- giant dinosaurs may have no longer roamed the forest,
巨大的恐龙也许不再主宰森林 - but their tiny cousins had recolonized them
但它们的小表弟以一种全新的方式 - in a completely new way.
重新占领了森林 - But becoming small wouldn't work in every part of the planet.
但变小并不适用于地球的每一个地方 - The death of the dinosaurs
恐龙的灭绝 - had left many of Earth's great habitats free for the taking.
使地球上许多重要的栖息地 变得唾手可得 - None more so than the plains.
平原尤其如此
