Here are some scientific facts about dinosaurs to make you crave more.  Scientists compared the flying dinosaurs with birds. They said that the flying dinosaur was too heavy to fly and stay aloft! But the high oxygen level of the Mesozoic made the atmosphere dense enough to allow the huge bird-like organisms to fly.  Scientists also wondered how they took off for flight. After all, the flying dinosaurs were cold-blooded, meaning they did not have a lot of energy. Later, scientists discovered that Pterosaurs were warm-blooded. Scientists have cool names for all that exists. Scientists like to call the flying dinosaur a Pterosaur.  Are there any flying dinosaurs? / Did flying dinosaurs exist?
