The m ost fam ous of these anim als are di nosaurs. They li ved on the earth tens mil li on of years ago,l ong before hum ans cam e i nto bei ng and thei r future seem ed secure at that tim e. There were m any di fferent ki nds of di nosaur and a num ber of them used to l i ve in chi na. The eggs of twentyfi ve species have been found i n Xi xi a County,N anyang,H enan provi ot l ong ago a rare new speci es of bi rdli ke di nosaur was di scovered i n Country, li aoni ng Provi nce. When sci enti sts i nspected the bones, they were surpri sed to fi nd that these di nosaurs coul d not onl y run li ke the others but al so cl im b trees. They l earned thi s from the way the bones were joi ned together. Di nosaurs di ed out suddenl y about 65mi l i on years ago. Som e scientists thi nk i t cam e after an unexpected i nci dent when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too m uch dust i nto the ai thers thi nk the earth got too hot for the di nosaurs to li ve on any m ore. Nobody knows for sure why and how di nosaur di sappeared from the earth i n such a short tim e. We know many other wi l d pl ants, ani m al s, i nsects and bi rds any longer.
