Dinosaurs on Diets?

 Good,Morning

Sorry I haven't  posted in a while,I kind of lost my computer privileges.Anyways, this week I decided to declare it Prehistoric Week. As you know I have other weeks like this(Remember save captive animals week). Later in the week I will post a schedule so you know wen there will be special weeks.Now here are our latest news updates.Scientist have created a new laser technique to measure the weight and size of animals including dinosaurs, and found out these big creatures didn't weigh as much as we though.  University of Manchester biologists used lasers to measure the minimum amount of skin required to cover the skeletons of modern day animals.Scientist found that in each of the cases the animals had almost exactly 21 percent more body mass than the bare minimum skin and bone.After that they decided to Apply this to a giant Brachiosaur skeleton in Berlin’s Museum für Naturkunde produced a much lower weight than other estimates, which have ranged to as high as 80 tonnes. But, the new technique produced a figure of just 23 tonnes.Now that doesn't mean they were light but just lighter.They may have estimated the weigh but remember know one really knows what dinosaurs weigh .Thank you for reading and join me next time.
