Is Minmi special?

Not particularly, as dinosaurs go. It used to have the shortest dinosaur name, but it doesn't anymore. Other than being a relatively complete specimen from a continent that doesn't have much in the way of dinosaurs (Australia).

Is the lochness monster related to dinosaurs?

Actually, if you read and do your research a lot of the photo's are fake, not real, made up. If you read how people described the "monster" it the same description of a swimming elephant, though the pictures are good they are not real, so don't believe everything you hear. It is likely that the Loch Ness monster does not exist. Though in the most consistent descriptions the loch ness monster most closely matches the deception of a plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs were marine reptiles that existed in the time of the dinosaurs but were not dinosaurs themselves.

Dinosaur footprints are original remains?

I don't know, waiting on the answer for the test.

What is a dinosaur that is an invertebrate?

There were no invertebrate dinosaurs, they were all chordates.

What time period did Dinosaurs rule the earth and when did they die out?

Dinosaurs lived in the Mesozoic Era (248 million to 99 million years ago), which is divided into three periods: the Triassic Period, the Jurassic Period, and the Cretaceous Period. The Triassic Period was 248 to 206 million years ago, the Jurassic Period was 206 to 159 million years ago, and the Cretaceous Period was 159 to 99 million years ago.

The dinosaurs most likely went extinct when a huge meteor crashed in the ocean (somewhere around the Gulf of Mexico, if I remember my History Channel correctly), causing fatal environmental changes like clouds of dust that blocked out the sun, white hot debris that ignited wildfires, and acid rain (just to name a few). See the Related Links below for more information.

Whose larger allosaurus or tarbosaurus?

Allosaurus was 28 feet long and, depending on the weight estimate you use, weighed 2,200 lb to 8,800 lb. Tarbosaurus was 30 to 40 feet long and weighed just a little less than Tyrannosaurus, which was 6 to 12 tons.

What were the problems with dinosaurs and evolution?

Dinosaurs were a very successful type of organism who lived on Earth for many millions of years before something, probably a giant asteroid collision, wiped them out. Perhaps, in retrospect, being so extremely large made them vulnerable to certain types of environmental change, when smaller species proved to be more adaptable. Bigger is not always better. Notably, smaller species of feathered dinosaur did survive, and still exist today.

Why did dinosaurs disappeared?

The dinosaurs disappeared because something hit them and destroyed them. But, there are many theories about what happened. Some people said that a giant meteor destroyed them, or a giant glacier hit them. There is another theory that dinosaurs are playing a childhood game of "hide and seek" and they found a REALLY REALLY good hiding spot.

Will threre be a dino crisis 4?

I have heard rumours that Capcom are thinking of continuing Dino Crisis 2 and simply renaming the new game dino crisis 3, seeing as the actual 3rd one was simply diabolical. However it's just a rumour. Personally I would like to see a continuation but I'm worried that it'll end up killing dino crisis 2 as well, in a way it'll be great to see what happens but then again if they mess up it could destroy one of our most beloved games, that may be why Capcom won't risk making it knowing the fans response to Dino Crisis 3, which for some bizare reason was on Xbox.

-Update to Answer Above-

In a recent Interview capcom said that they are going to make Dino Crisis 4, they said that they would like to continue the storyline from the 2nd game. But it is going to take a long time in development because they do not want to upset the fans as they did in the 3rd game. A small description of the storyline is - Dylan survives the explosion from the end of Dino Crisis 2 including Paula, then after a few months of waiting Regina travels back with a team of T.R.A.T and S.O.R.T members, only the 3rd energy fails to start again and they are trapped in Edward City. This time there is bigger dinosaurs and the biggest storyline in the Dino Crisis franchise.

Gail , Rick and Dr. Kirk may return for the 4th instalment

AND THERE IS NO MORE MUTATED ZOMBIE DINOSAURS... but the bad side is because capcom doesn't want to disapoint the fans again it is going to take a long time to complete so the release date may be 2013 - 2015

[Addition to the answer already given]

Part of the reason the squeal may take so long, is that in a small way, we have already learned about what happens after dino crisis 2, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_Stalker

Both Dylan and Paula are in this game. The whole story of the game from what I can tell, is your character ends up being mysteriously sent through time (just as he is about to die in an aerial fire fight) and spends his time trying to protect Paula and get her back to Dylan (who is talking to you via your wrist comunicator). and if I remember rightly from my playing of Dino Crisis 2, the original Time traveling Dylan who gave birth to Paula, died before she grew up, so the Dylan your trying to return Paula to, must be the Dylan you control on Dino Crisis 2.

So while making a sequal to Dino Crisis 2, they'll have to try and figure out how to carry on the story, without having to pretend Dino Stalker never happened.

