       Unlike modern animal scientists, dinosam scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to

watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents Instead, they

have to search hard for information from dinosaurs’fossils（恐龙化石）because dinosaurs died out

millions of years ago.

       It’s very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from

the same fossils, Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They

might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuct（陷入）all st once. Or they might have

been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thys we

can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.

      Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds

of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “That’s pretty much settled at this point.” Says Paul Sereno, A kind of

dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and

south,suggesting that they even moved long distances together.

      As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living

relativers of dinosaurs―birds and crocodiles―for possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young,

while crocoeiles just help their young to the water, The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their gees

and staying with their  young  suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say

that all dinosaurs did the same.

       There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will

have to find more proof to reach an agreement.
