you put frigi in the AZ guan in the sz orno in the sz. you use frozen armor and use ice age a few times and then attack dynal.. he should die soon
Are dinosaurs homeothermic or poikilothermic?
In early studies dinosaurs are poikilothermic in new study shows dinosaurs are truly homeothermic
How big was Liopleurodon Ferox?
There has been large controversy over the size of Liopluerodon. However, multiple very large specimens have been discovered recently, and very strong evidence has been unearthed that says that Liopluerodon grew t0 82 feet.
What dinosaur fossils will you find in the smithsonian institute?
The very first dinosaur fossil was theDystrophaeus viaemalae it was collected and donated in 1859 by J. S. Newberry. Dinosaur footprints from the Lower Jurassic in the Connecticut Valley, was donated in 1861. Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Triceratops, and Edmontosaurus. Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, and Brachyceratops, Stegosaurus, and Thescelosaurus. The first complete and fully mounted dinosaurs were the Edmontosaurus (1903) and then the Triceratops (1905). These were later joined by the Ceratosaurus (1910), Camptosaurus (1911), two individuals of Stegosaurus(1913 and 1918), Thescelosaurus (1914), Brachyceratops (1920), and Diplodocus (1931). The Diplodocus was huge it was infact 70 feet long and was the only exhibit where visitors were allowed to walk underneath it. Another specimen was much later added the Gorgosaurus and this was completed in 1960. In 1963 walking under the Diplodocus was stopped but now there was a Sauropod Femur that they were allowed to touch. In 1981 the hall was reopened with a new exhibit a full mount of an Allosaurus.

How did dinosaur walk 2or4legs slow or fast locomotion?
the dinosaurs walk slowly b/c they would get raped by the cave men at night, their asses would be red and sore, that's how they got their dino"saur"
Titanosaur refers to a group of animals, not an individual sort, but the remains of one measuring 40 metres have been found.
Are birds descendants of dinosaurs?
yes, that is correct, some dinosaurs bones were very alike in birds of today
Answer:This is disputed. Birds have many features in common with theropods (bipedal meat-eating dinosaurs) which suggests that they had a common ancestor. We dont know that this common ancestor was a dinosaur though. It may well have been a bird.Looking back in time through the theropod fossil record, these dinosaurs appear to be more bird-like the further back in time you look. Raptors are known to have had feathers and were fairly bird-like, but Archaeopteryx was much more bird-like and lived much earlier and may have been an ancestor of the raptors. There is also a controversial fossil called Protoavis that was dated even earlier and was more bird-like still, with hollow bones like modern birds.
The theropods may actually be descended from birds that became flightless.

Did a pteranodon live in a nest?
Probably not. There's some evidence that Pteranodon may have actually lived a bit like modern day seals and sea lions; on beaches, with a big male presiding over a large harem of smaller females. They probably buried their eggs in the ground instead of laying them on nests, but no one knows for sure.
Quetzalcolalt was about 17 ft tall, and weighed about 2-4 tons. Its wings can grow up to 40 ft in span.
What do scientist compare dinosaur fossil to when they classify them?
Other fossils already placed in the fossil record, and similar animals living today. The key to the past is in the present, as my geology professor would say.
Are there any dinosaurs alive today?
Not like Jurassic park style, However many paleontologists classify birds as dinosaurs. Crocodiles and alligators are also dinosaur relatives though they are not dinosaurs.
What is the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived on earth?
The largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived on earth was "Giganotosaurus."
The largest is "liopleurodon."
The largest carnivores ever lived on earth are-
1) Spinosaurus aegiptiacus
2) Gigantosaurus carolini
3) Tyrannosaurus rex
The largest of all definitely is "liopleurodon"
What is the scientific name of a person that studies dinosaurs?
The technical term for anyone who studies the fossils of prehistoric creatures other than humans (including dinosaurs) is "paleontologist."
Were most dinosaurs carnivals or herbivores?
Most dinosaurs were herbivores. There was a wide variety or carnivorous dinosaurs, though, and all herbivorous dinosaurs evolved from the earliest carnivorous dinosaurs. Birds are descendants of carnivorous dinosaurs.
Why is the period of rock formation about 360 million years ago called the Carboniferous Period?
The period is called the Carboniferous because rocks from that time period are rich in coal. The rocks are rich in coal because much of the Earth was covered in swamps. The pete moss was then put under tremendous pressure and heat over millions of years, forming the coal.
Who came first man or dinosaur?
Dinosaurs died approx 65 million years ago, while modern man has only been around for a few hundred thousand years ago. Pre modern man has been around for longer, but then it depends on your definition of man. Our divergance from ape-like creatures maybe 7-10 million years ago, so dinosaurs existed and died out long before our origins.
What was the first stage in dinosaur times?
The first stage in dinosaur times (the Mesozoic Era) was the Triassic.
Do Archaeologists Dig Dinosaur Bones?
It might surprise you, but the answer to that question is no. Scientists who study dinosaur bones (or fossils) are called paleontologists. Paleontologists have a lot in common with archaeologists - both excavate and study animal bones. Archaeologists who specialize in animal bones study zooarchaeology, which means "the archaeology of animals". You might wonder: if dinosaurs are animals that existed in the past, and zooarchaeologists study animals from the past, then why don't they study dinosaurs? Here's the key difference between paleontology and archaeology: archaeologists study the human past. Zooarchaeologists specifically study the relationships between people and animals in the past.
One of the easiest questions that can be answered by animal bones buried in an archaeological site is "What kinds of animals were people eating?" People ate all sorts of animals including bugs, fish, mice, monkeys, and even mammoths. So, why didn't they eat dinosaurs (this is kind of a trick question)? Most dinosaurs were huge and must have had a lot of meat. Maybe dinosaurs were too dangerous for people to hunt. Actually, the reason people didn't eat dinos is much simpler. The last of the dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. Our earliest hominid (human-like) ancestors didn't arise until about 5 million years ago. So, despite what you see on The Flintstones, people and dinosaurs never lived on our planet at the same time! It would have been impossible for people to eat dinosaurs, or go for rides on them, or keep them as pets. For the entire time that people have been around, dinosaurs have been extinct.
Dinosaurs are fascinating, and their fossils help paleontologists study the history of life on earth, but dinosaur bones aren't very helpful to archaeologists who want to understand human prehistory. Maybe someday dinosaurs will walk the earth again (like in the Jurassic Park movies), but for now, people and dinosaurs have never existed at the same time.
Well...they didnt have candy back then but i'm sure if they did they would LOVE it!
New fossil evidence suggests that the 'Candiosaurus' used to excrete candy, and that made up 25% of the diet of the T-Rex.
