Scientists conducting research in the Chilean Atacama Desert have discovered an extremely interesting fossil described as a “Flying Dragon.” The fossilized remains are of a pterosaur from the Jurassic era, and before the fossil was discovered, it was only known to exist in the northern hemisphere. The creature was a flying reptile that soared the skies 160 million years ago. … 
Everyone knows that a massive asteroid impact with the Earth was ultimately responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. A new study was recently published by an international team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Bristol, that shows dinosaurs were in decline for as much as 2 million years before the asteroid impact. Researcher Fabian Condamine says that … 
A new study has been published by researchers from Florida State University that challenges the notion that ancient dinosaurs were cold-blooded creatures that required tropical temperatures to survive. Paleontologists from Florida State University and the University of Alaska Fairbanks published a new study finding that nearly all types of dinosaurs, ranging from small and bird-like creatures to the massive Tyrannosaurus, … 
Most of us know at least a handful of dinosaur names such as T-rex and raptor, but few are probably familiar with the dinosaur species known as mosasaur. A mosasaur is a marine animal. A newly discovered specimen has a long crocodile-like snout that scientists believe suggests it was able to carve out a niche in a highly competitive marine …

The strange species had one less finger on each forearm than its closest relatives suggesting an adaptation allowing the animal to spread during …
