Alaskan Dinosaurs

A team of intrepid paleontologists discovers that dinosaurs thrived in the unlikeliest of places—the cold and dark of winter in the Arctic Circle. How did they survive year-round and raise their young in frigid and dark winter conditions?

Fossilized feces remains indicate that herbivorous dinosaurs living in the North may have eaten rotten wood—and the insects living in it—to survive winter.

Scientists in Alaska discover the remains of seven different dinosaur species in the earliest stages of their development. Could baby dinosaurs have hatched in the Arctic and migrated thousands of miles with their parents to avoid polar winter?

During the Cretaceous, Alaska was even farther north than it is today and part of the state would have experienced four months of total darkness.
