What can modern animals teach us about extinct dinosaurs?

Is it scientifically feasible to hypothesize about the behaviors and habits of extinct animals based on the behaviors of modern animals? I sit down with our Paleontology Lab Manager, Collin Diggins (and special guest) to discuss just that!

Best thing about the keratinous sheaths around triceratops' horns is that they would likely have been waaay bigger than just the bone cores, which are already huge!

Love this discussion between the three of you. Please continue with this format.

I watched a dinosaur documentary when I was younger they said that the triceratops was like Rhinoceros and a Bull .

Brilliant, I love rhinos because to me they are the closest thing I'll ever see to a real life Triceratops.

One thing that's hilarious about prehistoric vs modern crocodiles is that the phytosaur & pseudosuchian clades are labeled as "false crocodiles" even though they evolved *before* modern crocodilians‼️ 😂💀 Also, the fact that rhinos are mammals & dinosaurs are reptiles doesn't necessarily make them bad analogies for one another because most dinosaurs were *also* endothermic 💯
