“Since we can’t observe living non-avian dinosaurs directly, some of these questions have to remain in the realm of speculation”

Really? You mean like that “fuzziness”?

Well, all I know is I wouldn’t want to sleep with a snoring dinosaur. Imagine!

I can’t figure out some politicians sleep after screwing up our country so badly.

Why would I care how a Dinosaur slept.

How Did Dinosaurs Sleep?

Fitfully.

They kept having nightmares of Helen Thomas...

I’ve always wondered how dinosaurs drank. Did they dip/siphon like hoofed animals, did they drink like birds (fill beak, lift head), or did they simply eat diets of succulents, while carnivores got their water requirements met by the body fluids and blood of their prey? Inquiring minds want to know...
