New Evidence Suggests Tyrannosaurs Hunted In Packs

One of the most frightening creatures to ever terrorize this Earth just got scarier. The fossilized remains of tyrannosaur tracks found in British Columbia are providing the strongest evidence yet that these predators travelled and hunted in family groups — a conglomeration the researchers are calling ‘a terror of tyrannosaurs.’ Though skeletal records are common,…

Teaser Poster for Jurassic World Has Dystopian Flair

I’m liking the look of this Jurassic World poster, released today at Comic-Con, despite my extreme prejudice against scientifically inaccurate dinosaurs that have no feathers. Nice to see the dinosaur hanging out in the garbage near a city construction site. Urban raptors are the next logical step. An early rumor about the plot to Jurassic…

Pangolins Walk Just Like T. Rex

Pangolins, or Scaly Anteaters, are fascinating creatures. The eight pangolin species are found in Africa and parts of Asia, and they’re the only mammals whose skin is covered in scales. The scales, which harden as a pangolin ages, are made of keratin. The substance is found in human skin as well, but is best known…

Predatory Birds Remind Us That Inside, They’re 100% Dinosaur

Watch this Great Blue Heron stalk, snatch, and swallow a gopher and you’ll get a sense of how terrifying it must have been to be a small prehistoric proto-mammal just trying to survive without getting gobbled up by a dinosaur. Also: OMG you can still see the gopher wriggling around as it moves down the…

That Time a Newspaper Published a Guide to Hunting Dinosaurs

What would happen if the gargantuan creatures of Earth’s prehistoric past came back to life? And, more important, how would they provide good sport for hunters?

Strange 19th Century Drawings of Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Animals

Two centuries ago, naturalists began to realize that the enormous, fossilized bones they’d been finding all over the world belonged to extinct animals. A lot of extinct animals, who had once ruled the planet and were now mysteriously gone. Speculation about these creatures reached a fever pitch, resulting in drawings like these. Reptiles restored, from…

What Sound Did T. rex Actually Make?

It’s an iconic scene in every dinosaur movie: the huge, conquering carnivorous theropod rears back and lets out a terrifying bellow. But how close to reality are these sounds?
