Is there a specific theme? I haven’t been on this thread in some time…

You can choose one of the chapters underneath the title. There are 10 questions per title and the person who gets the answer right chooses the next question

Well, I guess that makes that the first question of a new category, “prehistoric life”, but no one got a correct answer. I guess I am handing question number 2 to ChIkEn NuGrEt.

I mean, at least two people gave correct answers to your question - you just said they were wrong.

 

[Birdsage]

Oops. You’re right; Dinosaurs Alive and Prehistoric Fury have featured the animal (not Dinosaur Train, though). I meant that neither was the expected answer. I thought it would be easier to look up; the top result for the search for “tawa dinosaur game” is Flap to the Future, just above Prehistoric Fury. Anyway, anyone may ask the next question; I was just trying to revive this thread.

Here's a question for you:

When did non-avian dinosaurs die out?

 

[Birdsage]

I know the answer, and it’s so easy I’m not going to answer.

 

[Dassie rat]

That's OK, Birdsage

 

[ChIkEn NuGrEt]

Here's a question for you:

When did non-avian dinosaurs die out?

66 MYA

 

[Dassie rat]

Sorry, ChiEn NuGgrET. I suspect most people will say that, but according to various palaeontologists, that's not true.

Hmm, you said non-avian.

 

[Dassie rat]

Yes, I said non-avian. Please note that the answer isn't well known, but is based on dating fossil material

 

[ChIkEn NuGrEt]

Everything else I can find is mostly a mix of clickbait, controversial studies with a larger opposition, and people who haven’t fully looked into the topic.

 

[Dassie rat]

I looked up some websites based on something I heard many years ago. The dinosaurs concerned were hadrosaurs.

 

[Birdsage]

Never heard of anything like this from any reputable source. The only sites I know that say otherwise are unscientific sites that say that they went extinct a few thousand years ago, which is obviously wrong. I’m sticking with 66 mya.

 

[Dassie rat]

I'm not talking about cryptozoology, so the non-avian dinosaurs died out more than a few thousand years ago.

 

[Birdsage]

I know you weren’t talking about pseudoscientific claims; I was just mentioning that I haven’t heard of any realistic claims about the extinction, other than 66 and sometimes 65 mya.
If some other time were more accepted, I would probably know.

 

[Dassie rat]

As I said, it is poorly known and depends on whether the fossils were dated properly.

 

[Birdsage]

In that case, the answer could probably still be 66 mya.
