Prehistoric DiscoveriesSeveral prehistoric discoveries have been making news over the past few weeks.Workers digging in Arizona discovered the bones of aprehistoric camel. Scientists estimatethe camel to be10,000 years old.This is the first prehistoric camel found in Arizona. Prehistoric camels were bigger than today’s camels.In the months ahead, the skeleton will be put on display.This summer, the bones of a new species of dinosaur that lived underground will go on display for the first time. Scientists found the 95-million-year-old bones in a burrow, or hole, in Montana. Inside the burrow were the bones of an adult and two young dinosaurs. The adult dinosaur was about 6 feet long and had a very long tail. It had long legs, so it probably ran fast. It had short arms that would have been good for digging.This is the first dinosaur ever found that livedunderground. Scientists think these dinosaurswent underground to get away from bad weather andto hide from bigger,meat-eating dinosaurs. Scientists also recently made a very important discovery about dinosaurs and birds. Now scientists think thatTyrannosaurus rexthe chicken are distant cousins!They learned this bystudying some material from a 68- bone. The bone material was similar to material in chicken bones. Some scientists have thought for many years that dinosaurs and birds are related. These findings help support that idea. MORE FACTS ABOUT DINOSAURSDid adult dinosaurs take care of their young? Scientists think the adult dinosaur found in the burrow may have been taking care of the two smaller dinosaurs. They will continue to look for more proof that dinosaurs were good parents.Bones of prehistoric camels have been found in Colorado too. Copyright EducationWorld.com.
