THE TRUTH ABOUT DINOSAURS (Jul, 2006)

So many DIG readers have asked about dinosaurs that we decided to focus this issue on them! You're going to love it! You'll meet 11-year-old Jane and found just who IT is and how they managed to take the bones from the site to the lab to the museum. And, then Sue will tell us just how those fairly short legs moved - and how fast. We also tell you how paleontologists know this type of information. Heard about feathered dinosaurs? Well, we have the person at the forefront of this field to tell you what the 'real' story is. Another great article focuses on triceratops and how they used their horns to fight one another. You'll be surprised at the clues the led to the discovery. And, there is much more, including an up-close photo of baby dinosaur skin - right from the eggs themselves. Join us for an issue you are sure never to forget!
