段落1

Many scientists have problems with the arguments you read in the passage.

隐藏原文=

They don't think those arguments prove that dinosaurs were endotherms.

隐藏原文=

Take the polar dinosaur argument.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

When dinosaurs lived, even the polar regions, where dinosaur fossils have been found, were much warmer than today, warm enough during part of the year for animals that were not endotherms to live.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And during the months when the polar regions were cold, the so-called polar dinosaurs could have migrated to warmer areas or hibernated like many modern reptiles do.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So the presence of dinosaur fossils in polar regions doesn't prove the dinosaurs were endotherms.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Well, what about the fact that dinosaurs have their legs placed under their bodies, not out to the side like crocodiles.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

That doesn't necessarily mean dinosaurs were high-energy endotherms built for running.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

There is another explanation for having legs under the body.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

This body structure supports more weight, so with the legs under their bodies, dinosaurs can grow to a very large size.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Being large had advantages for dinosaurs, so we don't need the idea of endothermy and running to explain why dinosaurs evolved to have their legs under their bodies.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Ok, so how about bone structure?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Many dinosaur bones do have Haversian canals, that's true.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The dinosaur bones also have growth rings.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Growth rings are thickening of the bone that indicates periods of time when the dinosaurs weren't rapidly growing.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

These growth rings are evidence that dinosaurs stopped growing or grew more slowly during cooler periods.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

This pattern of periodic growth, you know, rapid growth followed by no growth or slow growth, and then rapid growth again, is characteristic of animals that are not endotherms.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Animals that maintain a constant body temperature year-round as true endotherms do grow rapidly even when the environment becomes cool.
