What was the most dangerous dinosaur that lived during the Jurassic period?
The master predator was Allosaurus fragilis, "the wolf of the Jurassic." They probably hunted in packs to bring down the huge sauropods. Tyrannosaurs hadn't come on the scene yet.
Of course, "dangerous" could be "dangerous to whom?" Animals smaller than the sauropods (who could probably stand off some Allosaurus attacks) were threatened by many smaller predators that would never think of taking on the giants.
Also, creatures such as stegosaurs could be pretty dangerous to anything getting within reach of that spiked tail.
What survived the extinction event of the dinosaurs-?

Did dinosaurs have a backbone?

What education is required to become a palentologist?
In order to become a paleontologist, you must have a doctorate. A strong background in the sciences such as geology and biology is strongly recommended.
You start with the bottom up ones , trace until you find the node where the line branches out , this means you have found two organisms that share a recent common ancestor
In what geologic period did the raptor live?
The Velociraptor lived in the late Cretaceous Period, about 75-70 million years ago.
What can be told from the bones of chirostenotes dinosaur?
Although we only have bones from the arm and leg, paleontologists know that:
- It was an Oviraptorosaur, so we know approximately what it looked like and what it probably ate, based on what other Oviraptorosaurs looked like and ate.
- We know its size (about 6.6 feet long).
- They had a long claw on each hand, which may have been used for pulling grubs out of crevices, or piercing soft bodied amphibians. This would not have been possible if they had lots of feathers on their arms like their relatives, though.

How big is a medium sized dinosaur?

What is it like to live with dinosaurs?
Nobody can answer that from experience. People and dinosaurs just weren't around at the same time. If somehow we HAS lived with dinosaurs, it would probably have been a lot like living with other large animals (lions and tigers and bears, oh my); some sort of balance would have been worked out, with us mainly staying out of their way except when we trapped one.
Who discovered diplodocus dinosaur?
S. W. Williston discovered Diplodocus fossils in 1877. Othniel Charles Marsh named the creature in 1878.
Which evidence support that a dinosaur know as a hadrosaurus was a plant eater?
Hadrosaurus had teeth that were good for grinding plant matter, and a beak for clipping plants for food. Their jaws could chew, which is useful for animals that eat plants, but doesn't help those that eat raw meat. They also had no adaptations for eating meat, including sharp teeth, sharp claws, a strong bite force, and speed.
When dinosaurs sleep do they lay down or stand up?
depends how they sleep
some lay down and some sleep standing up like a guard
No, they never existed. However, small mammals like mice lived during prehistoric times.
What was the last dinosaur discovered?
Dinosaurs still live to this very day. Only when the last bird goes extinct, will the last dinosaur on earth die.
