It is possible to measure the minimum blood pressures of dinosaurs by estimating the vertical distance between the heart and the top of the head, because this column of blood must have a pressure at the bottom equal to the hydrostatic pressure derived from the density of blood and gravity. Added to this pressure is that required to move the ...
The book has been described as a "monumental work" with lots of international coverage and shared expertise, succeeding in its goal of being comprehensive and expert in coverage. American paleontologist Kevin Padian noted that it is a good representation of the state of dinosaur research shortly before the time of its publication. [ 3 ]

Alan Kazlev wrote, "This is a very good non-technical introduction to prehistoric vertebrates" and "it is the sheer number and diversity of creatures covered here, that makes this book so ...
This week, meet the first dinosaur ever discovered, prepare for 2024’s exciting space missions, see the “living skin” protecting the Great Wall of China, and more. Megalosaurus, the fossil ...
Assistant Curator David Evans mounted the ROM specimen conservatively, with a relatively low head to give the dinosaur moderate blood pressure. [30] The extremely long neck, 10 meters (30 feet) may have developed to enable Barosaurus to feed over a wide area without moving around; it may also have enabled the dinosaurs to radiate excess body ...
Dinosaurs were initially cold-blooded, but global warming 180 million years ago may have triggered the evolution of warm-blooded species, a new study found.
The Dinosaurs is a 150-page book edited by Byron Preiss, narrated by William Service, illustrated by William Stout; and introduced by Peter Dodson.The book gives an overview of new theories (at the time) of dinosaur life, including their social groupings, stages of life, travel, food, appearance and physiology.
