1. All dinosaurs lived at the same time.

Explanation

The statement that all dinosaurs lived at the same time is false. Dinosaurs existed over a span of millions of years, from the Triassic period to the Cretaceous period. They did not all coexist at the same time. Different species of dinosaurs lived during different time periods, and some even became extinct before others appeared.
