Not long before an asteroid crashed into Earth and wiped out most of the dinosaurs, a long-necked dinosaur the size of nine adult Asian elephants may have been near a windy river peacefully eating plants.

Science Ask Us Anything What'Jurassic Park' got wrong about venomous dinosaurs And what did'Spinosaurus' really do with that sail? Dilophosaurus didn't have a frill or spit venom. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. We all know dinosaurs were scary. While not strictly a dinosaur, the ancient shark was four times longer than the biggest great white. Now, imagine one of those big bad dinos had venom. That'd be the last thing we need, but it very well could've been a reality. In a new episode of's Ask Us Anything podcast, we dig into the fossil record to see just how likely a venomous dinosaur would've been.

The leg bone uncovered in New Mexico belongs to an unusually large tyrannosaur--the group of dinosaurs that includes the mighty . The shinbone is three feet long and about five inches in diameter, only slightly smaller than the largest known specimen. The giant leg bone is detailed in a study published today in the journal .

New dinosaur discovered in Sahara desert was a horned'hell heron' 'Spinosaurus mirabilis' sported a 20-inch-tall'scimitar' on its head. Spinosaurus mirabilis stands along river's edge over its prey some 95 million years ago. A scimitar-shaped head crest and interdigitating teeth characterize this wading giant, one of the last-surviving spinosaurid species. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Paleontologists still know comparatively little about fin-backed dinosaurs .

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. The is one of evolution's most infamous species--but it's also a very confusing creature. All present-day birds are technically dinosaurs, but the 150-million-year-old, raven-sized hunter is the earliest known example of an avian animal. At the same time, lived during the Jurassic Period among multiple other feathered dinosaurs that were birds in the true sense of the term. But if it's any consolation, it's often still difficult for paleontologists to tell them apart, too.

They're the first fossils found near Dinosaur National Monument in over 100 years. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. For a place named Dinosaur, it's been a while since the small Colorado town revealed any fossils . But after a 101 year lull in discoveries, work was paused on a new parking lot near Dinosaur National Monument, after construction crews uncovered a section of unexpected sandstone. Park staff and paleontologists soon examined the find, and identified sauropod bones most likely belonging to --a massive, long-necked dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period .

New analysis of bone growth rings shows the'tyrant lizard king' grew very slowly. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Based on the annual growth rings (like those on trees) within fossilized leg bones, scientists estimate that usually reach adulthood at around 25 years old. However, new research argues that their growth phase lasted significantly longer. They may have become fully grown--approximately eight tons--after 40 years.

The tiny insects are older than dinosaurs. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Not eating yellow snow is obviously wise advice, but how about snow that looks like a poppy seed bagel? You should also avoid that too, because those "seeds" may actually be tiny critters commonly called snow fleas. As a video taken at the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge in Massachusetts shows, these little black specks bounce across the snow.

The Late Cretaceous apex predator easily grew to the size of a great white shark. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Nearly 70 million years ago, mosasaurs were the stuff of nightmares. Multiple species of the apex marine reptiles lived during the Late Cretaceous, often growing anywhere from 30 to 40 feet-long. But as dangerous as the ancient, great white shark-sized were for their prehistoric ocean prey, paleontologists have long assumed mosasaurs stuck to saltwater.

Jonny Kim returned after eight months aboard the International Space Station. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. After 245 days in orbit aboard the International Space Station (ISS), one NASA astronaut and two cosmonauts have safely returned to Earth. NASA's Jonny Kim along with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky landed near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan on December 9, and are now undergoing the standard post-mission health screenings. Kim officially became an astronaut in 2017.
