Paraphrase

1. Dinosaurs are descended from a kind of reptile called Archosaurs that

Were a force to be reckoned with during the Triassic period.

2. Determining an animal’s intelligence is not an exact science, as many

things go into it, including whether or not it can do the things it needs to
do to live.

3. Scientists once thought there were two separate lines of dinosaurs

that were not connected to each other. Now they know that all
dinosaurs share an ancestor.

4. Fora long time it was very difficult to prove that dinosaurs could swim
because a dinosaur that is swimming does not leave any trace that it has
been there.
