Located in the badlands of Alberta, Canada is a place of such stellar beauty and awe-inspiring landscapes, it takes your breath away. Dinosaur Provincial Park is not only a place great creatures roamed 75 million years ago, it's also their graveyard.

Paleontologists have devoted a surprising amount of research effort to explaining how dinosaurs had sex. As expected, explaining how a four-storeys high, 30-ton lizard such as T. Rex, speculated as equipped with 12 ft long penis, had sex proves tricky.

And then there are the museums.

The ancient world had something ours doesn’t: Venomous bird lizards. Sinornithosaurus would have been a deadly part of any ecology, past or modern. Scientists have discovered indications of a snake-like venom delivery system.
|
|
Pterosaurs were the earliest known flying vertebrates and a fossil found recently in China indicates that these creatures had unique and complex wing fibers that enabled them to fly with great precision. Read on and…shiver.

Australian-based paleontologists had finally found evidence that the wondrous prehistoric reptiles, commonly known as dinosaurs, once roamed the fields of down under.
|
|
It's a secret. There is such a thing as Australian parochialism in paleontology, in naming dinosaurs, like everything else. Clancy, Banjo and Matilda are named after Banjo Patterson’s poem Clancy of the Overflow, and Waltzing Matilda.
