Educational Objective

Most people do not realize that mammals lived during the age of dinosaurs. Their small size gave them a great advantage in escaping from large predatory dinosaurs. Cimolestes, which means "bug thief", is an example of one such mammal that hid out in the trees and lived off bugs and insects.
