　　Firstly, what were dinosaurs?

　　Dinosaurs lived on Earth a long time age; some dinosaurs were huge and had long tails-they were bigger than a whole family of elephants. Others were very small-they were about the size of a chicken. Not all dinosaurs ate meat. Some just ate plants. Not all of them were dangerous. Some were harmless.

　　When did they live on earth?

　　Dinosaurs lived on Earth for about 135 million years. Man has lived here for only 35,000 years About 65 million years ago, however, all the dinosaurs died in a very short period of time. Nobody knows why it happened suddenly.

　　How do we know about dinosaurs?

　　Scientists study dinosaur bones and eggs to get information. They discover how dinosaurs lived, what they looked like, where they lived and what they ate. Scientists now believe that dinosaurs were very colorful animals.

　　Were they clever animals?

　　In the past, scientists thought that dinosaurs were slow and stupid. We now know that many dinosaurs were fast and powerful. Some were not only fast, but clever too. They used the long claws on their feet to kill their food. Other dinosaurs were probably very stupid. One very large dinosaur had a brain the size of a peanut!

　　Do you think they could ever live on Earth again?

　　In the Hollywood film Jurassic Park, a scientist brings dinosaurs back to life from an old egg. Scientists in China recently found some dinosaur eggs similar to the one in the film. Could they bring dinosaurs back to life? It is unlikely, but in science, anything seems possible!
