Are you a dino-pro like the Flintstones?

Yabba-dabba-do you know your dino trivia?

 

OK, full disclosure – the Flintstones may have taken a few historic liberties when it comes to living alongside dinosaurs. The Stone Age began somewhere between 3.3 and 3.4 million years ago, after the age of the dinosaurs had come and gone. By the time Fred and Wilma would have arrived on the planet, the world we be home to some of the first iterations of mammals and animals that we know today. For example, the wooly mammoth would have been rampant across northern Asia, parts of Europe and the northern parts of North America. 

Still, it's much more fun to imagine that the local stegosaurus could be relied on as a trusty fire engine, or that a pterodactyl could be used as a can opener. In the spirit of the fun, we've compiled some dinosaur trivia for you to show off those science skills. Are you a dino-pro like the Flintstones? Put your smarts to the test!

  1. What is the name of this three-horned dinosaur?
  2. True or False: All animals alive during this time were considered dinosaurs.
  3. This dinosaur's name literally means "speedy thief". With these hands for grabbing and strong back legs for running, it's well named! What is it called?
  4. This long-necked dinosaur is often mentioned in the Flintstones, either at the quarry as a crane or at dinner as a steak! What is the name of this dinosaur?
  5. This dinosaur is easy to recognize by the plates that stick straight up out of its back. Do you know what it's called?
  6. True or False: the word "dinosaur" means "terrible lizard."
  7. If a dinosaur is considered an "herbivore", it eats...?
  8. Do you know this armored dinosaur's name? Here's a hint: you may want to watch your ankles around this dino, since he has a distinct club tail that could hurt!
  9. With a brain twice the size of his fellow dinosaurs, teeth the size of bananas, an average height of about 6 meters and a terrible temper, it's no wonder this dino is call the "Tyrant Lizard King." What's its real name?
  10. True or False: There are currently 13 states (including the District of Columbia) in the United States that have a state dinosaur.
  11. BONUS QUESTION: What kind of dinosaur is Dino?

10/11. For the record, Dino, in his first appearance, could talk. Did they ever explain why they took that ability away from Dino?

The dinosaur formerly known as brontosaurus is now called apatosaurus, and the word dinosaur means "thunder lizard", not "terrible lizard". Din means noise. It was believed that dinosaurs made a lot of noise when they walked because they were so huge.
Love your quizzes!

I also thought that dinosaur was thunder lizard not terrible lizard.

I forgot what "dinosaur" meant, but I knew it wasn't "terrible lizard". If that one was right, I would have had a perfect score.

In Latin it is terrible lizard. In Greek it is Monstrous lizard

11/11 - and there are 3 I never would have known about, but my son was really into dinosaurs in his grade school years, and talked the stuff he'd learned all the time.

I don't know whether to be happy I answered all of these correctly or worried that I would know them all.

11/11. I love dinosaurs, so they were all easy, except for the last two, which I had to guess at.
Me too! I never heard of state dinosaurs, but now I wonder which states have one?

How did you get this in color? Most ABC era ads are B&W on YouTube, even though they were color animated!
Just lucky, I guess!
