Read the text for answer the question below.
How do scientists work out the way herbivorous dinosaurs ate their food?
Scientist work out how herbivorous dinosaurs ate their food by looking at their skeletons.
When scientists find long fossils of neck bones, they have evidence of creatures that had very long necks. From this, they deduce that those creatures ate leaves from the tops of very tall trees.
Scientists also look at the fossilized jaw bones of a dinosaur. When they see comb-like front teeth, they deduce that this creature plucked or tore leaves from trees.
Next, scientists look for grinding teeth at the back of the jaw bones. If they cannot find any, they look in the stomach cavity for large stones. Scientists compare these to stones found in the gizzards of some present – day birds. These birds swallow stones to help grid up the food that they eat. Scientist think the stones to help grind up the food that they eat. Scientists think the stones inside the dinosaurs did the same job.
Fossilized bones give us clues about how dinosaurs lived. When scientists compare them with the bones of modern-day creatures, they can tell how the dinosaurs gathered their food and even how they ate it!
