying that they may have evolved themselves to become warm-blooded to overcome climate challenges.

Dinosaurs, the mighty beasts that once roamed the planet, are known for their reptilian appearance, or rather what we believe they looked like. For a long time, scientists have also speculated that dinosaurs were sluggish, cold-blooded creatures that, like lizards, depended on external heat sources to help regulate their body temperatures.

A team of palaeontologists believe they have found a set of fossilized footprints of one of the largest raptors in China. The set of five fossilised footprints of dinosaur species is as big as half of the length of a school bus.

Hindu deity Shiva 'the destroyer' has inspired the name of a titan dinosaur that roamed Argentina more than 90 million years ago. A fossil of the colossal creature named Bustingorrytitan Shiva was discovered late last year in western Argentina.

The world of palaeontology has found a new member. Palaeontologists in Argentina have unveiled a new species of Titanosaur named Titanomachya gimenezi from the late Cretaceous Epoch, a period between 66 to 145 million years ago.

Chinese researchers have published a paper claiming to have found a prehistoric tapeworm partially intact inside a sample of 100-million-year-old amber. The mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber was discovered in Myanmar.

This 100mn-year-old creature found in amber once lived inside dinosaurs

The giant sail-backed dinosaur, Spinosaurus, might've hunted in the shallow waters like a heron, not in deep waters, as previous studies suggested. Spinosaurus aegyptiacus was one of the largest predators ever to walk on Earth during the Cretaceous, the final period in the time of dinosaurs.

This giant sail-backed dinosaur's hunting style is creating a furore among palaeontologists

The planet Earth is still full of mysteries. The more we deep dive into its formation and composition, the more we are left spellbound and shocked. One such shocking episode in the history of Earth is of the Carnian pluvial period, in which, it is believed that our planet received continuous rain for millions of years.

It once rained for 2 million years on Earth and then dinosaurs reigned supreme

A man walking his dog found a bone, which turned out to be a 70-million-year-old dinosaur bone from a near-complete dinosaur fossil. Damien Boschetto, a 25-year-old man in France, came across a bone two years ago while walking his dog in a forest near Montouliers.

An asteroid hit Earth 65 million years ago and in one stroke, started a process that resulted in the elimination of 75 per cent of life on Earth over the next decade and ended the reign of dinosaurs.

An asteroid hit ended dinosaurs' reign. But did birds flourish because of it?

The skull of a massive sea monster, a 2-metre-long pliosaur, that was found along the Jurassic Coast is now on public display at the Etches Collection. Discovered near Kimmeridge Bay, the fossilised snout was extracted from a rapidly eroding cliff face, as reported by BBC.
