Paleontologists study the long-gone species of the animal or plant kingdoms, paleobiologists studying the long-gone species of the animal kingdom, while paleobotanists study the long-gone species of plants. Their job is to find evidence of these creatures ever existing, and also to find out how the lived, what they ate, how they might have looked like, etc. Some paleontologists do dig up bones of not just dinosaurs, but all kinds of animals. Others do other stuff.

Paleontologists are interested in how dinosaurs live for two reasons. First it says something about how the earth has changed and what that change means to life, and secondly it helps in the understanding of evolution.
