All told, the Arctic in the Cretaceous Period was a rough place to live, especially in winter. And yet, the fossils of many kinds of dinosaurs have been discovered there. So how were they able to survive in this harsh environment?

    Hey Eons viewers--you may be scrolling down to the comments to ask what's going on with the °F side of our thermometer graphics in this video. And we're not sure what happened either! But we are sorry for the error. To clarify: ‣The mean annual temperature in the Cretaceous Arctic was 6.3 °C / 43.3 °F. ‣The mean annual temperature in the northernmost parts of Alaska is -12 °C / 10.4 °F. ‣The mean temperature in the warmer months of the Cretaceous Arctic was 14.5 °C / 58.1 °F ‣The winter temperature in the Cretaceous Arctic could drop to -10 °C / 14 °F

    As a motion graphics animator, I understand. Technical details like this are often left up to the artist to fill in with placeholders. The expectation being that someone will correct it during the review process. But sometimes the people reviewing never question it and incorrect information falls through the cracks.

    "reptile-like" isn't a thing though. That's how we categorized animals like a century ago. We also stopped considering that animals had to be either homeothermic or ectothermic, or even that all dinosaurs regulated their body temperature in the same way. There was likely some variation between different dinosaur species.

    @@Ezullof I think you put too much weight in the words I used. I am a biologist with a PhD and didn't get my degree a century ago btw so you don't need to be condescendent with me. I did use the term homeothermic, not endothermic deliberately. Of course things are not as simple and dichotomic as that. I meant, in a short paragraph that precluded all nuances, that dinosaurs living in the polar regions were likely not reptile-like, meaning ectothermic in a broad sense. I don't see why you made such a fuss unless you wanted to assert you know better. Not cool. The thing is, theropods included feathered dinosaurs, and the prelude to birds which are definitely endothermic. Feathers are a feature of endothermy, and this is definitely not "reptile-like". This is YT and the term I used is perfectly all right.

    I saw a documentary on Arctic dinosaurs and my memory was that the Arctic had a temperate climate like Ottawa, Canada. It was hot in the summer and had cold snowy winters and the dinosaurs adapted. Some moved further south where it was warmer and had no snow in the winter to look for food. Others just stayed behind. The leaves in the fall changed color and in the spring, the flowers budded.The Arctic had weather like Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia 55 million years ago with swamps, ferns, crocodiles, turtles, and some sort of lemurs because the Co2 was very high.

    However, the Hadrosaur wasn't different from its southern and warmer cousins. We have to be careful here. There's a lot more to arctic dinosaurs than just a higher ratio of surface area to volume ratios. Dinosaurs were most likely warm blooded due to studies of thinly sliced bone samples of dinosaurs from baby-to-juvenile-to-adult which indicated rapid growth as well as other factors indicating being warm blooded. As for larger theropods...just because we haven't found bigger ones doesn't mean they didn't exist. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence....as future discoveries could indicate larger theropods.

    Larger body also means blood takes longer to reach every end of the body and dinosaurs can’t make a fireplace it’s literally below 0• and if it’s an ice age they would have to find new ways to get warm if there body doesn’t create enough heat to protect them from cold especially if they are cold blooded

    The thermoregulation of different animals is so fascinating! So many different solutions to living in frigid conditions. Fur, hibernation, migration, size adaptations, reduced locomotor activity, clothing (in hominids), and now feathers as well. When you think that creatures as small as foxes and squirrels survive year-round in the Arctic today, seeing such big fluffy predators, longer than even polar bears, is incredible.

It literally had soft fluffy feet like an owl. There are some good images of it on the Wikipedia page for it. We know it had feathers because there is direct fossil evidence for it in the form of imprints, including near the ankle bones.

    What a great episode! Thank you again for this insightful video. I think we will see way more animal discoveries come from this area of the arctic in the future!
