A new predatory dinosaur with a birdlike breathing system found in Argentina may help scientists better understand the evolution of birds' lung systems. (See more photos.)

The elephant-size dinosaur Aerosteon riocoloradensis lived 85 million years ago during the Cretaceous period.

Eh?



Is this thread an exercise in tongue twisters?




Try saying, "Sam the sham sang about a bovine not an ovine" five times quickly.

I'm enlightened :) .

Aren't the wolf pictures gorgeous?  I love wolves (but not in the same way as some people love sheep).
