Contrary to popular belief, polar dinosaurs may not have traveled as far as originally thought when making their bi-annual migration. University of Alberta researchers Phil Bell and Eric Snively have suggested that while some dinosaurs may have migrated during the winter season, their range was significantly less than previously thought, which means their treks were shorter.

According to Bell, the notion of migrating polar dinosaurs is not new; however, previously-held beliefs were that the animals followed the centrally shifting sunlight, or latitudinal “sun line,” as part of their migration and would travel as far as 30 degrees of latitude, or 3,200 kilometres, in order to survive.

    I’ve got a fairly detailed looked at this study on my site as well with a little more in depth look at some of the dinosaurs being considered by Bell and Snively
