When I was a kid and learned about dinosaurs and other various prehistoric creatures, I was of course curious if we had any dinos I live. Now, as a child, my mind assumed these prehistoric monsters lived in a house, like me. Shopped at a grocery store, like me, and went to school, like me. As I got older I learned that s not the case. But the question remains, were there dinosaurs where I lived? So, did dinosaurs once roam the Hawkeye State?
Iowa did have dinosaurs as we ve come to know em, but.
I hate to burst your dino-bubble, but Iowa spent most of its pre-human history covered with water, according to history site Thought Co. Don t despair though, this doesn t mean paleontologists had no luck finding prehistoric critters in Iowa. There have been several creatures linked to living here millions of years ago according to scientists.
