How Did Baby Dinos Learn to Walk?
Here’s something amazing: some dinosaurs walked completely differently as babies! Studying Mussaurus from Argentina, scientists found that babies first crawled on all fours. Only when they got bigger did they walk on two legs. Its name means “mouse lizard,” because the first babies found were so tiny they fit in a hand. A bit like human kids: crawl first, then walk!
