is called edmontosaurus survived in the winter by migrating to the south, the more hospitable region than the extremely cold in the North Slope. However, the professor in the listening respectively contradicts each theory in the reading passage by using strong evidence as support. First and foremost, the author states that edmontosaurus fed exclusively on plants. But in the cold North Slope, it would have been no plants growing during the dark and cold winter. Therefore the edmontosaurus must have
Abstract: This paper deals with the Shantungosaurus Giganteus and its discovery, fossil information, its phylogeny and reconstructed life habit. The features of the Shantungosaurus include flat beaks, large jaws, and large holes near their nostrils. They prefers high ground and lived in warm weather with ample precipitation. Theses herbivores behavior includes being social or companionable as well as terrestrial. These dinosaurs would travel in herds due to the ongoing treat of predators attacking
The reading passage claims that Edmontosaurus migrated to temperate regions in order to survive the harsh environmental conditions in the Alaska's North Slope and provides three reasons to advocate this assertion. However, the professor states that this argument made by the passage is unconvincing and repudiates all three reasons. At first, the reading passage posits that the diet for these dinosaurs proves that they had to migrate to find plants. Conversely, the professor refutes this point by
Their large size was advantageous when it came to getting around and was the main reason why it was an apex predator. The T-Rex’s main diet consisted of herbivorous dinosaurs such as triceratops and edmontosaurus. It was easily able to hunt these because of its overpowering size and strength. The T-Rex’s tail was long and heavy in order to balance the dinosaur’s massive head and torso. To support an animal so large in size, a lot of its bones were hollow
Evolution by Natural Selection: Tate Museum Report DNA has shown many genetic similarities between Columbian mammoths and African elephants. Based on their skeletal structure both animals are expected to be around twelve feet tall and fifteen feet long. They similarly grew tusks extending from their jaw to around fourteen feet in length, which weighed up to 150 pounds. These massive tusks were used in defense and for daily chores such as digging, lifting, and gathering food. Both animals are herbivores
For years, many discoveries and assumptions have been made about dinosaurs. All around the world, new dinosaur fossils are found and paleontologist continued to be baffled and amazed at the traits these creatures possessed. Naturally, researchers ask questions about the newly-discovered fossils. Was this dinosaur aquatic? Is it a herbivore or a carnivore? Did it take care of its young? There are many theories based on the appearance of fossils and what they can tell us by studying the modern day
The scene opens on a watering hole in the late Cretaceous period. There are herbivores grazing on the plants, and the drinking the water. Suddenly loud footsteps can be heard. The Tyrannosaurus rex, the king of the dinosaurs, is coming over the hill, and the sounds of his footsteps make all the other dinosaurs scatter. Despite not being the biggest dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus rex is undisputedly the fiercest, and through the discovery of many fossils, Hollywood and scientists have made this carnivore
