They lived on our planet for more than 150 million years. That’s a very long time. Human beings have only Grandma Rex been on Earth about two or three million years. You can see how big the difference is here: The Dinosaur Bunch: Jurassic period The Cretaceous 200 million 150 100 50 0 Mary Microraptor years ago Abbie Ankylosaurus Reggie Rex All of Earth’s dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. We can’t be sure of the reason. It might have been caused by a giant volcano, or by a comet crashing into the earth. Tobias Triceratops Sammy Shastasaurus – Get up, Reggie! Reggie was very tired, but now, slowly, he was waking up. Two big eyes were staring at him. It was Timmy Troodon. – What are you doing here, so early? asked Reggie – It’s finally happening!Timmy shouted. – Ssh! Reggie hissed. – You’ll wake Grandma. Grandma Rex was fast asleep in the corner as usual. – But I’m so excited! Timmy said. – Any moment now … … mum’s egg is hatching. I’m finally going to get a brother! – It could be a sister, Reggie said. Timmy shuddered. – Oh no. Yuck! Then he started to wave his arms. – Hurry up, Reggie! We have to see the egg hatch! – Ok. I just have to go to the bathroom. But by the time Reggie got back, he noticed something was wrong. Terribly wrong. Timmy was gone. – Grandma! Had he left already? Grandma Rex pretended to Without telling him? wake up. – Uhm? What? she mumbled. – You can’t fool me, grandma. You have eaten Tim. Again. Spit him out! Right now! Grandma Rex sighed. She lent forward, opened her mouth and then… Grandma Rex was still snoring away innocently in the corner. Reggie stomped over to her. They ran out of the cave and hurried past the cycad tree, where Daddy Rex stood scratching his head. For three days he had tried to put up a hammock. With little success. – Where are you heading, boys? Daddy Rex said. – To my place! Timmy shouted. – My mum’s egg is hatching. – Don’t take the shortcut through the boggy forest! Daddy Rex said. – Someone saw big scary monster there today. Mum is out hunting him now. – We’ll take the Long Way Round, Reggie said. Guess what Timmy said right afterwards? … SPLAT! Timmy fell to the ground. – Say you’re sorry, grandma! Reggie said. Grandma Rex looked down. – I’m sorry, she whispered. Timmy wiped the slime off his feathers. – No problem. Hey ho - let’s go! – Let’s take the shortcut through the boggy forest! The boggy forest was a whopping great swamp. It was full of ferns, grass and thickets. Reggie shook his head. And of course, plenty of water too. – No, that is NOT very smart. – I thought you were a super-tough Tyrannosaurus? Timmy said. Reggie tried to laugh. But to be honest, his tummy was doing butterflies. Danger was lurking everywhere. Timmy hurtled along the path. First of all, you might sink right into the marsh. The moss gurgled under his feet. Especially if you left the path. Suddenly Reggie noticed a shadow. Second, there were all kinds of scary dinosaurs in there. Dinosaurs that swum, flew and snuck. – Watch out, Reggie! Timmy called. – There`s something right behind you! – Shouldn’t we take the Long Way Round instead? asked Reggie. – But what is it? – No, we’ll be too late, replied Timmy. – It is … it is … – Come on! Reggie leapt into the air. He clung to Tim. … A SCARY SLEDGETAIL! – But who’s this? The ground trembled. asked Reggie, shivering. – Why, it’s … … ABBIE ANKYLOSAURUS. And then she farted. Timmy said. – Oh, you really scared us, Abbie, Reggie said. – But what are you doing in the boggy forest so early? Abbie munched on some plants. – I have to eat a lot the whole day through. Or else I won’t get enough food. Reggie pinched his nose. – Yuck! – But we’re in a hurry, Timmy said. – My mum’s egg is hatching. I’m going to get a brother! – Or a sister, Reggie said. – No time to cry! Bye-bye! Timmy said. Then the two friends went … … even deeper into the boggy forest. The forest grew thicker. They had to push thickets and branches aside. It was really hard to walk in the swamp. After a while, Reggie heard a mysterious sound. Wosh-wosh, it said. – Watch out, Reggie! Timmy