Dinosaurs
Explore the prehistoric world with Dinosaurs quizzes covering famous species, anatomy, and fossil evidence. You’ll review key time periods, habitats, and how scientists classify dinosaurs, from theropods to sauropods.
Quizzes
Theropods vs sauropods vs ornithischians
Sort the dinosaur family tree by learning what sets theropods, sauropods, and ornithischians apart. This mixed-difficulty quiz focuses on body plans, diets, and hallmark traits so you can classify dinosaurs with confidence. Each question gives 4 options and there’s no timer—take your time and think it through.
Famous dinosaurs by diet and teeth
Test how well you can match famous dinosaurs to their diets by reading the clues in their teeth and jaws. From leaf-shredding batteries to bone-crushing bite marks, each question sharpens your ability to infer what a dinosaur ate. Expect a mixed spread of easy recognitions and trickier look-alikes.
Dinosaur eras: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous
Travel through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous with questions on key dinosaurs, timelines, and major evolutionary shifts. You’ll sort who lived when, what changed across eras, and which fossils define each chapter of the Mesozoic. Pick your question count and difficulty, then play at your own pace with no timer.

Quick dinosaur facts to know
Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era (Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous), and they ranged from small, feathered runners to massive long-necked herbivores.
Many modern birds are considered living dinosaurs because they evolved from theropod ancestors, which is why feathers and bird-like bones matter in fossil studies.
Tips for better scores
- Learn the main groups (theropods, sauropods, ornithischians) and a few examples of each
- Watch for clues in teeth and hips to infer diet and classification
- Use time-period keywords (Triassic/Jurassic/Cretaceous) to narrow choices
- Don’t over-rely on size; many famous dinosaurs weren’t the biggest in their group
- Review common fossil terms like formation, strata, and excavation
