Who Studies Dinosaurs?
If you want to learn about dinosaurs, ask a paleontologist – that’s what scientists who study fossils are called. The word “dinosaur” has been around since 1842 and means “terrible lizard.” Today, scientists know of more than 1,000 different kinds of dinosaurs – and lots of new ones are discovered every year! Kids have made important fossil finds too. Who knows – maybe you’ll discover a dinosaur someday?
