Camp Trivia
Maybe not all of us love Dinosaurs as much as Ross Geller
from FRIENDS does; but that doesn’t mean we aren’t intrigued by the thought of
creatures as massive as the buildings we live in. Man has always been
fascinated by every inhabitant on planet Earth, whether existing or extinct.
Dinosaurs first appeared on Earth 230 million years ago, during the Triassic
period and were the dominant species from the Jurassic to the Cretaceous
period.
Although the word dinosaur means terrible lizard; the name
is not really apt for dinosaurs and lizards are not from the same group of
reptiles. The most primitive of these types, Eoraptor, was a small meat-eating
dinosaur, but dinosaurs are known to be Herbivores, Omnivores or Carnivores.
Since the discovery of dinosaur fossils in the 19th
century, interest in the species spread like wildfire and now, there are a lot
of museums and parks dedicated all over the world to these fantastic
reptiles.
In India, we now have the Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park
which is a treasure spreading across a few hundred hectares in Gandhinagar,
Gujarat. It is apparently the second largest hatchery of dinosaur eggs in the
world and till date, it is the only dinosaur museum in the country. The park
comprises of various attractions such as a zoo, an amphitheater, a massive
skeleton of sea mammals etc.
Trailblazers-The Outdoor School, conducts trips to this
stunning park which can help children and adults alike to feed their curiosity
and learn about a species so overwhelming they leave everyone awestruck.
