Dinosaur bones found in South Africa

The oldest ever found dinosaur nest was found in a national park in South Africa. Scientists have confirmed that the dinosaurs were herbivores. The hatchlings would have walked on all fours, but the adults were bipedal, a rarity. There was evidence that the nest was very well taken care of, with the mother returning often to feed her children. Also, next to the nest, the oldest found tracks of young dinosaurs footprints. This is a very exciting find for the paleontologists in south Africa.
