The first traits of dinosaurs that scientists noticed were reptilian. In fact, the first animal to be called a dinosaur was iguanadon, named for its iguana-like teeth. So from their discovery until the mid-20th century, scientists regarded dinosaurs simply as giant reptiles. It was not until the 1960s that new discoveries started to point toward an at least some dinosaurs being warm blooded.
No. Turtle are from a branch of reptiles completely separate from dinosaurs.
Paleontologists study dinosaurs. They analyze fossils and use their findings to understand how dinosaurs lived, evolved, and interacted with their environment.
No, not all dinosaurs were carnivores. There were herbivorous dinosaurs that primarily ate plants, such as the Triceratops and the Apatosaurus. Additionally, some dinosaurs were omnivores, meaning they ate both plants and meat.
Considering that most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria and that dinosaurs are eukaryotes like all other animals that ever lived, it is certain that they did have mitochondria in their cells. In fact, birds are considered dinosaurs (they certainly descended from dinosaurs) and their cells have mitochondria, so we can be as sure as scientifically possible that dinosaurs indeed did have mitochondria.
Speed estimates for dinosaurs are very difficult to calculate because dinosaurs are so different from modern animals. Speed estimates for Allosaurus range from 19 to 34 miles per hour.
Allosaurus only ate meat, no plants. As large carnivores, they would have hunted large herbivorous dinosaurs such as Camptosaurus, Dryosaurus, and Stegosaurus, and may have even gathered together to cooperatively hunt huge sauropods such as Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Apatosaurus.
Allosaurs are carnivores,they eat almost anything that moves and breathes.
The paleontologists who found them named them.
The Allosaurs lived in the museum
Two of the earliest dinosaurs to be named were the Iguanodon (a plant-eater) and Megalosaur (a meat-eater).
