In this time of year, there are a number of cards issued. They cover a range of topics, from the mundane, such as the most popular type of burger served on a well-known international chain Burger to more interesting as the list of most searched terms on the Internet, a favorite of celebrities, most of CD sales, the most successful film of the year and so on. We are all Dinosaur, for many years, kept a diary of dead animals that the students and the children we met asked. We recorded the number of emails on the prehistoric animals that we have received. We have generated statistics on visits to our website and conduct their own research to build a picture of what the long-dead creatures are still "hot" and which ones are not.

in quite a period between Christmas and New Year we put together all the material from our various research sources, and then we publish a list of the top ten most popular prehistoric animals. There are only two criteria that animals must meet to be considered for our list. First, the animal must be extinct, existing types are not allowed. Second, animals and imagined creatures are not allowed. For example, when Harry Potter film "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" came out back in 2007, we met a lot of students at our school trips and school visits that they wanted to talk about this mythical creature. Unfortunately, the Phoenix as an imaginary animal can be included in the top ten most popular list.
