>In a related vein, is anyone aware of any extant birds that lie on
their
sides like a cat or dog? If they do, it might indicate that dinosaurs were capable of the same behavior. wrote Roger Compton< Many birds lie on their sides like a cat or dog, occasionally . Chicken
often practice this pose when sunbathing and dusting. It is quite probable that
bipedal dinosaurs of smaller up to the size of one ton or so, behaved in a
similar way. Heavier dinosaurs might have avoided this position on dry ground
and used it only when wallowing.
