The Dinosaurs In Peru

Around the time that Gondwana, súpercontinente the southern hemisphere was in the process of separation by the movement of tectonic plates and in the Northern Hemisphere, the western part of America was linked to Asia and Eastern Europe, also in Peru lived the reign of the dinosaurs, this fascinating wildlife defunct which has subjugated the human conocimimiento. Bagua, Puno and Huanuco were the scene of life of dinosaurs and reptiles giant, whose findings can be viewed on replica at the Museum of Natural Peru, historical evidence of a past more than 75 million years. The Titanosaurios of Bagua:
During the Late Cretaceous, this today jungle region, it was coastal region, as the sea covered much of it in its waters primitive living crocodiles and ictosuarios, reptiles very similar to the dolphin. The horses of Retama there was an emporium of dinosaurs, which highlighted by the size titanosaurs.
Despite its 20 tonne, 10 meters long and five high, Titanosaurios were peaceful. They were recognized for their hips reptile and bone plates around his spine. His enormous tails served as a whip to defend themselves against predators. They were herbivores and tragaban stones to grind the 300 or more kilograms of leaves and plants that ingestion without chewing, despite its huge size, his brain was no bigger than a banana. In fossils found by Angel Izquierdo Jaúregui and Jose Sanchez, the Argentine paleontologist Jose Bonaparte, recognizes three types of sauropods, smaller than titanosaurs. One is the saltasaurio (hervíboro who also lived in Argentiina), hadrosaurio (vegetarians with peak duck who arrived in the northern hemisphere) and ictosaurios (eating fish and shellfish caught that with its jagged peak).
In Bagua also existed the metatarsus, a carnivorous dinosaur, ferocious predator that acechaba their victims hidden among the trees.
The curious dinosaurs Puno: In today altiplánico Peruvian territory, the dinosaur lived-ostrich. A beast apparently bird and a mouth with bony plates similar to a peak, and that according to some scholars, could well be a sign of the evolution of some reptiles into birds.
In Puno were found fossil of hadrosaurios so peaceful as titanosaurs, but who could stand up on two feet and develop curious transformations bone in the skull which they served to store air power and swim at your leisure in search of food. However, it became a source of food for dinosaurs predators.
In Lake Umayo would have settled the camotauros sartrei, a carnivore of over 7 meters long and weighing 5 tons. It was the only predator with cachos that used to fight for mating of a female. Its size and weight were not barriers to running nimbly behind his prey who placed at the distance, as she was a three-dimensional vision, very similar to the human The flying reptiles from Huanuco:
During the Jurásico, flying reptiles called pterosaurios developed almost simultaneously with the primitive birds. Fossils of them were found in the mine Huanzalá district Huallanca in Huanuco.
The huge peak, a ridge spin backwards, almost the same size of its body; had wings that allowed him to sail the skies and fly like butterflies. They were carnivores and are fed on small mammals and fish. Dormían as bats, hung from the trees.
When you were with wings spread could measure between 3 and 4 meters, glue and had not lived in cliffs from where they threw in search of their prey. They shared their territory with cocrocodilia, very similar to existing crocodiles, but 13 meters long and completely black. It is worth noting that during the Mesozoic eras, the Peruvian Amazon was an inland sea of salty water, but when did the Atlantic Ocean, for the separation of Gondwana; became a freshwater river system. Along with the dinosaurs, there proliferated fish fauna unique in the world, which remains intact in their ríos.y oxbow lakes. At that stage there was already appreciated paiche and peripatus, an animal that isnot insect or worm and that it has managed to survive with its two dozen feet hidden beneath the trunk and foliage of our jungle.
