ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEExperts said 2.5 billion Tyrannosaurus rex prowled North America over a couple million years or so, with maybe 20,000 at any given time.
As we anticipate what the fossil record might reveal in 2021, a science magazine site has come up with the 10 best dinosaur discoveries of 2020, and five of them are include the following.
The dinosaurs were not in decline at the time the fateful asteroid hit, a new study has found which said the ancient beasts could still dominate the planet today had the space rock missed.
Scientists recreated the 3D images of a dinosaur's brain using a perfectly preserved skeleton. Millions of years earlier, dinosaurs flourished and have been dead for hundreds of millions of years.
One of the most complete specimens of a t-rex fossil of the world was sold in a New York auction at $31.8 million on Tuesday which is four times the price of the previous highest price for a dinosaur.
There are multiple theories regarding how crocodiles and birds became separate species after millions of years of sharing the same ancestral species. British scientists may be one step closer in discovering how the two species evolved as they analyze the unique anatomy of the Euparkeria dinosaur.
Check out a 3D representation video and photos of what Scientists have termed the long 'river monster' with fossils found along the Kem Kem rocks in Morocco. The findings of their study suggest that it used to swim the oceans, as opposed to the previous belief that dinosaurs never swam.
Scientists are mostly convinced that volcanic activity is the primary factor behind the extinction of the dinosaurs. However, this group of scientists from Yale University argues otherwise.
The flying reptile was mostly head and neck—and had at least a 16-foot wingspan, if not larger. The fossil of an enormous flying dinosaur that was found in the northwestern part of North America nearly three decades ago, has been identified.

Beheaded dinosaur finally got his head after a century. paleontologists from the University of Alberta has found that the dinosaur is a Corythosaurus and its skull is kept at the university's Paleontology museum since 1920.
Extracting proteins is possible now with the help of DNA that can encode majority of functions that keep living cells alive from even 80-million-old dinosaur bones.
Daspletosaurus horneri is the latest addition to the tyrannosaurus family. However, this predator provides clues about how anagenesis evolution happens.
Scientists have found out why dinosaurs learned to walk using two feet instead of four like their ancestors. The need for speed to catch their prey help dinosaurs into evolving to using just two feet.
In 2012, a team of paleontologists were scouring the rocky shores of what is today the small island of Sucia, located within Puget Sound, between Washington State and Vancouver Island. On the hunt for prehistoric shells, they inadvertently stumbled upon the bone of a creature never known to have ranged that far north - a dinosaur.
