How the dinosaurs see?

Dinosaurs saw using their eyes. Some dinosaurs, such as tyrannosaurs, troodontids, and dromaeosaurids, had excellent vision and they had binocular vision. The latter two may have had good night vision, too. Carnosaurs like Allosaurus had a very narrow field of vision (20 degrees) and vision similar to that of crocodilians. Dinosaurs, like birds and reptiles, probably could see colors.

What observations did scientists make about dinosaurs that made them think dinosaurs were not l izards?

What animals live in the Jurassic coast?

During the Jurassic, Europe was divided into many islands. Therefor, the European animals were more coastal than those of other areas.

A few weeks back, I compiled a list of animals that existed during the Kimmeridgian stage of the Jurassic period. Here is the European section:

BirdsArchaeopteryx, a medium sized dinosaur-like toothed bird (1.6 ft from nose to tail) that could only glide.

Wellnhoferia, a slightly larger Archaeopteryx relative.

Crocodylomorphs*Dakosaurus, a 12 to 15 ft thalattosuchian, with large teeth, a powerful triangular jaw, four flippers and a finned tail. It was probably an apex predator.

Geosaurus, a thalattoschian measuring less than 10 feet with a short snout and large, curving teeth.

Machimosaurus, a 27 ft thalattosuchian designed for eating turtles and other large prey.

Metriorhynchus, a 10 ft thalattosuchian with a finned tail and a streamlined body.

Goniopholis, a 6 to 12 ft predator similar to modern crocodillians.

*Thalattosuchians are an extinct group of marine crocodylomorphs.

DinosaursCompsagnathus, a 2 to 8 lb coelurisaurian dinosaur that was about 6 ft long.

Camptosaurus, a 26 ft long, heavily built iguanodontid.

Phyllodon, about a 3 to 6 foot hypsilophodont.

Dacentrosaurus, a 20 to 33 ft stegosaur with triangle plates and four tail spikes.

Bothriospondylus, a 50 to 65 ft brachiosaur.

Cetiosaurus, a 60 ft sauropod.

Megalosaurus, a 27 ft theropod.

Europasaurus, a sauropod dwarfed to 24 ft due to its small island habitat.

Ceratosaurus, a 20 ft, 1200 to 2200 lb, theropod dinosaur with ridge crests over the eyes and a bony, semicircular "horn" on its nose.

Stokesaurus, a 9 to 12 ft tyrannosaur.

Torvosaurus, a 30 to 36 ft, 2 ton theropod.

Allosaurus, a 28+ ft, 2.5 ton theropod with crests above the eyes, running down along the nose in front of the eyes. These crests may have been used in displays and/or as sunshades.

Elaphrosaurus, a long necked, 20 ft ceratosaur.

FishLepidotes, 12 in fresh and saltwater fish that had thick scales and ate molluscs.

Gyrodus, a circular, laterally compressed fish.

Hypsocormus, a 3 ft predatory fish with one dorsal fin and a powerful bite.

Aspidorhynchus, a 2 ft fish with tooth lined jaws and a long nose, superficially resembling gar.

Pholidophorus, a 16 in, fast swimming, superficially herring like fish that ate planktonic crustaceans and small fish.

Thrissops, a 24 in long fish that ate other fish.

Elops, very bony fish that grow up to 3 ft and 22 lbs. They eat crustaceans and smaller fish, and still exist today.

Plesiosaurs & IchthyosaursLiopleurodon, a 16 to 23 ft short-necked plesiosaur.

Ophthalmosaurus, an 18 ft icthyosaur.

Platypterygius, a possibly deaf icthyosaur that grew up to 21 feet.

PterosaursCtenochasma, a small pterosaur (12+ in wingspan) with numerous teeth used for filter feeding on invertabrates. Adults had a bony crest.

Cycnorhamphus, a pterosaur with a 4 ft wingspan and teeth at the tip of its beak for hunting invertabrates in the mud.

Germanodactylus, a pterosaur with a 3 to 3.5 ft wingspan (depending on the species) that weighed as much as a raven. It had a semicircular headcrest that extended from the cranium to in front of the eyes.

Gnathosaurus, a pterosaur with a 5 ft wingspan, a spoon shaped beak tip, and 130 needle like teeth.

Pterodactylus, a group of pterosaurs ranging up to a 5 ft wingspan and 90 conical teeth. Adults had a semicircular headcrest, and they probably ate fish and other small animals. They also had a throat pouch.

Ramphorhynchus, a long tailed pterosaur measuring up to 4 ft with a 6 ft wingspan. It hunted fish using its interlocking teeth.

Scaphognathus, a long tailed pterosaur with a semicircular headcrest and a wingspan of 3 ft.

What is a mihunekisaurus?

A Mihunekisaurus(or Mihu for short) is a dinosaur.While much is unknown about it, paleontologist have ditermend that Mihu is a close relative of the Triceratops,with its strong muscles and bladed horns,it can take down any monster,from a small Compsognathus(com-so-nang-thus)to a humongous Spinosaurus(spy-no-sur-us).

No known organisms, including dinosaurs, are capable of breathing fire. This is because, even if a chemical reaction could be created by an animal to all to spit fire, the fire would burn the organism that created it.

Are there any saints alive today?

That depends upon your view of who is a saint.

a very religious person can be a saint, or even a person who does only good for others and has not done a bad thing in his/her whole life.

However, to be a recognized saint (canonized) the person must be dead.
