Researchers have found that cartilage in the joints of dinosaurs would have made them a lot taller.
The new research indicates that dinosaurs would have been a lot taller than previous estimates due to the thickness of the cartilage in their joints, the news also helps scientists understand how humans and other animals developed joints with such varying amounts of cartilage in them.Researchers at the University of Missouri and Ohio University have found that dinosaurs had thick layers of cartilage in their joints, which means they may have been considerably taller than previously thought.
