Have you ever snuck around on tip-toe?
If you have, you've been imitating a dinosaur, because all dinosaurs walked around on their tip-toes all the time.
Check out Camptosaurus here behind me.
Camptosaurus is a plant-eating dinosaur, or herbivore, that lived in the late Jurassic time period about 150 million years ago, and if you look at those back legs, you'll see that Camptosaurus is up on its tip-toes.
But Camptosaurus was even cooler than that.
In addition to walking around on its hind legs, it could get down onto all fours when it needed to move slowly, like maybe when it was feeding.
So, it could shift from two wheel drive to four wheel drive.
How cool is that?
And then shift from four wheel drive to two wheel drive when it needed to take off and go fast.
So remember, the next time you're out tip-toeing around sneaking up on somebody, you are actually imitating a dinosaur.
Okay, get outside, get into nature, and make your own discoveries.
