The World of the Dinosaurs - Symphony of Science, Alice Roberts, Dallas Campbell

Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs

Di-Di-Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs weren’t just giant lizards

But a truly unique kind of reptile

Dinosaurs roamed

For more than 150 million years

Dinosaurs roamed

In amazing shapes and sizes

Very few left evidence of their existence

And those bones never cease to fascinate us

The more we find

The more complete our understanding

Utterly awe-inspiring

The world of the dinosaurs

There are always new discoveries out there

Waiting to be found

Tyrannosaurus, the largest flesh eater

The world has ever seen

Dinosaurs — all the dinosaurs-

Followed a well trod trail to oblivion

Rock layers span the age of dinosaurs

The deeper the layer, the older the rock

At the top — rock from the Cretaceous

Below that, the Jurassic

And near the bottom, red Triassic badlands

When dinosaurs first appeared

65 million years ago

A meteorite smashed into the Earth

Hurtling toward our planet

At a hundred thousand kilometers a second

If we’d never found their bones,

We wouldn’t ever have known

These ancient animals ever existed
