It was once though that dinosaurs like most reptiles,
abandoned thier eggs after laying them. In 1978, though, Maiasaura
nestss were found containing not only eggs byt fossils of babies of various
sizes. This suggesterd that the mothers very possibly took care of
their young. The plant eating Maiasaura had long face, a short bill,
and a horn like crest on its forehead.
