How do dinosaurs get their names?

• Dinosaurs generally are named after a characteristic body feature, after the place where they were found, or after a person involved in the discovery. Usually the name consists of two Greek or Latin words (or combinations); in order, these are the genus (plural, genera) and the species name.

Do dinosaurs still exist?

• Strictly speaking, dinosaurs still exist on Earth. As we’ve seen in many of our dinosaur pages, scientists now consider birds to be dinosaurs. This is because animals are grouped in ‘branches’. Because a group of dinosaurs ‘branched off’ and evolved into birds, they are still considered to be dinosaurs.
