Christopher Joyce's 2009 article from npr.org studies the new revealead drawing of a 75 million year old extinct dinosaur through a humorous and informative article. Joyce informs the audience of the size of the dinosaur through humor by saying "it's a chicken-sized dino." Besides the dino being small he also weighed 4-5 pounds. He later (after an interview with Nicholas Longrich) explains that skeletons this small are very rare and even though these dinosaurs are small they still would've been able to survive and compete against bigger dinosaurs. Not only would the small dinosaur, which is called "Hesperonychus elizabethae," would be able to compete with bigger dinosaurs but also with earlier mammals. Joyce tells of how dino had been forgotten for 25 years in the museum collection at the university of alberta. There still may be other unfound dinosaurs.
how do new extinct species being found affect us?
do you think that Joyce's articl can cause a desire for people to go out and look for unfound species?
