In the far north of China on the border with Mongolia, Erenhot was once the home of dinosaurs. Grassland today, in the Cretaceous Period 70,000,000 years ago, it was a paradise of lakes, marshes, and thick forests. More than 20 kinds of dinosaurs flourished there but the most famous is gigantoraptor erlianensis, an 8 meter-long birdlike predator that made the headlines in the New York Times when it was discovered in 2005.
