Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago before humans were walking on this planet. There are 700 subspecies of dinosaurs known to people, but there are still more to be discovered. They once walked on the very same land as you. They flew in the same sky that is outside your window. They lived in what is now the US, Brazil, and Canada. They also lived in Mongolia. The vast expanse of desert between Russia and China, Mongolia is nomadic land, and once home to dinosaurs. How do people know? The fossils are still there.
Out in the Gobi Desert, if you study the mountains, you will find millions of years of history right in front of you. These dinosaur bones and shells lived through the Holocaust, the Great Depression, droughts, floods, and so much more. They were once alive millions of years ago. Before there were humans. Before there were cats. Before there were mice. These bones, these shells, are some of the few ones that you can find while out on a hike today. If you look anywhere and everywhere in all of the USA, you will probably still not find one. But in Mongolia, thousands, millions, maybe billions can be found. Not only that but if you are a paleontologist, Mongolia is the place to look for fossils, as many species have been found there. Unfortunately, no one can take any shells home, but a picture of you and a dinosaur bone would be enough to impress anyone! So fly to Mongolia and dig up some bones from the dirt that was once home to many living creatures called Dinosaurs.
This is wonderfully written. Sounds like a travel brochure for Mongolia. Well done, Anika.
