It is thought that some dinosaurs could survive in near-freezing conditions and would have occupied what is now the arctic, a new stash of fossils discovered indicate that a viable breeding population would have once lived there.
You know the scenario: 65 million years ago, a big meteor crash sets off volcanoes galore, dust and smoke fill the air, dinosaurs go belly up. One theory holds that cold, brought on by the Sun's concealment, is what did them in, but a team of paleontologists led by Pascal Godefroit, of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels, argues otherwise."
