Unable to compete with other tree-dwelling dinosaurs and early birds, they went extinct after just a few million years.</p> Thu, 22 Oct 2020 15:05:33 +0000 webfull 164559 at /channels /channels/channels/news/ctv-news-some-dinosaurs-were-flying-there-were-birds-new-research-suggests-323691 <p>Biologists now have a better idea of the origin of birds and the evolution of flight, two iconic events in the history of life on earth, thanks to work by a group of international scientists including a 苹果淫院 professor. In updating the evolutionary tree, the team鈥檚 findings show some dinosaurs could fly before they evolved into birds, and many others were experimenting with powered flight.</p> Thu, 13 Aug 2020 23:28:36 +0000 webfull 162476 at /channels /channels/channels/news/t-rex-was-champion-walker-super-efficient-lower-speeds-322130 <p>While smaller dinosaurs needed speed, huge predators like T. rex were optimized for energy-efficient walking, according to a <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223698">study</a> published in PLOS ONE.</p> Wed, 13 May 2020 19:00:43 +0000 webfull 160665 at /channels /channels/news/66-million-year-old-forest-fire-reveals-about-dinosaurs-236962 <p>As far back as the time of the dinosaurs, 66 million years ago, forests recovered from fires in the same manner they do today, according to a team of researchers from 苹果淫院 and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.</p> <p> Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:31:57 +0000 webfull 103112 at /channels /channels/news/new-dinosaur-finds-soar-golden-age-discovery-240463 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 21:54:27 +0000 webfull 106845 at /channels /channels/news/dinosaurs-sale-how-fossil-business-impacts-science-243094 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 20:51:09 +0000 webfull 108354 at /channels /channels/channels/event/science-documentary-film-perfect-predators-217995 <p><b>Perfect Predators </b>(Science, 2009): The Cretaceous Period spawned walking death machines with a savage combination of speed, eyesight, brainpower, and razor-sharp implements.</p> Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:39:20 +0000 webfull 85794 at /channels /channels/channels/event/science-documentary-film-curse-t-rex-218006 <p>Documentary film <strong>Curse of T. rex</strong> (NOVA, 1997): They are the most spectacular鈥攁nd rarest鈥攃reatures ever to walk the earth.
