All about Dinasours

The word Dinosaur means "Terrible Lizard". The Dinosaurs are now gone but we still see their footprints, their poop and their skeletal remains.

The people who study about dinosaurs and their remains are called "Paleontologists".

Not all Dinosaurs have vanished as birds we see today are actually dinosaurs. They are the descendants of a type of a dinosaur called "therapods", such as Giganotosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex, Troodon and such other dinosaurs. The Dinosaurs lived in the time period called as Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous.

First lets visit the Triassic period when there were no flowers and only small plants and that period looked very dull. Triassic period then changed to Jurassic. Jurassic period had little bit of flowers, low life herbs and ferns. It was hot and red during this period. Jurassic period then changed to Cretaceous period. During this period we had all kinds of flower, big, small, short and tall. At that time we also had flying creatures called Pteranodon. They were called Therasaurs related closely to dinosaurs.

At the end of this period, human beings started to appear. Paleontologists still do not know how the dinosaurs vanished. One of the ideas is that an asteroid hit the Earth and made the plants die making all the herbivorous dinosaurs to vanish.The carnivore dinosaurs could not find enough food and they died too.

Which are the fastest animals in the world?

As you know lions, Tigers and Cheetah's are fast but they are not the fastest animals in the world! Pelican falcons are the fastest creature of all! They travel 290 miles per hour when they are diving. Fishes are fast too. If you have a fish pet, try knocking on the glass, they get frightened and swim fast inside the tank. As you know Cheetahs are fast but how fast are they? Cheetah travels 60 - 65 miles per hour That is the speed normally cars travel on freeway in California. Maybe you have to car race with a Cheetah...but don't try that.
Deers are faster than tigers. Do you know why tigers have stripes? The answer is to camouflage and hunt its prey. That is why they are the powerful hunters in the jungle. Still Pelican falcons and fishes are the fastest creature on the earth.

The Ocean

Did you know that the ocean has more stuff than the land?
Thats true because it has so many creatures which are the seasnake, octopus also poisonous octopuses and seadragons. If you go deep into the ocean there will be no air! There will be very dangerous fishes which live deep in the ocean.
Some tornadoes can make the ocean swish and make waves behind as it goes to the land. The seadragons are actually not dragons which can blow fire. These sea dragons cannot blow fire. Dragons can fly also whereas these sea dragons don't fly. The sea dragons are part of the sea horse family.
Do you think whales breathe underwater?
The answer is NO! They come to the surface and breathe using their blow holes. They are mammals.

The sea snakes breathe air like us but they can hold their breathe for hours! They come out of the ocean and breathe.

Some poisonous octopuses have so many blue circles on them. Those blue circles has poison.

The ocean is bigger than the land.

The difference between crocodile and alligators

Do you know the alligator and crocodile are different? The best difference between alligator and crocodile is the alligators jaw is like a "U" and the crocodile's is like a "V". The next difference is alligators are smaller than crocodiles. The third difference is even if the crocodiles close their mouth their teeth will be shown out while the alligator's teeth will not be shown out. Do you know why they look kind of same? the same color and all those? because they both are cousins! they both live in jungles and they are reinforesters. They live near and in ponds. Do you know that the salt water crocodiles live in the ocean? Well, thats true! Just like if you go snorkeling you will not see them as they live deep in the ocean. Like salt water crocodiles are another crocodiles.

One day Sam got bugs. His friends gave him 5 more because they had too much. Then his mom gave him 10 more bugs for his 6th birthday. His dad gave him 15 more bugs because he was very good. One day his insect bowl was about to break because there were too many bugs. After few days the bowl broke! His mom gave him one bigger bowl. After some time, the bugs could escape out of a little hole! Soon all the bugs were gone. His friends gave him 20 bugs, his mom gave him 25 bugs for his 7th birthday! His dad gave him 30 bugs for being extra good. All the bugs couldn't fit inside the bowl and then the bowl broke and all of them escaped.Sam was not sad he knew he is going to get more for his next birthday. Sam found his spider and the other bugs came rushing inside the bowl. His mom gave a bigger bowl for all the insects to fit in.


The End

John and The Ants

John left a lolly pop inside his car. There are a group of ants living next to the car inside the garage. They smelled the lolly pop! John left for a vacation. After few days the ants started hunting for the lolly pop. One ant named Sam found the lolly pop! He called all the ants. One fine day when John returned from the vacation he wanted to eat the lolly pop. He saw the lolly pop was gone! John saw some ants in the car and then he saw more and more and more! Then John saw the ants all over the car so he called his dad. John's dad wanted to get the ant killer but the liquid was all finished. So he had to go to the Home Depot to get the ant killer for which he need to take his van. When he reached Home Depot, the ant killer liquid was all gone as every body took it. So he asked the manager and the manager asked John's dad to take the Venusflytrap plant which can also eat the ants. So he got it. He took it home and it was working well. Sometimes the ants will escape but the ones that will escape go away. From now on they don't have any ants in their house. So now they can ride their car and go anywhere.

The Blue whale too close to the shore

Once upon a time there were 300 poor people who did not have houses to stay so they just made tents and lived on

the beach. They did fishing for their food. One day they saw some wood which was giant enough to make a sail boat.

They made the sail boat and went in the sail boat deep into the ocean, far away from the shore. After a while they

were hungry and went fishing. One guy got a Tuna, another guy got a shark, another guy got a tropical fish and

another guy while fishing he got a humongous whale! The fin of the whale tried to flip the boat but it was too late

they escaped and sailed towards land. One person fell into the water and the humongous whale swallowed the man. The

man went inside the whale and wondered why the whale swallowed a pail, a gull and a ladder!. He just got an idea,

he thought of climbing on the ladder and escape through the whale's spout. Before he could climb out he saw another

man who said, "if you want to go out, you need to pinch the inner skin of the whale and then climb" while this man

said, "I am just going to use this ladder to climb and escape out of the spout". The other man on hearing this idea

he said, "you are a genius!" But then there was no need to use a ladder, the water came in and the whale breathed

out , "SP LUSH.................................." and both the man came popping out with other stuffs and

"thud............" they fell into the beach sand. The second man said to the first man, "Hey look you have a tea pot

on your head instead of a hat..you are a genius!" The second man showed his tent and said to the first man, "I am

poor and I live here in this tent". The first man said, "Hey I am your neighbour and even I live in one of these

tents". Then he saw that the whale was coming to the shore again. So they built a sign and everybody gathered and

sat on each other's neck so the whale thought that it was some kind of monster and it got scared and went back into

the deep sea again. The whale was scared to come back to the shore again.
One fine day the poor people saw lot of money near their tents. Wow! they became rich! People gave the money to

the poor people because these poor people had chased away the scary whale which once had frightened the people on

the beach and tried to swallow their babies playing on the beach. These poor people also helped to find the lost

babies and they had made a section on the beach where they kept all the lost and found babies so that the parents

can come and pick up their own children.
One fine day there were so much people on the beach because everyone loved the beach and they were not scared of

the whale anymore and even if the whale comes they know to scare it instead of killing it. The people saw a banner

about the first man and the second man and how they scared the whale. All the people on the beach got a notice in

which it said, "If you are scared of any animal coming close be it a snake,a lion, a leopard, a cheetah or even a

tiger, do not kill it instead scare it away. Only fishing is OK as we know people need to eat fish. Ham is OK as

people do need to eat ham or chicken,hen or egg are OK too"
The day the men got into the whale and came out became a celebration and also the day the poor people got money

and became rich also became a celebration day. The first and the second man were richest of all as they got and

cash and cheque.

Moral of the story: Never kill animals if you are frightened just scare them
