The Test of Time A Novel by I. MacPenn |
Hi. I want to know how the the brontosaurus is so big and had such tiny babies. How could they keep them safe? How did they hold them without breaking them?
from Avia S,

MIKE: Fortunately they did not have to "hold" the babies. Dinosaur babies need a lot less care than mammal babies. All eggs have to be small so air can get inside for the babies to breathe. Once the eggs are laid in a nest, the
mothers take care not to step in the nest. Having a nesting colony allows all
the mothers to take their turn as baby-sitters. Once the newly hatched babies
start to walk, their first lesson is how to avoid big feet.
