dinosaur's

Extinct lizard's possession

Dinosaur's is the possessive form of dinosaur—the extinct reptiles that dominated Earth for over 160 million years.

The word also describes someone or something outdated and unable to adapt: The company's dinosaur's days are numbered.

A dinosaur's most recognizable feature might be its size, teeth, or cultural staying power: The T. rex's tiny arms are a dinosaur's most mocked trait.
