What Color We re the Dinosaur Dinosaurs? s? All the animals in this book are extinct. That means they died out long ago. Now we know them only from their bones. People who study these fossil bones are called paleontologists. Paleontologists can tell the appearance of dinosaurs and other animals by the shape of their bones. We can only guess at their colors and markings. After all, who wo uld know about a zebra’s spectacular stripes from looking just at its b o n e s ? The reptile, bird and animal worlds have many colorful members. So, have fun. Make your dinosaurs any color you want. I did !
