Bristol--The research released on Saturday, September 16th, 2016 revealed that the ability of camouflage has discouraged since dinosaurs era. The researchers reconstruct the color pattern on Psittacosaurus fossils, dinosaur from China are preserved.
The results were surprising, this dinosaur had a light color on top of its and the dark at the bottom. "The pattern of the color known as counter-shading, which is common in animals camouflage today," said Jakob Vinther of the University of Bristol.
With body color pattern, Psittacosaurus preferred to live in the woods with light blend. This facilitates their forest environment camouflage to hide from predators. Psittacosaurus often also referred as a parrot lizard because of its beak resembles a parrot. Her immediate family is three horned dinosaur, Triceratops.
The team worked with Bob Nicholls, a model makers three-dimensional artist Psittacosaurus. "There are thousands of scales in various shapes and sizes. Only partially pigmented," says Nicholls. He says it needs prudence to create a model Psittacosaurus.
The research team also made a three-dimensional model of gray. They examined how these dinosaurs drop shadow. Model gray photographed under trees and in open fields. This data can be compared with the best in the forest camouflage pattern. This pattern can be determined by looking at the type of lighting that is best able to hide dinosaurs.
