How do people know what colour dinosaurs were?

People, in fact, do not know the colors of nearly all prehistoric animals, including dinosaurs. Recently, however, scientists have found a technique to determine the colors of a fossilized feathers by examining them with a microscope. Therefor, the colors of a two, early bird-like dinosaurs, are as follows:

Confuciusornis (an early bird, similar to Archaeopteryx): Feathers show regions of gray, red/brown, and black.

Anchiornis: For this, you would probably like to see a picture, showing it just as it would have looked in real life (except the tail, whose colors are still unknown). You can see a picture of an Anchisornis in its true colors by going to the related link.

Only to the extent that all animals are related to each other. Dinosaurs, being vertebrates are not closely related to any invertebrate related.

What was the offspring of dinosaurs?

Young dinosaurs would have been called hatchlings. If you are asking what evolved from dinosaurs, the only descendants of dinosaurs are the birds.

Was incisivosaurus an omnivore?

Incisivosaurus was probably herbivorous. They lived during the early Cretaceous in China.

Were dinosaurs cold blooded?

they are believed to be related to birds according to evolution. Dinosaurs were considered luke-warm blooded because they could survive in the cold and the warm. Though another theory is the evolution with birds, I think this is a good answer.

Which is the largest dinosaur that walked on land?

Technically speaking, all dinosaurs walked on land, because none of them were fully aquatic. The largest dinosaurs were the four legged, long necked, herbivorous sauropods. The largest sauropod was Argentinosaurus, measuring 98 to 118 feet long, and with an estimated weight of 66 to 99 tons.

Why is Biblical history the key to understanding dinosaurs?

It isn't, the Creation Museum is just stupid. They also think that the creation in Genesis took literally seven days even though the original writing refers to seven long and indistinct periods of time, not seven 24-hour days.

They think the universe is only a few thousand years old and they refuse to accept any sort of science that disagrees with them.

WHAT SIZE IS A MEGALOSAURUS?

The bones of a megalodon have been scattered around so there isn't an exact answer but its been thought to have been up to 60ft long. Its teeth were also over 6 inches long. As much as a Tyrannosaurus or a Sabretooth cat.

What kind of scientist would study dinosaur bones?

What were the dominant land animals in Jurassic and Cretaceous periods?

In many ways the same as our own. Plant life was very abundant, especially conifers. Fungus life was probably the same as it is now. Insect life was also very abundent, as was bacterial life.

Mammalian and amphibian life would be affected by reptiles such as the brachiosaurus and the stegosaurus. Amphibian, fish and other sea life would be affected by pliosaurs and marine crocodiles-though the deep water was probably similar to the way it is now.

Bird life had yet to evolve.

Are snakes related to dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs evolved from their earlier archosaur ancestors in the Triassic Period. The fundamental difference between dinosaurs and other reptiles is the structure of their hips. In most reptiles the legs are splayed out, limiting their locomotion. In dinosaurs they are erect and located on the underside of the body, allowing dinosaurs to have more stamina.

Dinosaurs diverged from their archosaur ancestors approximately 230 million years ago in the Middle to Late Triassic Period. It is believed that Eoraptor ("dawn thief") represents the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. If this is so, the first dinosaurs were small, bipedal predators. As earlier forms of reptiles became extinct the dinosaurs grew and diversified, and became the dominant terrestrial animals throughout most of the Mesozoic Era. They occupied various niches. Some were small insectivores, some were vicious predators, and others were the giant sauropods.

How many teeth did a dinosaur have?

It actually depends. If your talking about ceratopsians they could've been toothy or toothless

How do you take care of a dinosaur?

Dinosaurs weren't anything like humans, although they were all smart in there own way. The velocoraptor, probably one of the smartest, had the sharpest claw. It hunted in packs for better meat, was very fast, and might have been able to fly because they had feathers. The T rex, fights for food, reproduces, and they all were loving parents. So yes, in a way they are like dogs, but some dogs are terribly smart mind you, but they defintly didn't act like the dinosaurs would have!!!

What did a Protoceratops eat?

Protoceratops was an herbivore. They lived in the Gobi Desert around 70 million years ago. In general, ceratopsians ate cycads and conifers. Cycads today are known to be able to survive in semidesert climates, so there is a good chance that they made up a lot of the diet of Protoceratops.

Where did the dinosaurs live?

In terms of the world-structure while the dinosaurs were present, Dinosaurs were found on Pangaea, the giant continent that made up the entirety of the land during a good portion of the Mesozoic era. During the latter portion of the Mesozoic era, dinosaurs were found on both of the super continents, Gondwana and Laurasia (check spelling), that existed at that time. Dinosaur fossils have been found on all continents, with the exception of Antartica. The reason dinosaur fossils have not been found in Antarctica is more likely because of a lack of looking than a lack of fossils.
