Reptiles go dormant, or into a torpor when their temp drops too low.

Reptile dysfunction.

Har. :-)

oc Once mammals were making tunnels under dinosaur eggs nest it was
good by dinosaurs. No need for that Yucatan comet. Rat type animals were
to smart for those big stupid cold blooded animals. Its no coincidence
when mammals came into the picture reptiles were in big trouble. Those
rates 85 million years ago got bigger and bigger today we call them pigs
Always like that as how dinosaurs went rare they were aborted before
birth,and their mothers could not figure out away to protect their eggs.
Gators make better mothers. Mother nature stepped in to give reptiles
wings and make their nest high up on a tree. TreBert

Double A The figure $606 keeps coming to mind. Its not much but you
could apply for that. No one wants you sleeping on a park bench
Do some thing right away. TreBert

Double A Once the Sun comes up Florida gaters are basking in the Sun.
Their bodies are storing energy.Stay warm that saves you energy. Eat
well that gives you energy Stay clean that keeps infections down. Put
medicated powder on your back feet and private body parts. Watch for
skin infections,itching etc Do not neglect sore throat Do not be
proud,or think you will feel better later GO DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL
TreBert

That's the definition, DA.

Cold-blooded creatures sit in the Sun to warm up.

Warm-blooded creatures sweat pant or get out of the Sun to cool down.

The evidence for warm-blooded dinos is getting stronger, Paine! See a
recent Nova program (Arctic Dinosaurs) about dinos in northernmost
Alaska. There is a preview you can watch.

The climate then (60 million years ago) wasn't as cold as now, but
that area had temperatures like southeastern Alaska does now. The
winters were quite cold.

Paleontologists first assumed the dinos migrated every year. That
ended up being impossible. It meant a journey of 5000 miles each way!
Those dinos didn't migrate. They stayed put and survived the colder
weather.

A very interesting program! I love dinos!

You know, AA. Fish. Fish are the same, and reptiles
evolved from amphibians, which evolved from fish.

On land, the cold-bloodedness continued with reptiles
being able to stir when temps rose. Then came some
species of dinos that had better body-temp regulation.
They were smart enough to realize that there was
good reptile hunting when it was cold. Then came the
mammals with the best body-temp regulation. That
sort of adaptation has helped them to survive and to
evolve even while there were still dinos around.

The ability to adapt, to adapt to changes of temp. and
other things. This much increases the chances of
survival during unexpected tumult.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Perhaps I'll try that myself someday, braving the cold;
but, right now, I'm enjoying my coding too much for that.


Wouldn't you like to code outside in the fresh air? Imagine coding
while your line is in the water waiting for that King salmon to bite!
I always wished to see a day when my work and pleasure could be

I remember feeling so cold while fishing in the rain, that when I
caught a fish, I could feel the warmth in its body.

Can't you just imagine a thundering column of Tyrannosaurus Rexes
lumbering south on their annual 5000 mile migration?
