Critterature: A Lesson From The Dinosaur

Dinosaurs once ruled the earth And their bones are found all over. They're in the ground Just waiting around For some paleontologist to discover. There were thin ones, and tall ones, And fat ones, and small ones, But they all lacked one basic requirement. Though all were distinct, They all went extinct 'cause they didn't plan well for retirement.

This is a lovely look back at Earth's early days. We are still finding bones. The plants they ate are interesting too.

Thanks, Hilda. Too bad the "herbivores" don't get as much press.
