I think the author did an amazing job describing all the new species of dinosaurs. First of all, I thought it was remarkable that there was a new carnivore discovered that weighed about four and a half pounds, pretty much as big as a everyday chicken. The author also said that a new dinosaur with the fiber, "dinofuzz" that was discovered on the wrong side of the family. I really liked this article, unfortunately, dinosaurs are not my favorite subject.
I thought that the author was very informative about the new findings. I find it very interesting that a dinosaur can be the size of a chicken! I also think that it is interesting that scientist found a feathered dinosaur. Although, I think that the feathers are probably a scaly substance in the shape of a feather or something like that. I thought that this article was very interesting.
It's amazing how scientists are finding more and more information about the past. The raptors and this small dinosaur could have been related and living close together but eventually split apart because of evolution and the moving of land. Maybe they will find more dinos in that area, because it sounded like there were a lot.
I thought that the author could have used better word selections. However, it is cool that a dinosaur could be the size of a chicken!
I think that this process of discovering more about these animals is very fascinating. For example, once they thought that the T-Rex was a ruthless predator, new research shows that it might have been a scavenger instead. Even though they are discovering new species, I have to admit that these animals are becoming a little less amazing than they used to be. In '06 or '07, they found out that veloceraptors had feathers on their arms, suggesting that they might be related to modern birds.
I thought that it was interesting how scientists did not realize the importance of the small dinosaur back when they found it, also it was interesting to learn that not only one side of the dinosaur family tree had feathers, but apparently two do. I thought that the article was intriguing.
It's crazy that with every discovery of ancient animals or organisms, the evolution tree goes even farther back. 1,000,000 years to 1,000,000,000 years to beyond. These kind of things never stop.
I think that it is very cool that even though something existed so long ago, you can still understand their lifestyle. It is funny how a meat eating dinosaur is so light weight and small. As lucas said, It was a great article, but dino's are not my favorite.
I think that finding new dinosaurs is an amazing discovery I hope that the researchers will find more amazing creatures.
I wonder if there are any more tiny carnivorous dinosaurs out there. I thought that the dinosaurs would eat other dinosaurs like the velociraptor. But it makes a little more sense that it ate lizards.
It's crazy how large of a variety of dinosaurs we have discovered. Dinosaurs with feathers, dinosaurs 150 ft. tall, dinosaurs the size of a chicken.....
This article was very interesting. I had no idea that a dinosaur could weigh the same amount as a chicken! Not to mention a dinosaur with feathers. As a baby and in everyday life, dinosaurs are referred to as these huge creatures that would attack anything that got in their way. They had big teeth that could slice right through you, and died out a long time ago. Until now that is what I thought about dinosaurs. It's really struck me that this dinosaur seems to be on the wrong side of the family tree. While this article was informative and I learned a lot from it, I felt that is did not completely kept my attention. I hope that more discoveries like this are made.
I thought the author did a good job of informing us: where it was found, how big it was, its physical characteristics, and its binomial nomenclature. I thought it was confusing because I thought they were talking about a different dinosaur, or the same- anyways, I'll never know.
