Best Answer

Dinosaurs, except the flying ones, did not have the capacity to cross wide bodies of salt water. Land dinosaurs migrated as other animals do, in search of food or better environments. It was the separation of continents (continental drift) that led to dinosaur bones of the same species being found in areas thousands of miles apart and on the other side of the ocean. The oceans did not exist in their current locations when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth, some 65 to 230 million years ago.
