What a strange bird!

Did you know that the velociraptor walked like a bird and even had feathers? And if you look closely at its claws, I'm sure you can find more comparisons!

Dinosaurs were a group of reptiles. But, they are more closely related to birds than to today's reptiles. So, the birds you see are actually living descendants of dinosaurs!

Who is the king?

Did you know that the T-rex, like the lion, had nothing to fear from any other animal? Therefore, the name tyrannosaurus rex refers to "King of the Tyrannos lizards.

🦖 Tyrannos is Ancient Greek for 'tyrant'
🦖 Saurus is Ancient Greek for 'lizard'
🦖 Rex is Latin for 'king'

A fitting name for one of the largest and most notorious predators ever!

An impressive day
