Dragons & Pterosaurs!
Dragons may be portrayed as the largest animals to command the skies in movies and novels. However, Pterosaurs were the largest animals to take flight on Planet Earth (discovered so far). Check out Dinosaur Hall at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles to see a few Pterosaurs that ruled the skies 228 to 66…
The Largest Dinosaur!
How do you determine the Largest Dinosaur – Length, Height, Weight? Or do you separate them by type – Herbivore, Omnivore or Carnivore? I recently enjoyed Jurassic World: Dominion. Many new Dinosaurs were brought to life on screen. Some reflecting Our most recent knowledge and a few still with the Hollywood Extras not part of…

Tales claim Dragons live in dank caves, deep pools, wild mountain reaches, sea bottoms and haunted forests. Basically, places that would have been very dangerous for our early human ancestors.

The Dinosaur that Won the “Your Image on the Planters” is… drum roll… Compsognathus! You remember them from the Jurassic Park Movies. They could get quite a bit large than…
When a T-Rex Missteps
I believe a Mom T-Rex was searching for her young in the Park and took a bad step bringing down a significant portion of one of the Brazilian Pepper Trees. I didn’t she her during her visit, but I’m guessing it might have looked something like the above. I always try to make Lemonade when…
