Sauroparental care
OK, the question of how Saurpods avoided trampling their young into
brontoburgers must be considered... one idea is that the eggs were laid
in rather deep/wide burrows dug in the ground. The hatchlings would
then live there until they were large enough to emerge, and clever
enough to avoid their elders' feet. Another possibility is the young
lived on mud-islands created by the adults in lakes.
