Dinosaurs… Where Are The Babies?
Jack Horner: Where are the baby dinosaurs?
Even though he found that his audience contained none of his favorite ages, three to 12, Jack gave his TED talk anyway and advised those present to: “don’t go extinct.”
His spellbinding talk tells the story of how iconoclastic thinking revealed a shocking secret about some of our most beloved dinosaurs, the scientists who collect them and the curators who collect and display them.

Another Form Of Extinction
Jack Horner and his dig teams have discovered the first evidence of parental care in dinosaurs, extensive nesting grounds, evidence of dinosaur herds, and the world’s first dinosaur embryos. He’s now exploring how to build a dinosaur.
Paleontologist Jack Horner discovered the first dinosaur eggs in the Western Hemisphere, the first evidence of dinosaur colonial nesting, the first evidence of parental care among dinosaurs, and the first dinosaur embryos.
Horner’s research covers a wide range of topics about dinosaurs, including their behavior, physiology, ecology and evolution. Due to struggles with the learning disability, dyslexia, Horner does not hold a formal college degree but was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Montana in 1986. Also in 1986 he was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.
He’s the Curator of Paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, and is widely acknowledged to be the inspiration for the main character in the book and film Jurassic Park.
