Dinosaurs

My favorite animal?

There's truly one group of animals that I favor the most. Dinosaurs. Big or small, feathered or non-feathered, carnivores or herbivores, I love them all ever since I was a small child.

The thing I've always loved most about dinosaurs is how much we don't really know about them and what we have learned. We used to believe that dinosaurs were no more than giant, lumbering reptiles. Now we understand that they have traits that are more related with birds, including evidence that some species of dinosaurs were feathered. We've found evidence that suggests that some species travelled in herds and migrated, and they were nurturing parents having died next to their eggs. The more discoveries paleontologists make each year is a better understand how of these amazing beasts once lived, and a better understand of the origins of life on our planet. And yet, with the handful of discoveries made, we're still only scratching a small surface of paleontology.
