I was looking the book "Scholastic Dinosaurs A to Z". On page 65 there is a
drawing of a Cryolophosaurus. It shows the dinosaur standing in Antarctica but
the picture looks like a jungle. How did the scientific illustrator know what
Antartica looked like when the Cryolophosaurus lived there? Thank you very
much. Sincerely, Jonathan
