      I think it was squids, octopus and then dinosaurs.

      This is a tricky one!

      I think it’s fair to say that we don’t know the correct answers to a lot of the questions we’re asked on I’m a Scientist, so we look them up on the internet and check them against our own knowledge to make sure we agree with the answer.

      This one, however, has me stumped… Remember scientists may know a LOT about very specific specialised areas, but not a lot about a lot!

      I really don’t know the answer to your question. I know they were all around at the same time, but I don’t know which came first! Sorry! I’d be interested to know why Akshat thinks they came in that order… 🙂

      I didn’t know either- I’m a scientist does seem to be getting me a more rounded knowledge of science, I might do better at trivia quizes after this 😀
