Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 08.05.18 - Did Dinosaurs Die Young?
« on: 16/05/2008 04:39:23 »
Its sort of the question asking 'how long does an animal live for'. There are animals which live for months, years, decades and centuries.
Looking at the closest relatives of the dinosaurs: reptiles, we can see that they live for close to 80 years or more. It is, of course, depending on their body size and diet/metabolism .
Then again creatures like giant tortoises can live for well and truly over 200 years so long as they are sufficient with food and habitat. There would be no reason for a dinosaur not to follow suit.
