A difficult question, but do we know of any hybrid dinosaurs as of now? It'd probably to difficult to say to be honest, but it's something I've thought a lot about lately.

I don't think there's very much research on hybrids as of now.

Would you even be able to tell? As a general rule, hybrids only occur between species who are VERY similar to each other. So similar that any skeletal differences between the parent species are minimal or nil. It's possible several "intermediate" forms between species are actually hybrids, if the animals they're supposed to intermediate lived in the same time and place.

@54godamora: I suggest looking at videos of modern birds of prey fighting each other.

Indominus rex, of course!

Oh, you mean from real life. Nope, not as far as I know.

what do we know about the hell creek Lambeosaurine?
size? bones? what was it most closely related to? parasaurolophus? .....wait, how is that name properly pronounced anyways?

edit: what is the difference between the 3 parasaurolophus species and which lived the closest to the maastrichian?

I think! Don't take my word on this, but I believe the Hell Creek specimen was indeed a parasaurolophous. However I could be wrong as the article I read out of have multiple edits

Don't take my word for this, but I suspect that Maastrichtian Parasaurolophus might stem from a paper I recall that recovered Charonosaurus as a derived species of Parasaurolophus (and therefore Parasaurolophus jiayinensis), which would extend Parasaurolophus into the Maastrichtian.

Thank you :)

how is parasauroloaphus properly pronounced?(para-saura-loaphus or para-saurol-ophus?)

and this is more of an opinion question, but do you agree with charonosaurus being a parasauroloaphus species?

1.Today a lot of bird of prey choose pair for a life,- so my question is: Are there any evidence which shows that may some theropoda dinosaur species also live in monogamy?

2.Which Theropod Familys may hunt in packs ?

3. How pygmy hippos, Plesiorycteropus, Madagascan pygmy shrew arrived to Madagascar, and how they survive the journey?- Especially the shrew because today specific to many shrew species that they have to eat almost constantly.

4.And how many of them should survive the journey to make viable populations in the island?

4.Are there any possibility that a still an unknown, extinced dwarf elephant species also lived/ developed in Madagascar?

1. Although not known its believed a few maniraptors did but it's still speculative but if they were like birds I see no reason to no throw this theory out.

2. Dromaeosaurids possibly, a few tyrannosaurs are proposed, then there are allosaurus, and Mapusaurus. However the term pack hunting is used very loosely according to modern science.

3. Like many other island animals they probably arrived there on land rafts, swam there, or existed on the island before it separated from the continent entirely.

4. Kinda have to be a few probably not too much but just a small handful to get them started.

5. That's a tough question although pick me elephants do exist today in places like Borneo it's unclear if they could've survived in Madagascar if I'm right out of there haven't been any fossils to record

@Paleop The way I typically pronounce it is using para then saurolophous considering the name derives from the other hadrosaur. Also I see no reason as to keep them as two animals the same, they were virtually identical with the Asian variety probably being larger.

What are some dinosaurs and other Mesozoic animals known to have inhabited what is now Texas?

Were there any large felines like tigers or leopards either present today or extinct found in any habitats occupied by Gigantopithecus Blacki?

I think we know tigers were coexisting with at least some Gigantopithecus species, not sure if that exact one.
