There’s a Stegosaurus Under My Airplane Seat Narrator: One day, there was a child named ______. A Stegosaurus followed him wherever she went. She always was afraid of the Stegosaurus thinking that the Stegosaurus would hurt her. She was going on vacation to San Francisco. She went on her flight Kid: There used to be a Stegosaurus under my seat. I was even afraid to look under my seat. When I was safe in my seat, I’d peek… Sometimes. Narrator: One day she decided to get rid of the Stegosaurus once and
The jurassic era approximately 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago full of plant eating dinosaurs roaming the Earth, oceans full of fish, and lush ferns like cycads and bennettitales. Dinosaurs, birds, plants, seas, forests of ferns, and hot climates… This was the Jurassic. At the start of the era the break apart of pangea occurred and continued new oceans occurred and mountains formed pushing sea levels higher onto the continents. All of this water changed this hot and dry climate into something with
Giganotosaurus means “giant southerner lizard.” These huge dinosaurs were meat eaters. They ate cretaceous dinosaurs. They lived 97 million years ago during the late cretaceous period. The Giganotosaurus is the largest meat eating dinosaur found so far. They are larger than T. Rex but not as large as the Spinosaurus. They are very large, but their brain was small. They are classified as a Saurischis dinosaur. They were 40 feet long and weighed 13 tons. It is believed these large dinosaurs
Estimating Dinosaur Behavior Dinosaurs are an extinct group of animals that thrived for 165 million years starting 230 million years ago in the Late Triassic period of the Mesozoic Era. Despite being extinct for the past 65 million years and not being able to study them in their true form, scientists have been able to estimate many different behaviors of dinosaurs. This paper will show that the close study and examination of different types of body and trace fossils, along with animal models, can
Fantasia is a 1940 animated film produced by Walt Disney. The movie is composed of interesting images alongside beautiful pieces of music that are conducted by Leopold Stokowski. The images included in Fantasia are what the animators believed the listener would create in their heads while hearing to the compositions. Although these images can be seen as strange and bizarre, they truly depict what the people in the audience may be feeling while listening to the music and the scenes shown will stick
Once a skunk had come plodding through our camp and it had sounded like a stegosaurus. There was another heavy rustle and then the sound of lapping at the spring. It was having a drink, whatever it was. I shuffled on my knees to the foot of the tent, cautiously unzipped the mesh and peered out, but it was pitch black. As quietly
intact when discovered in Denver. The Triceratops’ scientific name is Triceratops, which means three-horned face. Othniel C. Marsh named the Triceratops. Othniel C. Marsh discovered many dinosaurs such as the Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, etc. The Triceratops is apart of the Ceratopsidae family along with the Vegaceratops, Sinoceratops, and the Centrosaurus. It is classified by the horns on its head. The Triceratops was living in the late Cretaceous Era. It lived about 68 to 65

Crichton and Spielberg made a greater effort to get things right than anyone before them. Perhaps, they did misspell “stegosaurus” in the Embryonic Storage Room, but who is paying attention? Since the release of Jurassic Park, a new interest has emerged into the field of paleontology. Without this new interest, fascinating breakthroughs such as evo devo might have remained
Ceratopsians and Pachycephalosaurs Around 144 million years ago, began the emergence of the Ornithischian dinosaurs during the cretaceous period and diversified into North America and Asia. Ornithischians were classified as having a hip structure similar to that of birds, although they are not the descendants of birds. Marginocephalians, meaning "fringed heads" are a group of Ornithischians that have a distinctive skull structure, consisting of a slight shelf or bony frill on the back of the skull
could rear up on its hind legs with its tail acting as a third support so that it could reach up and feed on the tree canopy. This adaptability would mean that the Diplodocus did not have to compete with other low browsing herbivores such as the Stegosaurus for food (Farlow et al. 1997). Likewise, the secret to their efficient feeding lies in many dental and digestion adaptations ranging from their specially adapted teeth and jaws to their gut. First off, the Diplodocus have a row of blunt peg-like
Life Before Humans Over 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed and ruled the Earth. They were the top predators and where in an abundance of species. Today, scientist unearth their fossils and put them together to create an image of a lifetime. Even though no one was around when they were alive, we have an idea of what they looked like. If you have ever seen a dinosaur, you would probably think that they all were big giants that ate everything in sight! Although that is true, dinosaurs did eat almost
History of Taxonomy Taxonomy has a long history, spanning the course of over 2,000 years. It has grown and developed into one of the major branches of biology. Today, it is a universal methodology of grouping organisms according to their characteristics and their evolutionary history. (Source: Modern Biology 337) One of the oldest known systems of classification is that of Aristotle, who lived around 300 B.C. Dichotomies, or polar opposites, were what Aristotle based his division of the
with man, I'm taking you to a 12th century Cambodian temple that was constructed in 1186 A.D. There are depictions of everyday life carved on the walls of this temple much like the Inca Stones. There is one very interesting one that depicts a stegosaurus looking dinosaur that people still regard as fake. Its very interesting to find so much evidence of something that is without a doubt is true; and yet the people that are supposed to be geniuses are just plain dumb and chose to disregard all of
The Jurassic period was the second segment of the Mesozoic Era. It occurred from 199.6 to 145.5 millions years ago, following the Triassic Period and preceding the Cretaceous Period. During the Jurassic Period, the supercontinent Pangaea split apart. Laurentia, the northern half, made up what would eventually form North America and Eurasia. The creation of these opened basins for the central Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. The southern half, Gondwana, drifted into an eastern segment that now forms
were three of them inside a glass container. These dinosaurs have two horns on the head. I did not know much about these dinosaurs. However, I read that these are about 25 feet long and they lived around 66 million years ago. Then I discovered the Stegosaurus. These were kind of funny looking dinosaurs because they have really big bodies and tiny heads. At the same time they look really cool because their backs are covered with large plates and with large spikes on their tails. This one was found in
The Rite of Spring – Ballet Version The Rite of Spring opens with a mixture of aerophones in a mysterious intertwining of polyphonic melodies that creates a sense of mystery and suspense drawing the listener into its hypnotic, frantic, seemingly unstructured calls and responses. This is an excellent opening for the dancers. Rhythmic stabs of the violins are accompanied by perfectly synchronized jumping. The dynamics were consistently loud with thick textures in most of the opening scene. When the
Reptiles, the class of reptilian, are an evolutionary grade of eukarya, including today’s turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards, as well as many other extinct groups. Reptiles have existed on this planet for millions of years and have undergone countless mutations. One area of interest is how have these creatures defended themselves as their predators have evolved? Over time, evolution has caused the many subspecies of reptiles to develop a wide variety of defensive mechanisms including: camouflage
Jurassic world is real “indominus rex” at the box office, breaking several records on its opening weekend and continuing to draw audiences worldwide. The star of the show may be a human-engineered hybrid dinosaur, but the movie also features 17 real fossil species, from massive plant-eaters to flying reptiles. It was said that Jurrasic park 3 was the Last instalment as, Jurassic park III director Joe Johnston denied rumours of a fourth film in 2001. In June 2002 interview with Starlog magazine
Monkeys are haplorhine primates, a group generally possessing tails and consisting of about 260 known living species. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Most species are also active during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent, particularly Old World monkeys. There are two major types of monkey: New World monkeys (platyrrhines) from South and Central America and Old World
Introduction–First Iteration Summary Introduction In the late twentieth century, the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering has positioned itself to become one of the great technological revolutions of human history. Yet, things changed when Herber Boyer, a biochemist at the University of California, founded the company Genentech in 1976 to exploit the commercial potential of his research. Since then the field has exploded into a global amalgam of private research firms developing frivolous
