Today's article was on how a new fossil of a dinosaur has been found and that this was a new dinosaur that was the smallest of all the other ones with size up to 70 centimeters which is smaller then my sister who is already 100 centimeters at age 3. This dinosaur was said to be over 150 million years old or even older by it's bones. Also the weirdest thing was that this dinosaur was actually a meat eater so compared to the T-Rex, there was a large difference. It must have been hard for this critter to survive in the world with dinosaurs that were as large as skyscrapers.

Today's article was on how the lions on earth are dieing out. There was a dramatic drop from 1940-2000 from 450,000 lions all the way down to only 20,000 left today. So if we don't act now and do something for the lions, they might all very likely die out and become an extinct creature.

Today's article was just a bunch of photos on the world and it was a contest to see who had the best photo and the winning photo was a elephant standing in water with only the top of it's head out of the water and a boy standing one foot on each tusk of the elephant and the boys head was out of the water. The second article was on animal mummies that were found in Egypt so just like a dead cat wrapped in cloth.

Today's article was about a unmanned ship being pulled in at the space station. There were no passengers but had tons of food that would last up to 6 years stored inside. NASA says that it was sent from Japan and that more and more of these type of unmanned transportation in space will be in need. The second article was about why we sleep and there was no answer but it said it is one of the world's most interesting mystery that scientist are trying to find out because we spent a third of our lives asleep and the other 2 third awake.

Today's article was about crocodiles and reptiles and how they were all once at the top of the food chain even higher then the dinosaurs. There was, for example, one crocodile that swam from his rver onto a University beach where it looked for food and often found some so it was a faint reminder that reptiles were once the strongest creatures. The second article wasn't really an article, it was a series of pictures about the world in general and everything in it and about it and the pictures were really spectacular and was really a pleasure for my eyes.

Today's videos i saw were about a earthquake in Samoa which also triggered a tsunami and then the day after the next there was another earthquake causing over 700 deaths and leaving over 1000 homeless. Samoa was basically in pieces by the second earthquake and they feared another tsunami. In the second video a woman was in Mt. Fuji and she said the people that live under Mt. Fuji always had a 6 week celebration for it so the mountain wouldn't crush them to pieces. They would bring food up there and all 400,000 people would go up there and celebrate which is basically throwing a party.

Today's first video i saw was about a polar bear that stuck his head through the ice to get at a seal and actually got it and then ate it. The polar bears fur became all bloody and he looked scary. The second video was about a walrus baby being born and how it survives. The seal swam all by itself but the mother had to catch food for it. The moth er had to protect its baby or the baby would become prey to the polar bear in the first video.
