In the Dragon Ball universe, Dinosaurs are alive and well on Earth.

[edit] Emperor Pilaf Saga
Shortly before meeting Yamcha, Chi-Chi encounters and kills a T-Rex by chopping off its head.
[edit] Fortuneteller Baba Saga
Krillin and Yamcha are chased by a T-Rex while training under Master Roshi for the next World Tournament. The appearance of this T-Rex is noticeably somewhat different than the ones that later appear in Dragon Ball Z.
[edit] Saiyan Saga
Gohan constantly finds himself being chased by a hungry T-Rex. He also makes friends with an injured brontosaurus, but it is eaten by the T-Rex. Pretty soon, Gohan is able to easily outrun the T-Rex and slice off pieces of its tail to cook and eat. After a while, it's Gohan who's chasing the T-Rex around. Gohan also observes a large herd of triceratops while fending for himself in the wild.
[edit] Namek Saga
During a series of filler episodes involving Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma on a fake Namek, a gigantic dinosaur picks up a Dragon ball and carries it into a lake full of acid, where it is killed. It is later revealed that both the dinosaur and the acid were an illusion, as was everything else on the fake Namek, as they were imaginary quests constructed by the devious Raiti and Zaacro.
[edit] Captain Ginyu Saga
Bulma is chased by a T-Rex on Namek, but it is killed by Krillin and Gohan.
[edit] Frieza Saga
Bulma appears to be chased by a huge pack of T-rexes and triceratops, but it turns out they are only running from Frieza's immense power as he transforms.
[edit] Cell Games Saga
During the panic that's gripping the people, two dinosaurs (apparently in business suits, as well) can be seen panicking.
[edit] Great Saiyaman Saga
Maraikoh appears to be a dinosaur, though he also resembles a dragon. He advances into the quarterfinals and beats Frogue, but is defeated by Goku in the semifinals. He is later seen during the Kid Buu Saga.
Gohan and Goten own a pet dinosaur named Chobi. Chobi has a mother, and also a father named Toh Toh. Chobi is kidnapped by greedy circus man Mr. Musuka, and Gohan, as Saiyaman, attempts to save him, but during a struggle between Saiyaman and Videl, Chobi calls his parents and they attack the city. Gohan is forced to knock Toh Toh out to stop him attacking Videl. The family is reunited, and Mr. Musuka is arrested for stealing an officer's handgun.
Also Goten finds two dinosaurs while Gohan is training. The first is a baby who reminds him of Icarus. The second is big, and whips Goten away with his tail. Gohan thinks Goten could have been killed, but at that point was unaware that he was just as powerful as him, able to turn Super Saiyan.
[edit] Kid Buu Saga
Several dinosaurs are seen giving Goku energy for his Spirit Bomb.
Also, Goku decided to spend most of his day watching over some Pterodactyl eggs (as they were nearing hatching), and he also has to move some animals that might threaten the eggs survival away (some of which included a dueling Triceratops and T-rex, whom, after being moved to the island, were too confused and bewildered to continue dueling). A storm nearly resulted in the eggs being killed, so Goku needed to earn it's parent's trust to protect them until hatching (they won't let him get too close to the nest as they think he will steal them.).
[edit] Tree of Might
While searching for the Dragon Balls Gohan is chased by another hungry T-Rex during the opening sequence of the movie. The scene heavily resembles the chase scene from the anime, which was featured in the first Dragon Ball Z opening (this scene replaces it in the movie).
[edit] Broly: Second Coming
The monster that attacks Zalador and Coco's village is a dinosaur who looks similar to the one from the fake Namek. Goten, Trunks, and Videl set a trap for it, resulting in Goten and Trunks harassing the monster and they and the inhabitants of the village cook and eat it.
[edit] Trivia
- When Vegeta unleashes a devastating attack on Recoome in the episode No Refuge From Recoome, Krillin says "If Vegeta knew he was so powerful, how come he almost let us go the way of the dinosaurs?" However, dinosaurs aren't extinct in Dragon Ball Z. Though he may have referring to their "original" extinction.
