Dinosaurs

I think maybe I seen a lot of news saying they saw a 🦕

If you limit the time to the formation of Narragansett Bay at the end of the last ice age (about 12,000 years ago) some of the animals living in Rhode Island might have included:

Short-faced bears

Dire wolves

Stag moose

Sea mink

Caribou

Lynx

Fisher cats

Various kinds of seals

Smaller predators such as coyote would probably have been driven out by wolves. The climate was too cold for deer and the lack of broad-leaf trees and nut-bearing trees meant a shortage of food during winter.

Because the climate was cold for several thousand years, other possibilities include saber tooth tigers. American lions were the most common predator in America but they might not have been in Rhode Island due to the initially cold climate.

Smaller animals might have included chipmunks and red squirrels both of which tend to arrive fairly early.

Until the climate warmed enough for broad-leaf trees the area would have resembled tundra with primarily spruce and evergreens. Therefore many modern animals would not have lived here until about 8000 years ago when the climate approached modern levels.

The pleistocene extinction occurred at about the same time Narragansett Bay was formed, so modern animals and modern plants began to arrive as the climate warmed.

My book "The History and Future of Narragansett Bay" (Universal Press, 2006) has other information. The Bay started as a fresh-water lake incidentally. Capers Jones

I think almost every state had dinosaurs! -dino-b, the dinosaur loving expert

That depends. Are you an insect, a herbivore, or a giant carnivore. Let´s assume you want to know which would have been the least dangerous dinosaur had you been able to come across it. In that case, let me tell you that some dinosaurs were pretty small. Around chicken size. An example is compsognathus. Check that one out. Now, check lesothosaurus, and then, saltopus. Did you like them? Maybe they would have been nice pets.

what is your conclusion about what killed the dinosaurs

They probably got hit by a huge asteroid or havoc had spread all over earth like a grey cloud of smoke suffocated them from the asteroid

Foloster raptor

One can watch videos of cartoon dinosaurs from many different websites online. Some examples of these websites include Youtube, Pixelfish, and Blip.TV.

No. Nothing lives in the center of the earth.

65 million years ago

Constellations

The archaeopteryx became exctint around 150 million years ago.

I don't think scientists have been able to determine how dinosaurs smelled, though I'm sure a lot of them were stinky.

Palaeontology is a branch of science and it's the study of dinosaur fossils.

Dinosaurs became extinct along with many other types of ancient organisms in the K-T mass extinction that occurred 65 million years ago which probably coincided with an asteroid impact. This marked the end of the Mesozoic Era and the beginning of the Cenozoic.

All the above

Many types of non-avian dinosaurs lived in Wales, and it's fauna would not have been much different from that of the rest of western Europe.

I am asking if there are any known fossils from either the Triassic, Jurassic or cretaceous of quadupedal carnivorous dinosaurs that could serve as a model for the fictional Rhedosaurus created by Ray Harrayhausen for the 1963 movie, Beast from 20,000 fathoms. It would be interesting if there were any carnivorous quads as opposed to the Therapod dinos. There are obviously thousands of unknown species that tragically will never see the light of day since as has been reported, the known fossil record is only a fraction of what actually existed. Some day Homo sapiens will be denizon of that fossil record:-)

Yes. Dinosaurs went extinct 65.5 million years ago. The first human-like primates appeared about 2.5 million years ago. The first Homo sapiens appeared about 200,000 years ago.

Mammals and dinosaurs emerged in the Mesozoic era. Plants appeared in the Paleozoic era, which came before it.

The most well adapted dinosaurs were the birds. I say this because birds are still here, 65 million years after all other dinosaurs died out.

Dinosaurs can be green,orange,blue,etc.

An Iguanadon is an Hebraic, iguana-like dinosaur that is 19 feet long and weighs 3.5 tons.
