• Often seen near 🐉 Dragon, 🐲 Dragon Face and 🦖 T-Rex.

Dinosaurs are culturally very young: the word was coined by Richard Owen in 1842. Their popularity is owed to the American Bone Wars of the nineteenth century and later to Hollywood.

Colloquially a “dinosaur” is someone hopelessly out of date – an image that is factually crooked: dinosaurs existed for around 165 million years, many times the span of human history so far, and, as birds, still do.
