There are some arguments about dinosaurs being an
endotherm
. It is believed that they are reptiles and were not endotherms
. However
, there are shreds of evidence
that consider them to be endotherms
. The first evidence
is that a dinosaur fossil had been found in the polar region, where only endotherm
animals
can survive. Nevertheless
, the lecture tells us that the polar region was warm enough for ectothermy animals
and when the polar region became cold, animals
that were not endotherms
migrated to warmer climates. The second piece of evidence
is Endotherms
allow animals
to do physical activity such
as running, and it is possible for the species who have a leg structure positioned underneath their body
.
Dinosaurs proved that their legs position are underneath their body
. It is different from other reptiles, which their legs are positioned beside their body
. However
, the lecture says that even though they had their leg position underneath their body
, doesn’t mean it is built for running. Other than that their leg position is to support their weight not for physical activity. The last
piece of evidence
is one of the traits of endotherm
species is they have a haversian canal that rapid the growth of animals
, which was found in a dinosaur body
. Even so, the lecture stated that they have growth
ring that controls their Correct article usage
a growth
growths
. Fix the agreement mistake
growth
This
growth ring is evidence
that they did not grow rapidly even though they had Haversian
canal. So Correct article usage
a Haversian
to conclude
, it is not endotherm
