"But before you start imagining T-Rex in a bra, Professor Else said dinosaur lactation, if it did in fact exist, would have involved secretions from the upper digestive tract that produce a ‘milk-like’ substance.“Pigeons, emperor penguins and flamingos all produce ‘milk-like’ substances from crop glands or glands of the oesophagus that they feed to their young through their mouths,” he said.“Since birds and dinosaurs share much in common I proposed that some dinosaurs likely used this feeding strategy.”Professor Else’s theory has been published in the latest issue of The Journal of Experimental Biology."

Reptiles don't incubate their eggs, so they are not likely to be around when they hatch, much less feed the hatchlings.

They have found mixed adult and baby dinosaurs and adults and nests. I believe the Maiasaur in the US and Protoceratops in Mongolia at least have. Possibly others. And they think they are closer to birds than reptiles. There are some interesting critters (Archeopteryx) that seem to be a little bit of both. Not to mention the 'raptor' on Velociraptor means "bird of prey". This is due to the skeletal similarities.
Jetavan has replaced all other news sites for me. I only get my news from him.
Please tell me we are not publicly funding such research, please, please.
If dinosaurs came back alive, would they be Lenten?

I've never heard of any finds of skeletal remains.
