Little kids have 'unspoiled' imaginations. We adults are not worried about letting the water out of a tub but tots can imagine draining out of the tub with the water when the plug is pulled. Because there are no living dinosaurs (which means terrible lizard) it is necessary to use an active imagination to 'fully' appreciate them.

I suppose because they are completely different species from ones we see today. yeah I suppose you can argue that birds and modern reptiles evolved from dinosaurs etc.. but dinosaurs are fascinating and a mystery especially how they died out. As well the dinosaur periods are implented into elementary curriculum. They are big, small, scaly etc..and who doesnt like a tyrannosaurus or velociraptor?! ..especially when they star these guys in movies like Jurassic Park.
Why do you ask, b.t.w.?

Well I used to like dinosaurs too. I don't know it could be fantasy and historical elements.
I feel like Turkey Dinosaurs now though :(

I think its the same as the santa situation for them, they never get to see one in person and this means there imagination can run wild. As us as adults know, no human came face to face with a real dino but if you ask any kid what cavemen spend the day doing guess who will be in the scene. Young kid all dream of being heroes and what can be more heroic than clubbing a t-rex over the nut with a cartoon bone.

i loved them but i didnt know why, i think it was because the idea that they lived before me, and that they were HUGE creatures realy got me intrested, plus the film jurrassic park only helped alot in my obbsession for dinosaurs, i found them really intresting, i would collect pictures the whole works of them that was only 8-9 years ago, my little brothers who are about that age are worrying about there PS3 games, back in my day i didnt have them!. Plus dinosaurs reeli helped me day dream more vividly as i used to image them eating me, lol.
