There are dinosaurs among us We don't even know they're there We can find them in our houses And in the city square In woods and fields and oceans Lakes and streams and trees On ice floes and on mountains Or wherever they please. They're not as scary as T-rex Or big as ultrasaurus But some have qualities which May be unpleasant for us. They're certainly a terror For things they like to eat Earthworms, rabbits, rattlesnakes All hastily retreat Though some eat seeds and vegetables And fruit and leaves and grass Some eat dead meat called carrion, Stuff we'd much rather pass. John Denver: The Eagle & the Hawk You've eaten some for dinner And seen some in the zoo They’ve been photographed & hunted Some folks feed them too. What are these creatures everywhere Let's see if you can choose Who the living dinos are From clues that scientists use. Let's start with tracks left on the trail By many different creatures Can you find the living dinosaur By examining the features?
