Did Dinosaurs Live Where You Live Now?

Today, we live on one of seven continents—maybe North America, Europe, Asia, or somewhere else. But did you know that 230 million years ago, Earth looked completely different?

One Big Supercontinent

Back then, all the land on Earth was connected in one huge piece called Pangaea. Instead of seven separate continents, there was just one giant landmass! That would have made traveling from one place to another a whole lot easier—even for a dinosaur.

Dinosaurs didn’t just live in one area—they lived all over Pangaea. From snowy mountaintops to tropical forests, they roamed every part of the supercontinent.

How the Continents Split

During the 165 million years that dinosaurs lived on Earth, Pangaea began to break apart. Slowly, piece by piece, it became the seven continents we know today.

That’s why we find dinosaur fossils on every continent—even Antarctica! Wherever you live now, chances are dinosaurs once lived there too.

Dinosaurs in Your Backyard?

It might sound silly, but it’s true: a dinosaur family could have once walked where your house, school, or playground is today! The ground beneath your feet is full of history—and who knows what might still be hidden there?
