Dinosaurs were animals that ranged in form from reptile- like to bird-like. Dinosaurs dominated the world for over 160 million years, first appearing approximately 230 million years ago. 65 million years ago, all non-avian dinosaurs became extinct. Dinosaurs still exist today in the line of birds (avian dinosaurs). The first dinosaur was recognized in the 19th century, and the term "dinosaur" was formally named by the scientist Richard Owen in 1842. The name is derived from the Greek words deinos ("terrible" or "fearfully great") and sauros ("lizard" or "reptile").
