Dino Trivia!!!!!!!!

[Primeval12]

In this game I give you five dinosaur related questions and the first person who gets them all corrcet gets to ask five questions of their own.  (For the multiple choice questions you don't have to write the letter just the answer). It's ok to google (or Bing) the answers.

1. Name the two species of Spinosaurus?

2. Name the three dinosaurs that we know the color of?

3. What is the most well-known Dinosaur?

A: Spinosaurus

B: Tyrannosaurus

C: Stegosaurus

D: Triceratops

4. What is the name of the smallest known dinosaur?

5. What kind of dinosaur was venomus?

[ITewan]

1. aegyptiacus
    maroccanus

2. Sinornithosaurus, Microraptor, sinosauropteryx

3. Tyrannosaurus

4. Epidendrosaurus

5. Sinornithosaurus

[Primeval12]

Nope, you got questions 2 and 3 wrong, but go ahead and give it another shot.

[DinoToyForum]

It isn't clear what you are asking for Q3. By 'best known' do you mean: 'has the most fossil material'? or 'has been most studied'? or 'is most widely recognised/known by the general public'? 

[ITewan]

I think he means the general public

[DinoToyForum]

I think he means the general public

But then the answer would be Tyrannosaurus, and he said that's incorrect 

[Gryphoceratops]

There are technically 4 dinosuars we know colors for.  Sinosauropteryx, microraptor, achiornis and archaeopteryx (one feather).  Also it is known from an edmontosaurus(?) mummy that it had banding pattern on the tail. 

Psittacosaurus is really really well known from hundreds of specimens. 

[Himmapaan]

Also, claims regarding venomous Sinornithosaurus are highly dubious and have received short shrift by the scientific consensus.

Good answer. 

[Gryphoceratops]

i didn't even see the rest of these.  Yeah sinornithosaurus wasn't venomous.  I know a guy who worked with the specimen.  If you ask him about it having venom he will laugh in ur face.

At the very least, the claims of being venomous are indeterminate at best.  Some grooves on the teeth don't in and of themselves mean anything.

So the closest answer might actually be 'toxic dinosaurs' in which case pitohui, ifrita, little shrikethrush, African spur-wing goose and common quail (sometimes). And just so that people don't start complaining at me, I'm just pulling the list from Wikipedia (below). These birds don't produce toxins themselves, but sequester toxins from their food.

I think someone here is going to learn that overall we are a pedantic lot

[Primeval12]

From what I herd it was venomus, sorry about that.

never follow the herd, always check your sources!

Yeah they publish a lot of silly things on the internet. 

[Primeval12]

Actually i learned it from Planet Dinosaur

Yes, that was one of the few 'huh?' moments in what was otherwise a really excellent series.

I actually just saw that episode for the first time--it probably speaks to the theme that the show is trying to have--showing the cutting edge new discoveries. And apparently forgetting to look up whether those discoveries have been confirmed or supported. Which hearkens back to the original BBC dino series (80 foot Liopleurodon).  Sometimes the producers become excessively credulous to make a better story I guess.

[Logo7]

Actually, Sinornithosaurs was discovered not to be venomus only after Planet Dinosaur was made. Same with that Lioplureodon too.
