They have been wandering if these animals existed…

Our planet is in the middle of the sixth mass extinction of mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and plants. We are currently experiencing the worst case of extinction than the dinosaurs which was 65 million years ago. Extinction may be a natural event but there has been a recent increase of species extinction from 1000 to 10,000 per year. This means in the future we may lose species every day [1]. Before extinction was caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruption and climate change but this…

Stingrays has been around for more than a 100 millions years. Stingrays have a many unique features like there skeleton, it has cartilages instead of bone. However thats not what so dangerous they have a very venomous tail. They fire their tail forward with alot of force and will release the poison when pierces the skin. There eyes are right on top of their body but they don't use them for hunting prey. They don't eat so very much and they eat anything living and small. They are very lazy and…

Abstract— About Sixty-five million years ago, one of last non-avian reptile species called dinosaurs vanished from the earth. The extinction of this huge animal is a never-ending topic of interest, the mass extension of dinosaurs occurred over a very short geological period. Keywords— Non-Avian Dinosaurs, Mass extinction, Dinosaurs extinction theories; Asteroid impact; Volcanism; I. INTRODUCTION Dinosaurs are the certain group of reptiles which influenced and ruled the earth for more than 160…

tion Questions Alannah Dodd Period 2 1. Explain the title of the book The Sixth Extinction is a book all about the fact that the earth as we know it has proceeded through 5 “waves” of mass extinctions, and is currently in the middle of yet another wave of mass extinction (the sixth). These “unnatural” occurrences have displayed shocking changes to the variety of species on the globe, hence the title: “The Sixth Extinction, An Unnatural History.” 2. What gave people the idea…

three movies in the series, you might think that they would have learnt of their incapacity to contain a dinosaur – precisely the reason why Jurassic Park was shut down at the end of the third movie. Twenty-two years later, the park has been reopened, renamed and revamped. The theme park, dubbed Jurassic World, is now owned by Simon Masrani (Irrfan Khan) who has taken Hammond's dream of a dinosaur amusement park to a whole new level. “If something chases you – run!” Sound words of advice given…

The velociraptor is my favorite dinosaur due to its high level of intelligence. The velociraptor was a carnivore and when it hunted in packs one of the top predators of its time. When it was alone the velociraptor ate mainly lizards and other small animals. It could also be a scavenger. When the velociraptor hunted in packs though it could take down much larger dinosaurs like the hadrosaur. It also ate smaller dinosaurs like pterosaurs. The velociraptor lived during the cretaceous period. Its…

extinction involving the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Researchers have discovered an array of huge volcanic eruptions in india 66 million years ago which released large amounts of gases into the atmosphere, which drastically altered the climate. This new theory does not in fact eliminate the theory of a massive meteorite being a leading cause for the extinction of the dinosaurs, it simply examines how the meteorite is likely to not be the sole reason of why the dinosaurs may have become…

Another theory can be that people saw dinosaurs or unearthed dinosaur bones. The notion that people have seen these creatures is highly unlikely, due the fact that humanity could have never walk the Earth at the same time as dinosaur. Dinosaur roomed the Earth approximately 235 million years ago, becoming extinct some 65 million years ago. The earliest recorded dragon legend was around 5,000 years ago. In Dragons or Dinosaur: creation or evolution, author Darek Isaacs (2010), he (and other…

Ichthyosaurs, or fish-lizards, are fish-shaped reptiles that lived in our oceans 160 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. Paleontologists discovered the first fossils in the early 1800s, far before dinosaurs were ever discovered. This genus evolved from animals that lived on land. They had more than eighty different species in their genus. One species of the ichthyosaurs is the Ophthalmosaurus. As an adult, this creature was two times the size of a human with a tooth filled snout.…