(Update)

Dino Crisis 4 is not going to happen. First of theres no Director or Producer involved and the original Creator is working at Platinum Games making Vanquish. If DC4 is true there would have been some news around the Internet. Dino Crisis 3 is said to be the Final game of the Series. sorry for the Bomb. the Only thing we can do is to imagine the Story that will continue from DC2

(Update To Above)

In a recent interview Shinji Mikami the director and producer of the original Dino Crisis 1 & 2 said that there are planning another Dino Crisis, details are sketchy. But depending on how many times Resident Evil 2, 4 and 5 had been scrapped and remade it could be a long time coming. So who ever said Dino Crisis 4 wasn't coming you should go to E3 and Tokyo Game Shows before you come to conclusions.

(Update To Above)

in October 2010 Capcom representative Christian Svensson confirmed that despite Dino Crisis and Onimusha being ranked 6 and 7 in the best selling Capcom franchises there was no desire to create a sequel for either games. Svensson stated that "Dino Crisis 3 I think is where it went off the rails if I recall. Dino Crisis' success really was an out cropping of Resident Evil 1 and 2, there are discussions, Dino Crisis comes up from time to time, but there isn't any burning desire from R&D or the business side to light that franchise back up again. Until there's an internal champion with something incredible, things just sort of sit there." In regards to both Dino Crisis and Onimusha both series are officially dead, until the much suggested reboots of both series' are conceived.

What enemies did dinosaurs have?

Other dinosaurs. Some meat-eating creatures of the water, like the giant crocodile Phobosuchus. Some egg-stealing mammals. Maybe giant pythons. Parasitic insects. Bacteria. Viruses. Fungal blights that destroyed food supplies. Fires. Earthquakes. Floods. Lightning. Solar radiation. Planetary impacts. (No cavemen hunters, though)

How much did the dinosaurs weigh?

They came in a very wide range of weights, depending on species, from less than a pound to several hundred tons!
they weighed from an ounce, to 80 tons

Which plants dominated the age of dinosaurs?

All plants were around with the dinosaurs. They were both created by GOD on DAY 6 OF CREATION including mankind and other land dwelling creatures. Check out answersingenesis.org.

omg that's a load of stupidity, the answer obviously contradicts science itself. Hey buddy get a major and a degree in a scientific study before u answer . The answer is the Gymnosperms

Where there mammals during the dinosaur age?

Yes. The first mammals appeared only about ten million years after the first dinosaurs in the Triassic period.

What was around longer birds or dinosaurs?

Both. If you think about it, birds evolved from dinosaurs, and some think birds are the only living dinosaurs left.

Do scientists find any fossilized dinosaur skin?

Yes, fossilized dinosaur skin has been found. In fact it can be seen in the Museum of Science in Boston, or at least could be when I was last there about twenty years ago (I moved out of the area). My recollection of what I saw was a large ossified part, perhaps over half, of a small dinosaur about twice the size of a cow. It looked like it might have frozen, been half thawed out, with the thawed half rotting away, and then been covered and turned to stone. At any rate about half of it was sort of intact, and the fossilized skin on it could clearly be seen.

Of course, whether anything at all, but a few stray atoms, of the original skin was still there is another question. In a case like this, my expectation is that whatever covered it probably became a matrix for its form, which remained as the original organic matter decomposed completely, leaving nothing but the solid parts like bones. Then, the ossification took place, filling the void with minerals. I don't know this happened, but it would be my expectation.

Most fossils of animal parts are bones or shells. There are a few fossils of soft tissue. It is common to find fossils of clam shells, but rare to find the clams. Clearly this is because the clams decomposed and the shells did not.

But a fossil is not even necessarily the remains of an animal or plant. It can be a dinosaur footprint, the track left by a snake, or a filled in hole dug by an insect. These kinds of fossils exist for dinosaur skin also - impressions left by the skin on mud or clay that was covered and ossified, retaining the shape of the skin.

Fossils are most often mineralized, but sometimes they are not. Amber is an example of a common fossil that is not mineralized, and it often contains insects or pollen that are pretty much made up of the original organic matter. And, even when mineralized, sometimes sufficient traces of original material remain to be instructive. I have seen fossilized feathers that were completely mineralized, but retained some of the feather's original pigmentation, so it was possible to see where stripes were on the feather. I have no idea that the dinosaur skin I saw had a color anything like what the original color was. Even if pigment remained, certainly some pigment would have disappeared, leaving an impression of color that might be about as accurate as the idea of the color of a maple leaf in summer derived from fall colors.

How dinosaurs vanished?

some say an asteroid hit the earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. others say the climate got colder and the dinos couldn't adapt.

How large is dinosaurs?

It depends how you identify big. The tallest dinosaur was Sauroposeidon, at 18m (60ft). The longest was Supersaurus, which was 35m (112ft) long, and the heaviest was Argentinosaurus, which weighed 80,000-100,000 kg (90-110 tonnes).

What if humans have had dinosaurs as pets?

If humans had dinosaurs as pets, it would dramatically alter our ecosystems and daily lives. The challenges of caring for such large and diverse creatures would require significant changes in housing, food supply, and safety measures. Additionally, the presence of dinosaurs would likely influence social structures, urban planning, and even culture, as people would adapt to coexist with these ancient reptiles. The potential for ecological disruption would also raise concerns about the balance between humans and wildlife.
