What is dinosaurs nocturnal?

Answer 1

== == == == I don't think so. They were reptiles which means they were cold blooded and therefore I would think they would be inactive during night because it was cooler. some might have such as troodont's and dromaeosaurs been nocturnal so it would have been easier to get baby herbivores or if troodonts wanted to get mammal prey

Answer 2

First of all, get your grammar right. Second, there probably were nocturnal dinosaurs. Some smaller species would have probably snuck out at night to snatch eggs and such and slept in burrows or trees during the day.

Answer 3

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus was a 75 foot long, 18 to 25 ton herbivore. Like most large herbivores, it probably fed almost constantly. Thus, it would have been awake most of the day and much of the night. However, it didn't have any special adaptations for night vision.

Answer 4

The sclerotic rings in Velociraptor's eye sockets were very large. This suggests that the eyeball was large, an adaptation for seeing at night. Thus, evidence suggests that Velociraptor was noctournal in order to avoid the heat of the day.

Answer 5

I don't know enough to answer fully but if i am sure then, it really depends on what type of dinosaur it is! If it's a T-Rex they hunt for most of the 24 hours but if it was a Terrodactyl it would sleep most likely about 8 hours a day!

Answer 6

In all likelyhood, yes. Though in most cases we cannot tell what the periods of activity were for most prehistoric animals. However, evidence of nocturnal behavior exists in the eye sockets of some dinosaurs.

Answer 7

Most dinosaurs show no adaptations for seeing, and hence being active, at night. Exceptions are Troodon, which had good night vision, and Leaellynasaura, but the latter probably had good night vision so it could see during the dark Antarctic night, and it only ate plants.
