Also, my favourite fact is we know almost nothing about dinosaurs from jungles and mountains. Most of our knowledge comes from wetland and oceanic creatures because of the way fossils are formed.

This meme made me gasp loud enough that my girlfriend was worried something was wrong.
Then I had to explain that I’m 41 years old and was just shocked by a dinosaur fact.

Forty-one?! You’re practically a fossil!

To be fair, things can fossilise very quickly given ideal conditions.

Another fun fact (dino facts are the best facts): There are more “dinosaur” species alive today than there are mammal species.
11,000 bird species alive today (approx)
6,000 mammal species alive today (approx)

Who is “they” and why do they have “all bats”? Also, what’s an all bat?
On a more serious note, I didn’t know most bird species were bats. That’s wild.
