Dino Babies!
Were Dinosaurs good parents? Were newly hatched dinos left to fend for themselves, like baby turtles? Or were they protected until they were fully grown, like baby eagles? Citing specific examples from the fossil record and making comparisons with living animals, renowned paleontologist Robert T. Bakker explains to young readers how we know that allosaurus babies didn t have to hunt for themselves; how giant titanosaurs nested in crowded rookeries and must have walked very carefully!; how Psittacosaurus was a dinosaur babysitter and numerous other fossil finds, all of which indicate that yes, dinosaurs were good parents. A world class pairing of dinosaur science and illustration for just $3. 99!From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Dinosaur Heresies
For over a century, dinosaurs have been thought of as plodding, dim witted giant lizards too awkward and ill equipped to survive the ravages of environmental change. Bakker offers startling new evidence destined to forever alter the perception of the much maligned monsters, depicting them as never before imagined: hot blooded, amazingly agile, and surprisingly intelligent. Illustrations.
