Dinosaurs are the extinct animals that inhabited our planet 225-65 million years ago (during mesozoans period).

In ancient times people considered these bones to be the remains of the heroes of the Trojan War. During medieval times and till the 19th century these bones were considered to be the remains of giants that were mentioned in the Bible and that died during the Deluge.

According to the recent investigations from the USA Universities, dinosaurs the remains of which palaeontologists find died because of suffocation.

Dinosaurs became extinct in the end of Cretaceous period near 65 million years ago. There is no one point of view on the reason for their extinction, scientists are not even sure either they died out gradually or suddenly. This point is the point of discussions nowadays.

Isisaurus colberti

The world was inhabited by numerous creatures and dinosaur that had different shapes and sizes, different forms and colours. That is why all these dinosaurs were rather numerous. But it is rather difficult to make the full image of animals of that period as there are a few bones and skulls found.

And the representative that had a few remains is Isisaurus colberti that is the less described and less investigated specie.

Isisaurus colberti was also one of the dinosaurs' species. It was described on the base of the discoveries made in India. This kind of dinosaur can be told from other dinosaurs by the high arms with the short forearm and by the big vertebra. Probably this dinosaur had the thickest neck of all representatives of this group of dinosaurs.

The skull of this dinosaur is badly known and its image was formed only by the theories. Its skull could remind the skulls of other titanosaurs.

There were probably some skin ossifications that were characteristic for all representatives of the group to which Isisaurus colberti belonged. And the length could reach 20 meters. Probably they ate leaves. And these creatures almost didn't have any fingers.

Isisaurus colberti is the dinosaur about which there is the lack of information. Scientists discovered only a few remains of these creatures. That is why there is no much information on their way of life, their eating and their reproduction.
