    Scientists can learn about what dinosaurs ate by examining fossilized dinosaur dung, teeth, and stomach contents. Fossils provide clues about dinosaurs' diets such as some dinosaurs being herbivores that ate plants, and others being carnivores that ate meat. By studying trace fossils, scientists have also discovered that some large dinosaurs like Apatosaurus may have traveled in herds for protection.

    protect them. But whales are mammals.
    Sharks are not mammals. Also, sharks can
    breathe underwater, but whales need air to
    breathe.

    other reptiles. Dinosaurs had a
    hole in their hip socket. Dinosaurs
    may have been able to run faster
    and stand straighter.

    animal leaves behind, not part of its
    body.
    Scientist discovered that Apatosaurus
    may have traveled in herds.
