When the dimitridon (those sail-finned dinosaurs) is attacking the Count and the Professor, the Professor states that dinosaurs can't swim. Then why would a whole pack of them live on the seashore? If they can't swim, than what's the advantage? They wouldn't be able to catch fish, and crabs would be too small. [Crabs may be too small, but animals that prey on crabs may not be. Fish can also wash up on the beach, and they can scavenge them and larger fish or aquatic reptiles. Also, rivers and streams usually empty into the ocean, so fresh water would be nearby. If they also eat vegetation, there is probably an abundance of vegetation around a shore as well. They may also prefer the open terrain for its abundant sun.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
