Les reptiles terrestres ou dinosauriens (de «deinos», terrible; «sauros» lézard) sont les plus impressionnants par leur taille et leur étrangeté. À eux seuls, ils forment un monde extrêmement diversifié qui, pendant toute la durée des temps secondaires, s'est étendu à la surface entière du globe [...] Les dinosauriens étaient [...] de haute taille et propres à la marche et à la course. Certains sautaient ou bondissaient comme de véritables mammifères [...] D'après la constitution de leurs membres, on divise les dinosauriens en trois sous-ordres : les «sauropodes», les «théropodes» et les «ornithopodes». 2, record 1, French, - dinosaure
