Hadrosaur Family
Miranda dropped a mouthful of grass onto the wide pile of vegetation that formed her nest. Beneath the dirt and warm, composting vegetation were nestled twenty eggs. She pressed her duck-like beak into the mass to test the temperature. Then she added to the pile in that place. It was not quite warm enough.
Herman, her mate, was doing a similar job on the far side of the six-foot-wide pile. They both guarded the nest.
Theirs wasn't the only one there, either. Their whole herd nested in this area, and the ground was covered in nest mounds.
