definition:	A dinosaur is an animal that lived on the earth a very long time ago. Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some of them looked like big lizards. Some dinosaurs were the largest animals that ever lived on land, but some dinosaurs were small and ate only plants. We saw many bones of dinosaurs at the museum.

Word History

Dinosaur is formed from two Greek words that together mean "terrible lizard."
