Philip Currie is a world-renown paleontologist, and curator of dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. His work takes him all around the globe, including places like China, Canada, Montana, Mongolia, and even the Arctic. He enjoys writing children's books and digging up fossils, trying to piece together the story of the past. Two interesting twists he wrote in the dinosaur story were the theories of dinosaurs migrating in herds, and that of birds descending from dinosaurs.
There are many pieces of evidence that led Currie to believe in dinosaur migration and living in herds. At one location in Alberta, Canada, Currie found over a hundred centrosaurus. From the great number in a single place, he concluded there was a herd trying to cross a river. Much like wildebeests of today, some of the centrosaur were trampled and drowned. At another cite in Argentina, there were a group of half a dozen dinosaurs, implying that they traveled together. It must have been an impressive scene, seeing hundreds of dinosaurs roam across the land together.
Another interesting aspect of Curries work is his effort to connect dinosaurs with modern birds. One major piece of evidence is the belief that dinosaurs must have been warm-blooded. Scientist think this because dinosaur tracks are spaced far apart, indicating relatively fast movement, which would require a high metabolism. An example of a dinosaur that must have been warm-blooded is the dromaeosaurus. This creature is a small dinosaur with an incredible recurved claw on its front feet. From this, it can be implied that this animal would need to be very active to attack prey. One time, Currie found a Troodon fossil with a braincase. This braincase held the purpose of cooling its head with every breath, probably because it was a fast-moving, warm-blooded animal. All warm-blooded animals need to maintain a certain body temperature in order to function.
