Chinese Dinosaurs

Chinese and Canadian (1) working in the Gobi Desert

Have stumbled across a series of 80-million-year-old dinosaur colonies —

Including one with a dozen 150 centimetre-long babies, and another

With five tiny embryos. These perfectly (2), uncrushed

Skeletons are now helping experts study the range of facial and other

(3) differences displayed by dinosaurs within a single species.

Because all the babies are of the same (4), they are

Certain to be of the same species and must therefore have a common gene

Pool. Detailed (5) is revealing marked differences between

Individual colony members, with some of them having broader or larger

Faces than others.

The Gobi Desert colony discovered this year is of a species of vegetarian

Armoured dinosaur known as an ankylosaur. China’s dinosaur

Discoveries cover the entire epoch of dinosaur prevalence on Earth —

From around 225 million to 65 million years (6). In the end

They were wiped out by a natural (7), possibly caused by

(8) impact. Detailed study from fossil material found in China,

And in North America, is helping to (9) that many of the later

Dinosaurs had comparatively large brains, mammal-style binocular vision

And more complex behaviour (10) previously thought. There

Were not, it seems, always the dumb giants as they are normally portrayed.
