Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #19: Spinosaurus is often thought of as a specialist fish-eater. However, this may not be the case since relatives have been found to diverge their diet to other things such as Pterosaurs and even other dinosaurs. Despite this, it is more likely the Spinosaurs simply scavenged rather than hunted for themselves.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #20: Tyrannosaurus was long thought to have been the largest theropod (and land carnivore) ever to exist. However, this record was broken first by Giganotosaurus, and then by Spinosaurus. Spinosaurus still retains this title, however it is entirely likely an even bigger theropod may one day be discovered.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #21: Only one specimen of Carnotaurus has ever been found, however it is so complete scientists know a lot about it.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #22: Despite what a lot of people say, Jurassic Park's dinosaurs aren't that inaccurate. The only inaccuracies are the Raptors, Dilophosaurus and Gallimimus. And even with the Gallimimus, the only inaccuracy is the lack of feathers, however Gallimimus hasn't been found with any sort of plumage.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #23: Brontosaurus is widely accept as an invalid genus. Recently, some scientists have proposed it could be valid, but it is largely disagreed with so, really, there is no such thing as "Brontosaurus". The correct name is Apatosaurus.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #25: Compsognathus was once classified as a dinosaur-like lizard rather than a true Dinosaur. This is because it was thought to be too small to be a dinosaur.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #26: The most well preserved dinosaur is called Scipionyx. All that is found of it are a nest full of hatchlings but these hatchlings are so well preserved their skin, heart and even windpipe are preserved.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #27: It is argued how Brachiosaurus' heart dealt with the pressures of pumping blood up its long neck. One theory is that they had extremely high blood pressure, another is that they had a large heart. There's even a theory that they had more than one heart. It is more likely, however, it was both that they had a large heart and high blood pressure.

Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #28: It was once thought that even adult Tyrannosaurus had feathers, however the main consensus is that they were featherless with perhaps having a covering of down when they were young.
