Daily Dino Fact

Hey Grandpa Rexxy!

"Q: Who is older – Horns, Stretch, Rexxy or Pterry? -Rahuu



A: That’s a great question Rahuu! Keep in mind that the Webosaurs characters are based off dinosaurs, and exactly what species each one is isn’t entirely clear. For example, Horns is closest to being a Triceratops but could be any number of Ceratopsians. Stretch, likewise, could be any number of Sauropod species. So, to answer this question we’ll have to consider each character a part of a group. Horns represents the Ceratopsians, Stretch represents the Sauropods, Pterry reps the Pterosaurs and Rexxy reps the Theropods.


Let’s take a look at when each group first showed up on the Earth. Remember that dinosaurs existed during the Mesozoic era (defined as the time of the dinosaurs). The Mesozoic era had three periods – first was the Triassic, then the Jurassic and finally the Cretaceous. Dinosaurs showed up at the beginning of the Triassic and died at the end of the Cretaceous.


Horns/Ceratopsians – Existed during the Cretaceous period


Stretch/Sauropods – Late Triassic through the Cretaceous


Pterry/Pterosaurs – Late Triassic through the Cretaceous


Rexxy/Theropods – Early Triassic through the Cretaceous


Rexxy and the Theropods are the longest living group of dinosaurs in the Mesozoic. Theropod dinosaurs are, by fact, the only meat-eating dinosaurs (Pterosaurs aren’t technically dinosaurs). In any food chain, you have the plant eaters and the meat eaters. It would make sense that the meat-eaters would have been around the longest.

So there you have it! Rexxy is the oldest. Maybe that’s why he’s the leader?"

Funny fact,eh?
