Dinosaurs did not live on a blank page. These larger scenes put them in the world they actually knew: tree ferns, conifers, volcanoes and quiet water.
There was no grass for most of the age of dinosaurs, which is why you will not find any in these drawings.

Learn While You Color: Prehistoric scenes
The world dinosaurs lived in
There was no grass for most of the age of dinosaurs. Landscapes were filled with ferns, horsetails, cycads and conifers, and flowering plants only became common late in the Cretaceous Period. The continents were also in different positions from today.
Volcanoes and dinosaurs
Volcanoes were active throughout the age of dinosaurs, just as they are today. Enormous volcanic eruptions in what is now India were happening around the time the non-bird dinosaurs died out, alongside a large asteroid impact.
Reading an ancient landscape
Geologists work out what a place looked like by studying the rock itself. River sands, swamp muds and desert dunes all leave different patterns, and fossil pollen shows which plants were growing nearby.