shouted. – Something is right above you! – But what is it? – It is … it is … … A SUPERFAST FLYING DINOSAUR! Wings flapped. Then a flying dinosaur swooped down towards them. Timmy and Reggie ducked into the grass. The flying dinosaur crash-landed with a splash. Right next to them. – But who’s this? Reggie said. – Why, it’s … … MARY MICRORAPTOR, Timmy said. – The smallest dinosaur in the world. – Oh, you really scared us, Mary, Reggie said. – But what are you doing in the boggy forest so early? Timmy hopped from foot to foot. – My mum’s egg is hatching. Mary brushed the dirt from her feathers. I’m going to get a brother! – I heard there was a giant predator in the boggy forest today. – Or a sister, Reggie said. I thought it might have caught an animal for breakfast. And that there could be leftovers. – No time to cry. Bye-bye! Timmy said. But I haven’t seen anything yet. No giant. No food. Then the two friends went … When they got to the rest area half way through the boggy forest, Reggie had to take a break. He leant against a thick tree trunk. But … … even deeper into the boggy forest. – Watch out, Reggie! Timmy shouted. Now they had reached the darkest – That’s not a tree! part of the forest. They fought their way through the marsh Reggie froze. Plish-plash, it went as they walked. – But what is it? – It is … it is … … THE BIGGEST AND SCARIEST DINOSAUR I’VE EVER SEEN! – But who is it? Reggie asked, in a high-pitched voice. Timmy shouted: – Why, it’s … … your MUM. Timmy peeped up at Mummy Rex. – Oh, mum, – My mum’s egg is hatching. Reggie laughed. I’m going to get a brother! – You really scared us. But what are you doing in the boggy forest so early? – Or a sister, Reggie said. Mummy Rex gave Reggie a stern look. – Ok, fine, Mummy Rex said. – But now I’m going to take you all the way to Tim’s home. End of story! Then they went all the way through the boggy forest. – I’m searching for a big and scary giant. But none of them noticed But what are YOU two doing in the boggy forest the big shadow that was following them so early? … You’re not even allowed to be here. When she came out again, she was holding something in her hands. The egg. Carefully, she placed it down on the ground. Reggie stared at it. – Oh boy, that was one huge egg! Mummy Rex said. – Super duper huge, said Reggie. The egg reached almost up to Tim’s thigh. It was white with grey dots. Then they heard a sound. Timmy sprinted towards the Troodon cave. – Did the egg hatch, mum? Tim’s mum peeped her head out. She was quite surprised when she saw Reggie and Mummy Rex. – Nope, she said, clearing her throat. – No hatching. But it’s about to. Tim’s mum rushed back into the cave. – My brother is coming! Timmy shouted. – Or your sister, Reggie said. They all went one step closer. Was it a brother? Or a sister? The egg’s shell cracked. The crack got bigger. And bigger. – But holy macaroni! Timmy said. AND BIGGER. – Why it’s … Finally it went «creak» and «squeak» and «crackle». Until top of the egg shell lifted, and fell down to the ground. … A HYPSELOSAURUS BABY! Timmy looked at his mum, shocked. – What is this? At that very moment the ground began to shake. Noises rose from the woods, – A little while ago, right behind them. I found the egg in the boggy forest, whispered Tim’s mum. They all froze, – It was lying there all by itself. as heavy stomps and mighty snorts got louder. No one was looking after it. A giant shadow grew. I had to save the egg, AND GREW. before a predator dinosaur ate it. A dark voice rumbled: – So it isn’t your egg? Timmy said. The mum blushed and shook her head. – Now listen up! If you have any sense at all... … you’ll hand that baby to me! The Hypselosaurus-baby climbed out of the egg. It crawled on its unsteady feet all the way to its mum. Then it clung onto her big body. They all spun around at the same time. Reggie’s face went all white. Reggie smiled at Tim. – Aww, look how cute it is. Mummy Rex cleared her throat. – Were you in the boggy forest earlier today, Mrs. Hypselosaurus? They all spun around at the same time. Reggie’s face went all white.

