Every Glass Of Water You Have Ever Drunk Is Almost 100% Dinosaur Urine
The dinosaurs ruled the Earth for a long, long time
Here’s an unsettling thought - every glass of water you have ever drunk is composed almost entirely of water molecules which have already passed through a dinosaur.
Basically, you are drinking dinosaur urine.
Water on our planet has cycled between the surface and the seas many times - and the dinosaurs ruled our planet for so long that almost all the water molecules we encounter have passed through a dinosaur at least once.
Almost every single molecule every glass you drink has passed through a dinosaur, according to science YouTube channel Curious Minds.
Curious Minds says, ‘Dinosaurs had a long time to drink water. The Mesozoic era – the reign of the dinosaurs – lasted for 186 million years.
‘That gave them time to drink a lot of water.

By contrast, homo sapiens has only been around for 200,000 years, scientists believe.
Curious Minds says this means that in every glass of water you drink, there is a LOT of water which has passed through a dinosaur.
Curious Minds says, ‘Most of the water molecules, have never been drunk by another human – but almost every single one has been drunk by a dinosaur.
