Answer: Barney

The name of the show is "Barney and Friends". Barney is supposed to be Tyrannosaurus rex. Other dinosaurs on the show are Baby Bop, a green protoceratops, and B.J., a yellow protoceratops. The other choices come from names of real dinosaurs.

9. Which of these is NOT technically a dinosaur?

Answer: Pterodactyl

The pterodactyl was not a dinosaur, though we have sometimes been led to think so. Part of the definition of a dinosaur is that it needs an upright stance, which the pterodactyl or "pterosaur" did not have.

10. Scientists do not know what exact colors the dinosaurs' skins were.

Answer: True

Some dinosaur experts have been able to discover the texture of their skin, but not the color. Fossils and other records tell scientists a lot about dinosaurs--but not everything!
