Abstract

The article "POLAR DINOSAURS" discusses how evidence has shown that dinosaurs were able to survive in cold, dark winter conditions, contrary to previous beliefs that they only thrived in tropical regions. Fossil evidence indicates that dinosaurs also inhabited colder regions, such as Australia and the Arctic, where they adapted to endure the cold and darkness through various means like hibernation and efficient breathing systems. The article highlights the discovery of a nine-meter-long herbivore in Alaska, showcasing the adaptability and toughness of polar dinosaurs in harsh environments. Additionally, it explores how higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere during the Mesozoic era allowed for warmer temperatures, lush vegetation, and thriving life near the poles, contrasting with the harsh conditions present in modern-day polar regions.
