Cold-blooded versus Warm-Blooded Controversy
Directions: In this module, you learned about body size and temperature regulation strategies.
Scientists have argued for many years about whether dinosaurs were warm- or cold-blooded,
with most recent findings supporting warm-blooded(see this article:
http://www.livescience.com/21215-dinosaur-bones-warm-blooded.html). Compare what you
know about the Earth’s temperatures now versus then (65 million years ago) and to the animals
now versus then. What kind of challenges do you think a warm- or cold-blooded dinosaur might
face? Write a two to four page paper regarding this issue.
The paper must be in proper APA format, have a references section, and site at least 2 peer
reviewed articles. Please use AAU’s LIRN Library to search for these articles. You may utilize
the Academic Resource Center (ARC) for a concise guide on how to use LIRN and for APA
formatting guidelines.
