Penguins the Size of Humans (Fossils found)
|
Quote:The fossilised remains of an ancient, human-sized penguin found in Canterbury suggest penguins once waddled the earth with dinosaurs. Now THAT'S interesting. Slightly bigger penguins is unsurprising to me because everything was bigger then (except for horses, lol). What is really interesting is penguins being around with dinosaurs. That paints an interesting picture. I wonder what else was around (I know crocodiles predate dinosaurs and during the Cretaceous period small mammals like mice evolved. And obviously the begins of bird and dinosaur hybrids like Archaeopteryx but I wonder what I DON'T know. Because I know a lot about dinosaurs. I used to know the names of hundreds when I was a child. I was obsessed. I still remember them all now but only if someone mentions them. Basically I know them all but I can't list them all anymore. Obviously I know all the obvious ones + extras and I know extra facts like how T-Rex was probably primarily a scavenger and Velociraptos were actually the size of turkeys. The large raptors that the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park were based on were actually Utahraptors. But Velociraptor sounds cooler. Allosaurus is similar to a T-Rex but from the Jurassic period whereas T-Rexs are actually from the Cretacous period. T-Rex has 2 fingers on each hand whereas Allosaurus has 3. T-Rexes are considerably larger. However there is a much bigger species of Allosaurus that also, like Allosaurus, looks like T-Rex only has 3 fingers on each hand. This dinosaur is called Gigantosaurus and it is actually even bigger than T-Rex. Spinosauruses are not actually bigger than T-Rex and Jurassic Park was lying again. Of course most of the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park aren't even from the Jurassic Period. In fact I'm not sure any of them are. Either most or all of them are from the Cretaceous. The largest dinosaur ever found was found in Argentina and is called the imaginatively named "Argentinasaurus". The largest flying dinosaur ever found was found where the Aztecs used to live and was hence named after one of their gods. That's right, it was called "Bob". ![]() Okay that's some dinosaur stuff I know I'll stop for now ![]() |
