Did the camarosaurus have a mullet?

Look out the window. You'll see them migrating south for the winter.

Wait, now they're telling me there were seasons?

Next they'll be saying the Arctic was a temperate forest with feathered dinosaurs roaming the hinterlands.

I was just thinking of this very issue that other day... If birds fly south for the winter, and they descended from dinos, its quite likely that dinos also migrated during cold months.

Think less of cold months and more of dry seasons.

If by flying dinos, you mean Pterosaurs (which aren't actually dinosaurs) they certainly did migrate, however the reason why is still not known. The temperature was fairly stable (as can be shown by analyzing oxygen isotope ratios in invertebrates) with only obvious fluctuations at the poles due to the whole 3 solid months of no sunlight thing still.
