Researchers discovered fossilized mating display scrapes at Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado, suggesting that around 100 million years ago, small theropod dinosaurs, possibly similar in size to an ostrich, used the site as a lek to attract mates by performing dance-like movements, including a moonwalk-like motion, during the Cretaceous period.
Researchers using drone imagery have identified what may be the largest dinosaur mating dance arena ever discovered at Colorado's Dinosaur Ridge, revealing multiple lekking spots with evidence of different behaviors and usage over time, suggesting a significant site for understanding dinosaur reproductive behaviors.
Scientists have discovered a large prehistoric lekking arena at Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado, dating back around 100 million years, where fossilized dinosaur traces suggest complex courtship dances similar to modern birds, providing new insights into dinosaur social behavior.
