Mammoths and dinosaurs 2024, May

Contrary to popular belief, large-scale volcanic eruptions could hardly have led to the extinction of dinosaurs in the late Mesozoic. This conclusion was reached by scientists, authors of an article in the journal Nature Geoscience

At the end of last year, an extraordinary discovery was announced at the Far Eastern Federal University. It turns out that one of the global reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs is an increase in gravity more than two times

In the photo: The remains of a mammoth and those who found them. A little mammoth, discovered by archaeologists in Yakutia, was killed by anthrax about 32 thousand years ago. This is the conclusion reached by Russian scientists who studied the remains of an ancient animal

American scientists have recreated the sound of the roar of a tyrannosaurus and called it the most terrifying ever heard, reports The Telegraph

The Jurassic period is considered the era of undivided domination of gigantic lizards, and it is customary to think about mammals that they eked out a miserable existence in the shadow of giant reptiles. In fact, in the Mesozoic, mammals were quite a thriving group

Animals can play a key role in slowing climate change

Japanese biologists have found another proof of the origin of birds from dinosaurs

Scientists have found that the ancestors of dinosaurs walked on four legs The ancestors of dinosaurs were up to three meters tall, had a long neck and tail and walked on four legs, similar to crocodiles, paleobiologists have found out

Scientists have identified genes that are involved in the formation of scales in reptiles and feathers in birds. This knowledge made it possible to grow alligator embryos with altered external integuments using genetic manipulation

Once my eldest son (at the time of the dinosaur hobby) asked me a question: were there mole dinosaurs? He meant that in the Mesozoic there were lizards-herbivores and lizards-predators, lizards-“birds” and lizards-“fish”, even lizards-“sloths”

Dinosaurs are officially believed to have become extinct about 65 million years ago. That is, long before the appearance of human ancestors. The reason for their extinction was most likely a sharp cooling after a large asteroid 10 km wide fell to Earth

On New Year's Eve, employees of the Far Eastern Federal University announced the opening. They answered the question - why did the dinosaurs die?

Most of our contemporaries associate the image of an arrow with an attack. However, this is the strongest amulet, which has been used since ancient times in various parts of the world

A rare set of Tyrannosaurus rex footprints told scientists about the speed with which the most famous predators among dinosaurs moved. This is covered in Cretaceous Research magazine

To what extent are we humans, well aware of the fauna of our planet? Such a question will surprise the majority. In fact: there are many scientific papers that can fully satisfy curiosity in this area

Dinosaurs spent an unusually long time inside the eggs - and ndash; on average, the infant of ancient "terror lizards" was born only 3 or 6 months after fertilization of the embryo, according to an article published in the journal PNAS

Over the years of publishing biology textbooks and popular science books, a certain tradition has developed to depict dinosaurs

Famous monsters like Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptors are most likely not like the monsters in our imagination and certainly behaved differently

What are the found remains of these monsters really talking about? And these are not headlines from the "yellow press" and not an attempt to fool an inquisitive reader by foisting on him another human find, which is "millions of years old"! Not at all

There has been a lengthy discussion about why dinosaurs were so successful. Say dinosaur and most people think of a great flesh eater like Tyrannosaurus Rex, but herbivores have become more popular and have more success

It turns out that we have more in common with dinosaurs and birds than previously thought. In a study published last week in Science, scientists tracked brain activity in sleeping lizards

Studies of the remains of ancient animals have shown that climate change is not to blame for their extinction. The question of why mammoths died on Earth still worries scientists, although they have already put forward more than one hypothesis

In the Mesozoic era, which lasted for about 175 million years (45 - Triassic, 60 - Jurassic, 70 - Cretaceous periods), "terrible lizards" - dinosaurs, sea inhabitants ichthyosaurs and flying lizards reached the apogee of their development

The second expedition to a unique find on Yamal took place. True, it was not possible to capture the skull with me, it was too big. A photo of a dinosaur skull has already spread all over Russia

The generally accepted paradigms of dinosaur evolution, which have existed for more than a hundred years, are outdated by the order of - Scientists who have published on the pages of Nature a new hypothesis of the evolutionary relationship of giant lizards that died out tens of millions of years ago

In one of the paleontological journals, scientists published a description of the find, telling about the battles of ancient underwater monsters

At the University of Angola's capital Luanda, fossilized bones of a dinosaur, which can be considered the largest ever inhabited on our planet, are on display. Scientists named him Angolan Giant (Angolatitan Adamastor)

A Russian-Japanese group of scientists managed to find the necessary genetic material in the fossil remains of a mammoth, which is required for cloning a prehistoric animal

The infamous Korean doctor Hwang Woo Suk showed how he clones animals. Its main goal is - reproduce a copy of a mammoth. In a South Korean laboratory, cloned puppies of different breeds and sizes were born - - from beagle to labrador

Scientists do not exclude the possibility that during the era of world glaciation, over the Arctic Ocean, there was a giant ice continent Arctida with unique natural and climatic conditions

Experts believe Steven Spielberg's futuristic sci-fi movie Jurassic Park could one day become a reality thanks to avian DNA

At the Yakut Institute, scientists have begun work on the study of the carcass of a female mammoth, which has "red meat, almost fresh"

For more than a hundred years, the history of the lake monster called "Mokele-mbembe" has thrilled researchers of the deep forests of Africa. What have they found since then

Scientists from Mexico very carefully remove from the ground a fossilized mammoth, which, presumably, lived in the Pleistocene era. Since the animal is cut into several parts, experts suggested that this could have been done by prehistoric people

After lengthy scientific research, domestic experts were able to determine the exact date when mammoths disappeared from the Eurasian continent

What can we find from mammoths, for example, in Wikipedia: Mammoths (lat. Mammuthus) - an extinct genus of mammals from the elephant family that lived in the Quaternary period. Reached a height of 5.5 meters and a body weight of 10 - 12 tons

40,000 years ago, there were creatures on Earth capable of performing complex surgical operations. Japanese paleontologists, having carefully studied the remains of a mammoth found in Yakutia, they found traces of a modern scalpel

It became a real sensation - the age of the finds, of course, still has to be determined by the examination, but scientists already declare - they are not 40 thousand years old - these mammoths lived on the island some three thousand years ago and even found people

A Russian paleontologist spoke about the latest studies of mammoth cubs found in the permafrost. The last of the six mammoths found in more than thirty years in our country was christened Igor

All new finds of fossil mammoths do not let the debate about the fate of these ancient mammals cool down. Scientists are getting to the answer to the question: why the mammoth fauna disappeared
