(1) A modern dentist would certainly enjoy having a hadrosaur as a client. (2) What a lot of business it would bring! (3) Though

an adult human being has only 32 teeth, this duck-billed dinosaur of the Late Cretaceous Period had about 2,000 teeth, with 500 along each side of each jaw. (4) Unlike human beings, who grow two sets of teeth in their lifetimes, the hadrosaurs, like sharks and modern reptiles, had built-in replacement teeth. (5) In skeletal remains of the jaws of these toothy beasts, scientists have found entire banks of replacement teeth. (6) These stand-ins rested in a bed of cartilage, ready to substitute for teeth that became worn down or broke off—like having a built-in dentist! (7) That is a good thing because microwear studies of hadrosaur teeth have revealed tiny cracks and chips, leading some scientists to believe that the dinosaurs ate tough plants that damaged teeth.

How does the passage foreshadow doodles death
stich3 [128]
In The Scarlet Ibis, there are many instances of foreshadowing through motifs that we see at the end all represents Doodle's death. One example is the Ibis itself, which had represented Doodle since the beginning. It was injured, just like him, and died, which he would eventually do. On a deeper level, the passage discusses the seasons. Originally, Doodle was born in the Spring. However, he begins to learn how to walk in the Summer a few years later. Doodle begins to get worse in Autumn because he has less training, and eventually, he dies in the Winter.
