Nathan's Hadrosaur

Dude, can you tell me what a paleontologist is?

• Is it a scientist who checks out what's on the ocean floor?

• Or a scientist who studies living plants and animals?

• Maybe it's a scientist who studies plants and animals that lived like, millions of years ago?

• Or is it a scientist who is pale from studying too much?
