How about I propose a different question to help answer this one. Why do we think that all dinosaurs had the same general skin palette? There are white humans, and black humans. Why not dinosaurs? I would expect tropical dinosaurs to be greener while more arid dinosaurs to be a more sand-like color. Maybe arctic white and ocean blue dinosaurs? ^_^
Scientists all know that the brontosaurus for example had pink leathery skin with black/purple dots. But people find it hard to believe and come with all kinds of questions like "what about camouflage?", so they just made it darker and more believable. btw. the T-rex had green long-haired fur
They (=scientists) watches (=watched) at (=random word to make the sentence even lamer) Jurassic Park (=movie about dino's) lal (=lame way of saying lol)
All skin colors are "hypotheses", educated guess if you didnt know, they look more into what would be the logical color. Before industrialization and before the humans destroyed Earth, everything was GREEN! (just about) Scientists hypothesized this was there color. Dinosaurs also largely resemble reptiles, lizards. Some of the color we see dino's as are based off of reptilian creatures. BTW: Today is "Dinosaur Day"! Happy Dino Day!
I have a Q....how do scientists know that dogs are color blind...as in they only see B&W...and same with insects....it stated in my text book...that most insects or some insects can only see "Blue, green, yellow, and red..."
