Feathered dinosaurs

In the movie Twelve Monkeys, directed by Terry Gilliam, we see a post-apocalyptic world devastated by an unknown virus that spread and killed five billion people in 1997. The survivors moved underground, leaving the surface of the earth to be ruled by wild animals. Now, in 2035, prisoner James Cole has "volunteered" to return to 1996 as part of a scientific research, in hopes that man will be able to re-inhabit the surface of the earth. His mission: to find the "Army of the 12 Monkeys" who, it…

The original Zoolander was released many years ago in 2001. But the movies seems to never go out of style. Ben Stiller's satire continues to be a fan favorite (even though Zoolander 2 slightly jeopardized the brand). As many times as you've watched those epic moments and interactions between Derek and Hansel, there are still many facts you don't know about "Zoolander." So put on that Blue Steel and read on the first part of "15 things you didn't know about Zoolander." Number 1: Derek Zoolander…

Prehistoric creature such as dinosaurs were believed to be wiped out by a meteorite/asteroid or another catastrophic event. How did an asteroid cause a mass extinction causing the majority of a planet’s population to die? Newton’s laws of motion can explain how and why a asteroid caused a mass extinction wiping out an entire planet’s evolution. Scientist have multiple hypotheses leading to the end of the Cretaceous Era or T-K event. One of such, is the astronomical event that hit the earth…

Did one single disaster cause the K-T extinctions? Some scientists and people are committed to just one reason the K-T extinctions occurred but in this paper many possibilities will be explored with evidence to back up why they could have been a cause as well to the extinctions. Everyone will ultimately make his or her own decision/thoughts on what could have happened, and of course all hypotheses would be subject to analysis. Asteroid impact theory. The impact of a 10 km+ asteroid would blow a…

exhibits ranging from animals, dinosaur fossils, and modern science. When I entered the Hall of Ancient Life there was a life-size cast of dinosaurs all over the gallery, including a 40 foot long skeleton of an Acrocanthosaurus that I learned existed in North America during the early Cretaceous period. I even got to learn fun facts about some of the dinosaurs that I didn’t know before like the Triceratops it was one of the last surviving species of ornithischian dinosaurs that belonged to a…

Since the discovery of fossils in the early 19th century, people have wondered how the dinosaurs went extinct. Many theories have since come about, however, even today we cannot be sure what exactly whipped out these magnificent and colossal beings. In 1679, Robert Plot found and sketched a thigh bone which he believed was from the skeleton of a giant man This fossil has since disappeared, however the drawing remains and seems to suggest it was actually a part of a megalosaurus. In 1822, Mary…

Ian Miller is a Paleontologist who works for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Ian Miller’s problem is that he wants to find out how Western North America changed from the past 100 million years, what past climates were like 100 million years ago and the fossil ecosystems that existed 100 million years ago. Through solving and studying this problem, there have been many obstacles to solving his questions. Although obstacles causes trouble and hardships through experiments and test, Ian…

I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…

difference of what is natural, and what is artificial. He uses the idea of scientifically bringing back extinct dinosaurs, and creating a zoo for these reptiles. This fictional idea of bringing back prehistoric animals traps us in wondering the big question. Are these dinosaurs actually real, or are they just artificial beings used for science, and entertainment? These cloned dinosaurs are completely artificial, and are not meant to live in this world. What makes anything natural? Everybody…

thinking because it is such an outrageous claim and immoral action. There are mainly other voices of reason that try to speak up within Jurassic Park, such as Dr. Malcom, Ellie and the Lawyer. Dr. Malcom and Ellie are both concerned more for the dinosaurs and the wellbeing of the newly recreated ecosystem that’s been developed. The lawyer is obviously concerned with the safety of the civilians visiting the park not for their protection, but so that investors can make the most profit possible off…
