Ever wondered how dinosaurs… er…you know…did it?

Check out this discussion between expert biologists and palaeontologists at the Ask a Biologist website about the latest theories on dinosaur sex, from balancing sauropods to spiny stegosaurs.

Yuk! You just destroyed my idea of dinosaurs as pure and chaste animals, who did "certain things" hidden in the jurassic jungle, on a tender bed of cycads and other plants (no grass at that time, yet).

Seriously though, thanks for the link, I will enjoy the read ;-)

Thanks for the link! Sex (and sexual selection) is certainly overlooked when it comes to evolution, and it would be great to find out more about how dinosaurs "shook the earth" in a way other than stomping around.