  • Brains and Intelligence
    BRAINS AND INTELLIGENCE The EQ or Encephalization Quotient is a simple way of measuring an animal's intelligence. EQ is the ratio of the brain weight of the animal to the brain weight of a "typical" animal of the same body weight. Assuming that smarter animals have larger brains to body ratios than less intelligent ones, this helps determine the relative intelligence of extinct animals. In general, warm-blooded animals (like mammals) have a higher EQ than cold-blooded ones (like reptiles and fish). Birds and mammals have brains that are about 10 times bigger than those of bony fish, amphibians, and reptiles of the same body size. The Least Intelligent Dinosaurs: The primitive dinosaurs belonging to the group sauropodomorpha (which included Massospondylus, Riojasaurus, and others) were among the least intelligent of the dinosaurs, with an EQ of about 0.05 (Hopson, 1980). Smartest Dinosaurs: The Troodontids (like Troödon) were probably the smartest dinosaurs, followed by the dromaeosaurid dinosaurs (the "raptors," which included Dromeosaurus, Velociraptor, Deinonychus, and others) had the highest EQ among the dinosaurs, about 5.8 (Hopson, 1980). The Encephalization Quotient was developed by the psychologist Harry J. Jerison in the 1970's. J. A. Hopson (a paleontologist from the University of Chicago) did further development of the EQ concept using brain casts of many dinosaurs. Hopson found that theropods (especially Troodontids) had higher EQ's than plant-eating dinosaurs. The lowest EQ's belonged to sauropods, ankylosaurs, and stegosaurids. A SECOND BRAIN? It used to be thought that the large sauropods (like Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus) and the ornithischian Stegosaurus had a second brain.

(2020) described new egg specimens for two dinosaur species, 14 identified as the first soft-shelled dinosaur eggs. The authors used phylogenetic comparative 15 methods to reconstruct eggshell type in a sample of reptiles, and identified the eggs of 16 dinosaurs and archosaurs as ancestrally soft-shelled, with three independent acquisitions of a 17 hard eggshell among dinosaurs. This result contradicts previous hypotheses of hard-shelled 18 eggs as ancestral to archosaurs and dinosaurs.

  • Short Review of the Present Knowledge of the Sauropoda
    PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAUROl'ODA.-HUENE. 121 SHORT REVIEW OF THE PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAUROPODA. BY DR. FRIEDRICH BARON HUENE, PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TUBINGEN, GERMANY. THE Sauropoda are the hugest continental animals the earth has ever seen. They lived from the middle Jurassic to the Danian period of the upper­ most Cretaceous. Much has been written about them, but nevertheless their natura! classification and development do not yet appear in a desirable clearness. In this respect the immense size of the Sauropoda has been an obstacle. The satisfactory excavation of such gigant.ic skeletons is difficult, and the preparation, which is still more important, needs trained, skilful men working for years. The scientific value of a skeleton is determined in advance by the degree of care by which, during the excavation, the original articulation or the original positions of the bones to each other in the rock is dealt "\vith by sketch-plans in scale as to make sure specially the sequence of the vertebræ. Because of the failure of this in many cases, we still know so astonishingly little about the natura! classification of the Sauropoda as a whole. Most has been written and spoken on the North American Sauropoda. Too little has been done with the earlier Sauropoda. The knowledge of the Upper Cretaceous Sauropoda until now is quite insufficient. The large amount of Tendaguru Sauropoda at Berlin and the recent excavations of the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh have not yet been described ; they will probably complete and alter our ideas of the development and classification of the Sauropoda.
