Discovery News reports that dinosaurs were teenage sex fiends who rarely reached maturity before popping out a couple of giant dino eggs and going on welfare.

From the article:

The find puts dinosaurs on the list of animals that had teenage pregnancies. Others on the list include crocodiles, lizards and humans.

The discovery, announced in Austin at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s annual meeting, also suggests why evolution favors early births in these groups.

“Dinosaurs did pretty much what we do and what most other vertebrates do,” explained co-presenter Andrew Lee. “If these species had waited until full size to reproduce, they would have had very few years in which to produce offspring.”
