Topic Reading-Vol.806-6/26/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Dinosaurs 'neither warm nor cold blooded'
Highly metabolized creatures such as mammals and birds need to eat a lot and often to move faster and think more intelligently. They also burn the food to keep their body and blood temperatures higher and more stable than those that don’t metabolize as much as they do such as reptiles and fish.
Which category is more economical or ecologically advantageous thus sustainable? Are there any creatures now or in the past that don’t fit to either high or low metabolic categories?
Some researchers seem to have an answer. Dinosaurs. They analyzed fossil bones of dinos and found that their growth speed fits between warm and cold blooded categories.
Enjoy reading and learning about metabolic system of beings.
