Dinosaurs
I have read something interesting today. What is dinosaur? What is
it like? Dinosaur is a diverse group of reptile of the clad dinosaurian that
first appear during Triassic period. Although the exact origin and timing of
the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research the current
scientific consensus places their origin between 231 and 243 million years ago
they become terrestrial vertebrata after the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event
201 million years ago. Their dominance continued through the Jurassic and
cretaceous periods led to the extinction of most dinosaur groups 66 million
years ago. The fossils records indicate that birds are modern feathered dinosaur,
having evolved from thereupon ancestors during the Jurassic periods. As such birds
are the only dinosaur lineage to survive the extinction events. The term of
dinosaur is sometimes used generally to refer to the combine group of avian and
non-avian dinosaurs. At other times it is used to refer to the non-avian dinosaurs
specifically, while the avian dinosaurs are sometimes refer to as birds. This
article deal primarily with non-avian dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are a varied group
of animals from taxonomic, morphological, and ecological standpoints. Birds at over
10000 living species are the most diverse group of vertebrata besides vermiform
fish. Using fossils evidence paleontologists have identified over 500 distinct
genera and more than 1000 different species of non avian dinosaurs. Dinosaurs
are represented on every continent by both extant species and fossil remains.
Through the first half of the 20th century, before birds were
recognized to be dinosaur, most of the scientific community believe dinosaur to
have been sluggish and cold-blooded.
Most research conducted since the 1970, however, has indicated that all dinosaurs
were active animal levitated metabolism and numerous adaptation for social
interact action for social. The other is carnivorous. Everyone suggest that egg
laying and nest building is additional trait share by all dinosaurs.
