How did dinosaurs entertain themselves? – Hornstrkier
Well, we know they didn’t have books to read, TV to watch, or video games to play, and I’m pretty sure Hornstrkier wasn’t thinking along those lines when he asked his question. I’ll bet he was wondering if dinosaurs engaged in play. The quick, to-the-point answer is – we don’t know, and we will never know.
What we can do, however, is look at the modern-day relatives of dinosaurs to make some educated guesses. Play behavior has been observed in turtles, lizards, and crocodiles, as well as in birds. So we can deduce that at least some dinosaurs probably did play.
Of course, Webosaurs play ALL the time! Why don’t you challenge yourself and some friends to see how many different games you can play in Webosaurs today? Have fun!
