Dinosaurs Alive! is a 2007 IMAX documentary produced by Giant Screen Films about various dinosaurs that inhabited the Earth between 251 and 65 Ma.The documentary features animals from the Triassic period of New Mexico to the Cretaceous period of Mongolia, as well as the American Museum of Natural History's research on both periods.
While the dinosaurs' modern-day surviving avian lineage (birds) are generally small due to the constraints of flight, many prehistoric dinosaurs (non-avian and avian) were large-bodied—the largest sauropod dinosaurs are estimated to have reached lengths of 39.7 meters (130 feet) and heights of 18 m (59 ft) and were the largest land animals of ...
This is a list of dinosaurs whose remains have been recovered from Asia, excluding India, which was part of a separate landmass for much of the Mesozoic (See List of Indian and Madagascan Dinosaurs for a list of Dinosaurs from India). This list does not include dinosaurs that live or lived after the Mesozoic era such as birds.
One of the largest dinosaurs known from reasonably complete remains Pellegrinisaurus: 1996 Allen Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian to Maastrichtian) Argentina: May have lived inland unlike other contemporaneous titanosaurs [51] Perijasaurus: 2022 La Quinta Formation (Early Jurassic to Middle Jurassic, Toarcian to Aalenian) Colombia

The results of this study, which were based on estimated real global biodiversity, showed that between 628 and 1,078 non-avian dinosaur species were alive at the end of the Cretaceous and underwent sudden extinction after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. [136]
Velociraptor (/ v ə ˌ l ɒ s ɪ ˈ r æ p t ər, v ə ˈ l ɒ s ɪ r æ p t ər /; [1] lit. ' swift thief ') is a genus of small dromaeosaurid dinosaurs that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous epoch, about 75 million to 71 million years ago.
Cebu, Philippines The last individuals in captivity died in London in 1943, after being caught in the wild in 1929. The date of extinction in the wild is unclear, but was likely caused by widespread deforestation in the 19th and 20th centuries. 2004 reports likely belonged to other subspecies subsequently introduced to the island.
