[00:35.46]Bill:Were any dinosaurs bigger than this one?
[00:40.39]Dean:Oh,yes!Some grew ot be bigger than houses.
[00:46.04]And some were smaller than my backpack.
[00:50.47]Bill:Why aren't there any dinosaurs now?
[00:54.72]Dean:The last ones died out about 64 million years ago.
[01:00.95]Maybe this happened because the Earth got too cold for them.
[01:06.02]Or some people think a comet hit the Earth.
[01:10.45]Bill:Oh,I'm glad we weren't around then.

[03:20.88]"Look at the size of those teeth!"said Marcos.
[03:31.43]"They are huge!Like sharp spikes!
[03:36.97]And those bony plates on its head are a meter longer than those of most other dinosaurs.
[03:44.93]Just what kind of dinosaur is this,Dr.Anita?"
[03:50.36]Anita smiled and looked at the big foossil again.
[03:55.73]"I named her Anitasaurus,"Anita told him.
[04:03.40]"Isn't she sweet?I hunted for her for years.
[04:10.34]She's bigger than a T.rex.She's bigger than anything!"Anita picked up a chisel.
[04:18.19]"Come on,Marcos.Help me cut the rock from her leg bone."
[04:23.95]"The last dinosaurs died 65 million years ago,"said Marcos.
[04:31.19]"But they are still making work for me now!"
[04:35.83]Anita looked at Anitasaurus.The fossil was so different!
[04:44.15]Its head was the size of a car.
[04:48.61]And it had four horns on its head and five claws on every foot.
[04:56.35]Anita was so happy she found Anitasaurus."Come on,Marcos,"she said.

[05:24.11]She was not digging up the dinosaur,after all.
[05:28.93]She was just dreaming she was digging up the dinosaur!
[05:34.37]"I am going to find a real dinosaur one day,"Anita said.
[05:40.81]"I really am.And when I find it,I am going to name it Anitasaurus!"
