The Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous World
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 April 2025
It’s hard these days to avoid dinosaurs. Kids’ bedrooms are commonly full of toy dinosaurs, tourist spots like Niagara Falls feature dinosaur mini-golf (Figure 12.1), and the Jurassic Park movie franchise continues to delight many movie goers. Most readers of this book probably had both toys and books about dinosaurs growing up. These depictions, as well as more scientific documentaries such as the BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs, consistently show them as quick, smart, agile, and above all, dangerous, but this view of dinosaurs is actually quite recent. This chapter focuses on the evolution and lifestyles of dinosaurs that dominated the Mesozoic Era.
