This is now not the case since, if they were fully submerged, the pressure of the water would crush their lungs so now it is known they were full terrestrial and probably only went near water to drink or cross it.
In The Lost World (Crichton), a character mentions that long-necked dinos did not eat from the tops of trees and kept there necks more parallel to the ground. Has there been any evidence for or against this?
Do you think there will be dinos in the current event? What kind of dines would you like to see?
That is true for certain Sauropods, such as Diplodocus, Mamenchisaurus and Apatosaurus, however others did actually lift their necks up high and eat from the treetops. Brachiosaurus is the perfect example for this.
I would indeed love dinosaurs to be in the current event however it seems that it might be more ice age, which is long after the dinosaurs died out. The dinosaurs I would like to see if they are going to be included are Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, Hylaeosaurus, Therizinosaurus and Magyarosaurus.
Well, turns out dinos are included after all. If you read the text for the characters in the cave, some of them comment on how there shouldn't be dinos. I was excited when I saw the triceratops (or do you think the frill matches a different breed better?) but disappointed when that turned out to be the only breed. I hope there are more. People are calling the hatchlings "raptors," but I think they might be archaeopteryx.
