QUESTION ARE DINOSAURS HOT OR COLD BLOODED-NEW STUDY SAYS NOT? DEBATE

"New study says not exactly, but sort of"

Richard Freeman

They may have been gigantotherms-that is retaining heat on account of their body size. So they would have an active but economic life-style. Perhapse the kety to their sucess.

Dale Drinnon

I view it as pretty much quibbling over details. If there is limited internal thermoregulation, it still counts

Richard Freeman

Some certainly lived in cool climates and seemed to thrive.

Dale Drinnon

Yes I would say that much definitely, And there was snow and ice by the end of the age of dinosaurs, we know that from the traces of oxygen isotopes in sea deposits
