How well do you know dinosaurs?

A long time ago (I’m not going to tell you when, that’s part of the questions hihi), dinosaurs walked the Earth. And they trod it well because there are still plenty of traces and fossils scattered everywhere (the dinosaurs really messed up and didn’t tidy up anything). Thanks to these fossils, we were able to get to know them. And today it is thanks to these fossils that I can offer you this quiz on these large reptiles.
