"Town" isn't used under this classification scheme.<br /><br />I've gotten the impression, from what I've read, that reptiles tend to keep growing all their life to the limit of what their diet and environment will support. So small dinosaurs could be allowed to grow as livestock (and pest control and a source of eggs---which is a wrinkle I hadn't thought of) until they're too big (and start becoming a danger to pets, children, or other livestock, or take too much of the food supply), then slaughtered for food (and other uses---leather from their skin, perhaps).Jonathan Lovelacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626331610924580430noreply@blogger.com
