Feathered dinosaurs

to the prehistoric times to hunt dinosaurs. Travis, the Time Safari leader, warns them not to step off the anti-gravity metal path made for them to walk on, for if they do, it will dramatically affect anything that were to happen in the future. The hunters are only allowed to shoot the dinosaurs that have red paint on them because the animals are going to die in the near future anyway. A T-rex appears around the corner and Eckels gets more frightened as the dinosaur comes closer. He runs to the…

If you were a dinosaur, my love, then you would be a T-Rex. You’d be a small one, only five feet, ten inches, the same height as human-you. You’d be fragile-boned and you’d walk with as delicate and polite a gait as you could manage on massive talons. Your eyes would gaze gently from beneath your bony brow-ridge. If you were a T-Rex, then I would become a zookeeper so that I could spend all my time with you. I’d bring you raw chickens and live goats. I’d watch the gore shining on your teeth. I’d…

Chordata is a phylum of the animal kingdom that includes animals possessing notochord, pharyngeal gill slit and dorsal tubular nerve cord. Although the name Chordata is attributed to William Bateson (1885), it was already prevalent around 1880. Phylum Chordata, though not the largest, is the most diverse phylum in the animal kingdom. Chordates are cosmopolitan and are well represented in marine, freshwater as well as terrestrial habitats from the equator to the high northern and southern…

the journey to aid you in making the raft. As you walk along, scan around for strong vines to provide strong fastening to your raft and logs, planks and tree bark as base. Another alternative is for you to try and spot the Aetodactylus, a flying dinosaur that can be seen in the skies of North America, thus useful for you to travel east to Eurasia and China. You can spot an Aetodactylus via its distinguishing characteristics- its long, narrow snout studded with sharp teeth but do not worry about…

of social sciences, claims, “The moral ideal of authenticity is that each of us find our own way of being in the world.” We find that way through undergoing life’s disappointments and achievements directly, not from handed down stories. In “The Dinosaurs”, Italo Calvino explores the concept of what it means to actively pursue an authentic persona in light of constant stories that challenge his character’s personal beliefs and opinions. Several prominent philosophers name authenticity as “the…

across, hit Earth on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It caused a huge explosion and left a crater that is about 185 kilometres across. This asteroid impact is commonly known to be the reason for the extinction of three quarters of the dinosaurs. (4) The asteroid soared through the sky at more than 40 times the speed of sound. (6) The earth moves through space in its orbit around the sun at 107,000 kilometres per hour. This makes the likelihood of an object to hit into Earth…

SOME DINOSAURS WERE LIKELY TO BE WARM BLOODED Dinosaurs belong to class Reptilia and so for many years scientists thought that they were cold blooded, with slow metabolisms and dominated the planet for about 135 million years. However, birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic, with fast metabolic rates, raising the question of whether or not their extinct dinosaur relatives were also warm-blooded. Whether the extinct dinosaurs were ectothermic or endothermic or…

history. They even said that a comet called the Shoemaker-Levy 9 sped towards Jupiter at sixty kilometers a second. That is really fast! It also told about how sixty-five million years ago, it is thought that one measly asteroid could have killed dinosaurs that inhabited the earth. During the middle of the story, it talks about how to express the difference between diverse varieties of rocks in space. Some rocks like comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. Today scientists are spot different…

unlike any other turtle ever recorded. Since Earth was somewhat wet and hot and full of rivers back then, it was suitable for the turtles. Scientists believe that this well extinct turtle possibly lived with dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, armored ankylosaurus, and giant duck-billed dinosaurs. After the discovery, Jerry Golden, a volunteer fossil preparator at the Natural History Museum of Utah, is now preparing to physically reproduce the specimen. Sometimes, fossils are our key to the past.…
