Information About

Living Dinosaurs




In Cryptozoology , living dinosaurs are dinosaurs that supposedly survived extinction and live in the present. Living Dinosaurs are not a zoological impossibility, particularly in areas that have been geologically stable for the past sixty million years (Africa). Bigger dinosaurs that are cold-blooded ( Ectothermic ) would have a more successful chance thiriving in warm, equatorial regions than warm-blooded ( Endothermic ) animals with high metabolic rates. Ectothermic creatures also require only ten percent of the amount of the food taken in by full endothermic. Determining dinosaur energetics and thermal Biology without living models, though, is a pure speculation.
