Peanuts are not nuts! In fact they are related to peas and beans. Peanut butter is actually made from 'goober peas'.
Dinosaur or bird? This creature is a bit of both
Dinosaur or bird? This creature is a bit of both A 75 million year old skeleton with a roadrunner's
body, arms shaped like clawed wings and hair-like feathers has just
gone on display at the Florida Institute of Palaentology. The
fossil has been christened "Bambiraptor feinbergi" because it's
small like Bambi. Scientists report that the skeleton is
anatomically the most bird-like dinosaur found to date and is the
most convincing evidence today of a link between dinosaurs and
birds. One of the world's leading palentologists has reported that
bambiraptor shares several traits with birds, such as having a
wishbone instead of a full breastbone, and having avian-like arm
bones. Bambiraptor was found in 1994 by Wes Linster, a 14 year old
hunting for fossils near Glacier National Park in northern Montana.
The creature would have been about a metre long and weighed 3
kilograms, living in a sparsely forested area of the young Rocky
Mountains and feeding on small mammals and reptiles. Bambiraptor
may have been able to fly, but further research needs to be done
before this can be confirmed. 21 MARCH 2000
