Dwarf dinosaurs unequivocally did exist

AN ISLAND of "dwarf dinosaurs", that was usually a speculation for 100 years, unequivocally did exist, scientists have announced. The thought of small antiquated beasts carrying existed on Hateg Island, Romania, was due a century ago by the charming Baron Franz Nopcsa, whose family owned estates in the area.He found that most dinosaur stays on Hateg were half the distance ADVERTISEMENTof their close kin in comparison rocks in Britain, Germany, and North America.Now the barons speculation has been tested for the initial time by Professor Mike Benton, at the University of Bristol, and 6 alternative experts from Romania, Germany, and the United States.The group found that the Hateg Island dinosaurs were, indeed, dwarfs and not only immature dinosaurs. A prime thesis of evolutionary ecologists is either there is an "island rule" – where large animals removed on islands develop to turn smaller. Three class of Hateg dinosaurs – the plant-eating sauropod magyarosaurus and the plant-eating ornithopods telmatosaurus and zalmoxes – are half the length of their nearest kin elsewhere.The group carefully thought about these 3 dinosaurs, each represented by most specimens. They found no justification of any large skeleton such as they would design to find in their normal-sized relatives.More importantly, a close investigate of the skeleton reliable the dinosaurs had reached adulthood.
