A mother dinosaur carefully arranges a nest in the dirt and waits for her little ones to hatch, just like a bird would.
Dinosaurs laid eggs to bring their babies into the world, just like birds do today. A mother dinosaur would build a nest, often in a carefully shaped mound of dirt or sand, lay a clutch of eggs, and in many species stay nearby to guard them until they hatched.
Dinosaurs did not give live birth like mammals do, nor did their babies grow underground on their own — eggs laid above ground in nests are what the fossil record consistently shows across dinosaur species.
Scientists have found entire fossilized dinosaur nesting grounds with dozens of nests clustered together, suggesting some dinosaur species returned to the same spots year after year to lay their eggs, much like some birds and sea turtles do today.
