Scientists found the first dinosaur bone in Antarctica. A man found the bone in 1985.

科學家在南極洲發現了第一塊恐龍骨骼。一名男子於 1985 年發現了這塊骨骼。

Dr. Mike Thomson found a bone on James Ross Island. He did not know it was a dinosaur. The bone stayed in a museum for 40 years. Then, Dr. Mark Evans looked at it and saw it was special.

Mike Thomson 博士在詹姆斯·羅斯島發現了一塊骨骼。他當時不知道那是恐龍的。這塊骨骼在博物館中存放了 40 年。隨後，Mark Evans 博士對其進行觀察，發現它很特別。

Professor Paul Barrett studied the bone. It is from a dinosaur called a Titanosaur. This dinosaur ate plants. It was 6 or 7 meters long. The dinosaur lived 82 million years ago.

Paul Barrett 教授研究了這塊骨骼。它來自於一種稱為「泰坦巨龍」的恐龍。這種恐龍以植物為食。它的長度約 6 或 7 公尺。這種恐龍生活在 8,200 萬年前。

Antarctica was not cold then. It had warm forests and volcanoes. The dinosaur probably walked from Antarctica to Australia and New Zealand.

當時的南極洲並不寒冷。那裡有溫暖的森林和火山。這隻恐龍可能是從南極洲步行前往澳洲和紐西蘭的。

This bone helps us learn about old animals. Scientists think they will find more bones as the ice melts.

這塊骨骼有助於我們了解古代動物。科學家認為隨著冰川融化，他們將會發現更多骨骼。
