It seems hard for me to imagine how mammals could survive that catastrophy - they have furs but shells, cannot stay underwater fo...
why did mammals and small reptiles survive but dinosuares didnt ?
Hi
I am looking for resources, E and print on Fossil mammals, and haven't found to many.
Any help would be appreciated.
Referring to the relation between birds and dinosaurs: If we get a new extinction and the only mammals who survive is the bats, who will in 65 million years believe, that the bats is related to blue w...
please my friends tell me that humans are mammals is it true
More than a 100 groups of mammals have been found in the early Miocene (37 - 20 mya) John Day Formation near Kimberly, Oregon. I'm planning a field trip this July to collect in the fossiliferous stra...
: would the newly diversifying mammals be able to pull this off?
Fewer small dinos existed as the Cretaceous wore on. Mammals need only be around armadillo size to impact dino reproduction (due to...
...ptiles also appear to be viviparous. Why did they get so big?
To me the more likely scenario as to why mammals never reached the size of sauropods is the fact that mammals are endothermic but dino...

What's really remarkable is that in this small area, as many new species of somewhat large mammals (including, let me add, one really big one, a 200 pounder) have been discovered as in...
I'm sorry, no, Dinosaurs could not!
Why? They're not mammals like us.
Is there a website who shows how smart some of the dinosaurs was compared with birds and mammals?

That depends on the animal group. Are we talking about Dinosaurs or Placental Mammals?

This would have affected endothermic creatures (mammals, birds) more than ectotherms (presumably dinosaurs & co.). But while dinosaurs and almost all birds were wiped out, mammals seem to have pas...

Is there any atlas of marsupial bones like Elisabeth Schmid did for European mammals?...

My copy of The Encyclopedia of Mammals (1984) mentions what must be the same animal, but calls it 'Kitti's hog-nosed bat'. It agrees that it is the smallest mammal; I always thought som...
This new, remarkably complete fossil shows that theropods had a diaphragm like mammals and crocodilians, not air sacs like modern birds. This is yet another nail in the coffin for the birds are therop...

Well, by animals I think you mean mammals, since all living things are animals or plants in a general sense of the word. But I think you're right, fish a reptiles have amazing strength, or say an...
I look at the elephant,rhinoceros and hippopotamus which are all thick skinned and are warm blooded mammals. I don't think it would be to far fetch in thinking that some dinosaurs could have been...
