The Coral Reef

Did you know that the coral reef is the largest organism in the world? Coral reefs are in a lot of places around the world. Some of them are dying because the water is getting warmer and the fishermen are catching too many fish. When a reef dies it goes white, when they are alive they are colourful.

New Humpback Dinosaur

Did you know that paleontologists have found a new dinosaur fossil in Spain. It is weird because it has a 16 inch hump on his back. This fossil is the most complete meat eater fossil ever found.When I become a paleontologist, I hope that I can find a thousand fossils of this dinosaur.

The dire wolf and the gray wolf

dire wolf

Did you know that the dire wolf and the gray wolf were cousins. It is very weird that the dire wolf would chase his little cousin the gray wolf all around. It is also very weird how the dire wolf was stronger than the gray wolf and the dire wolf did not survive but his little cousin, the gray wolf was weaker than the dire wolf. How did the dire wolf not survive, but his little cousin did?

Short Faced Bear

I learned in a documentary today that the short-faced bear was the biggest bear to ever live. He lived at the same time as the saber-tooth tiger. He was 11 feet tall, and he is a cousin to the grizzly bear. By the way, the name saber-tooth tiger is a nick-name for smilodon.

Black Mamba

So I don't think that I want to ever go to Africa. Did you know that the deadly Black Mamba snake can move 15 feet per second. Too fast for me. When the Black Mamba strikes, it's venom stops the heart pumping. If you get bitten, you have to go to the hospital...if you can make it in time.
