Many of us may have different fantasies about dinosaurs.
But our researchers are trying to break the myth about this primitive creature.
Here are some of them.
All dinosaurs are meteorites Were destroyed in the accident?
About 66 million years ago it was a bad day for dinosaurs. A large meteorite about 10 km in diameter hit the Earth directly.
A huge volcanic crater is buried beneath the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Then a large number of animals became extinct. However, researchers say some dinosaurs escaped.
“Although many dinosaurs perished when that meteorite collided, there are still tiny winged dinosaurs today.” Says Paul Barrett, a researcher at the Natural History Museum in London.
“Birds belong to the same group as dinosaurs”
“They are living dinosaurs. So if we count the bird species, there are more dinosaurs now than there were 66 million years ago.”
Is It Enough That You Stay Away From Dinosaur Rex Dinosaurs?
The dinosaur Rex dinosaurs are the protagonists of the first film in the Jurassic series. In that picture dinosaurs would not be able to detect if humans were not moving.
In fact, some creatures that live in both water and land have this ability. But these dinosaurs are not capable of that, says Professor Barrett.
“One study conducted 15 years ago suggests that the animal had good eyesight,” says Professor Barrett.
Can the dinosaur Rex dinosaurs outnumber the vehicle?
In the same picture that type of dinosaur is shown overtaking a vehicle in the stream.
One study found that dinosaurs could run at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour. Similarly it can run at a speed of 20 – 29 kilometers per hour without any difficulty.
“How far we can run without physical difficulty is more important than how fast we can run fast,” says Mariana de Giacomo, supervisor at the National History Museum at Yale University.
So D Rex dinosaurs can run fast but not enough to outdo the car.
Can we clone dinosaurs?
These species of dinosaurs became extinct many years before the De Rex humans appeared on this world. As told in the movie Jurassic Park it will never appear in this world again.
“According to the information we have, the DNV’s presence of dinosaurs will not last long, so it is not possible to clone it,” said Professor Barrett.
Are dinosaurs stupid creatures?
Dr. de Giacomo explained that improved technological facilities have helped to understand how dinosaurs lived and behaved.
“Not all dinosaurs were intelligent, and not all dinosaurs were ignorant.”
“They lived with the intelligence needed to survive in the world in which they lived.”
Professor Barrett said some small carnivorous dinosaurs had excellent intelligence.
” Some dinosaurs may have tried to create the necessary environment to avoid collisions with large animals at night. If so, they need to have better hearing, vision and consumption to cope with the situation. “
At the same time, did the dinosaurs live as bad parents?
For more than a century, dinosaurs have been regarded as solitary and brutal creatures that do not focus on child rearing. Then in the 1970s and 1980s, some complex information about their social functioning and life emerged.
The dinosaur that lives on plants called mysorea is believed to have lived 77 million years.
A report in the Journal of Scientific Reports last October stated that the dinosaurs lived for 193 million years and maintained their young in flocks.
” There is currently an understanding in the information about dinosaurs. It turns out that there were some dinosaurs who were good parents, ”said Professor Barrett. Some dinosaurs are not. ”
De Giacomo mentions that some dinosaurs defended themselves.
“Some dinosaurs, including predators such as aloe vera, have focused on child rearing,” he said.
“The reason why the dinosaur Citipatti Osmolsky was called the Big Uncle was because it was found hatching on its own egg.”
