Recent discoveries suggest that modern day Zambia and Tanzania in Africa may have been the early birthplace of the dinosaur long before they roamed the rest of the earth, however most failed to survive a mass extinction some 252 million years ago at the end of the Permian period. Today large swathes of Africa remain unexplored so doubtlessly the forthcoming years will lead to new discoveries as to the extent of the reach of dinosaurs across the continent which you may wish to explore when volunteering in Africa as some of the sites are becoming available to the public.
We're working on making this a comprehensive and complete A to Z list of Africa dinosaurs together with information and pictures about each of the dinosaurs, but it's still a work in progress and you can probably tell as we've only just reached African dinosuars beginning with the letter 'B'! In the meantime, check out if there's a real, living dinosaur still alive in Africa? Find out about the Mokele Mbembe
