Of course i must do something useful rite? like blogging....so yeah..enough of my work..back to my topic :P

Well..this few days i've started researching on dinosaurs again..LOL..i remember i wanted to be an archaeologist one point in life..I think it was primary four or something..when Jurassic Park 1 was shown in theatres..lol..the huge lizard thingys just captivated me alot..imagine how earth was like in the past...one super huge land and millions of super huge animals walking around...imagine birds that are same size as humans... imagine four legged monsters that make humans look like part of their toe nail...i mean we could even be one of the blings blings when they go for their pedicure session..lol...anw..that was when i had this crazy dream to revive them..haha...maybe by extracting DNA from their bones and inputting them into an elephant's egg or something..ok..a dream..will be just a dream..haha..

Anw..i felt like posting about some facts i found out about these creatures so that i wont forget and at the same time educate my blogees..lol..but dont worry..i dont intend to change my blog address to http://educator-for-life.blogspot.com anytime soon..:P

1) Do you know that the dinosaurs were among the most successful animals ever to live on the Earth. Their reign lasted over 100 million years and i got a feeling they are so gonna 'pwn' (own) the human race..lol..

2) When dinosaurs first appeared about 230 million years ago, the world was very different. The continents of the triassic Earth were configured differently to today. All the land masses on the planet were joined together into one huge continent called Pangaea. This stretched from pole to pole and its central region was a vast inhospitable desert. Imagine..u can actually drive from singapore to london..if u had petrol stations along the way that is..

3)About 20 million years before the appearance of the first dinosaurs, the biggest extinction the world had ever known had occurred. Over 90% of all plant and animal species then alive on land and in the sea had died out at this time. Even in the Late Triassic the world was still recovering, and there was not the usual variety of life normally found on earth. It took more than 10 million years before ecosystems recovered and complex systems and larger animals took even longer.

Could you believe that even before the dinosaurs appeared..a biggest extinction has already occurred..everything was wiped out..for the arrival of the dinosaurs...and yes..there was NO SUCH THING as grass when the dinosaurs arrived...so if one day u do watch any documentaries with a dinosaur walking on this beautiful grass patch...u can think about switching it off already...no point watching cause it couldnt have existed..but i wonder if the next extinction is coming soon..since any comet / meteorite can just strike Earth without warning and its goodbye to everyone...so all i can say now is..cherish who u have around u..and do what u like to do when u're still healthy and young..:P

4) Hmm too many words will make this post boring...guess i'll post some pics..heh..And i've realised this amazing phenomenon...no one reads the words i type when i put in pics..=_= qiu qiu ni men..i took time to research and type wor! haha..ok ok no more boring words..presenting to u...the world of dinosaurs! ok..some of them...lol

First! Presenting to u..the common dinosaurs u see on tv...

This was a scene from Jurassic Park 1..
A T-rex chasing a man..
I forgot his name..


And now..a velociraptor..
The fast, hunt-in-a-pack dinosaur...


Ok..after seeing these common dinosaurs...u think u might have already seen most of them..but nooooo...there are some other amazing dinosaurs that we might not have known about...

Well..lets see the carnivores...

We used to think (or at least i used to think) that the most powerful carnivore during the jurassic period is the T-rex..but there are actually other fearsome carnivores that we always overlook...heres some of them..:D

Allosaurus




Some facts:
1) The Allosaurus can grow up to a length of 9.7m.
2) Its most distinctive feature was a pair of blunt horns, just above and in front of the eyes.


Giganotosaurus


Some facts:
1)Giganotosaurus means Giant Southern Lizard in ancient greek.
2)It is one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, and is actually longer than Tyrannosaurus-Rex.
3)It can grow to a maximum of 14 meters long and 5.5 meters tall.


Megalosaurus


Some facts:
1) Megalosaurus means Great Lizard in greek.
2) It is about nine metres in length.


And lastly...
Presenting to you...

Spinosaurus

Most people think that the T-rex is actually the strongest and most fearsome carnivorous dinosaur. But it has recently been PROVEN and CONFIRMED that there is actually a much strongest meat-eating dinosaur that walked our earth..and thats actually the Spinosaurus. The Spinosaurus actually appeared in Jurassic Park 3..and did face off with the T-rex..

Here's the article for the interested:

And now...the pics..

Face off between T-rex and Spinosaurus


Spinosaurus itself...

Some facts:
1) Spinosaurus measures from 15 to 17.4 metres (49.2 to 57.1 feet) long, around 6 meters (20 feet) tall, and reached weights up to 9 tons.
2) It had one of the longest skulls of any carnivorous dinosaur, estimated at about 175 cm (5.7 ft).
3) It was portrayed as larger and more powerful than Tyrannosaurus in Jurassic Park 3, in a scene depicting a battle between the two resurrected predators where Spinosaurus emerges victorious by snapping the tyrannosaur's neck. In reality, no such battle could ever have taken place, since Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus lived thousands of miles and millions of years apart.
