It'd be mighty hard to tell - I, nor you, have ever saw a living one. Some bipdeal dinosaurs are known to be/have direct ancestors of birds. Looking at a bird skeleton, would you come to the conclusion that either one[instead of just for the matter of some birds] would have spent much time in water? Hippopotamus?
A lot of things change once you see something alive. Imagine reconstructing a cat's face from just the bones in it's skull.
