How Did a Baby Dino Lie in Its Egg?
Before a baby dinosaur hatched, it lay curled up inside the egg – a lot like a chick. In China, scientists discovered a tiny baby dino still fossilized inside its egg. It had its head tucked under its body, just like a baby bird right before hatching. Scientists gave it a nickname: “Baby Yingliang.” This find shows once again how similar dinosaurs and birds are.
