Summary: The article states that male dinosaure were most likely polygamists. Polygamy means they have more than one wife. Either males were parents alone or they had all of their many wives tend to their eggs. It is said that they would mate with multiple femals then have all the females lay their eggs in one big nest. After all the eggs were laid the male would more often than not care for the eggs alone. The theory arose when scientists came to the realization that all the nexts were together in large amounts of eggs.
Opinion: I think its kind of cool that the males for once took responsibility for their children. Since in todays world the males never take responsibility for their children. Most of them work, eat, sleep, and watch all sports. But to think that dinosaurs had that mentality and that they could care for their children; for once in this world males have the "motherly" instinct to care for their children.
