Marine reptile

MARINE REPTILES WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH, MARINE REPTILES DOMINATED THE OCEANS! SOME MARINE REPTILES WERE ALMOST DINOSAURS, LIKE CROCODILES AND TURTLES, WHICH STILL EXIST TODAY... ARCHELON, 13 FEET LONG. DEINOSUCHUS, 40 FEET LONG. I'LL ATTEST TO THAT! WHAT? I'M GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP LIVING WITH THIS GLUTTON FOR HOW LONG? HEH, HEH BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM DISAPPEARED, SUCH AS MOSASAURUS... MOSASAURUS, 60 FEET LONG. ICHTHYOSAURUS, WHICH LOOKED LIKE A DOLPHIN... OPHTHALMOSAURUS, 20 FEET LONG. NO SURPRISE, HE'S GOING TO CHOKE ON MY SHELL. WHEN WILL THERE BE A JOKE ABOUT TERRIFYING MOLLUSKS? AND ALSO PLESIOSAURS, REPTILES WITH LONG NECKS. THAT NECK WON'T GET ME OUT OF THIS JAM! WHEN OCTOPUSES HAVE TEETH! INCIDENTALLY, ELASMOSAURUS IS PROBABLY THE ORIGIN OF THE LEGEND OF THE LOCH NESS MONSTER. SHAP IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIDING IN THIS SCOTTISH LAKE! ELASMOSAURUS, 46 FEET LONG. WELCOME TO THE LAND OF NESSIE BUT DESPITE THE WARM LOCAL WELCOME, NESSIE NEVER SHOWS EVEN THE TIP OF ITS NOSE. WEEEEE WELCOME NESSIE WEYNODEN WELCOME TO THE NE WEY I WONDER WHY!

Dinosaur names

DINOSAUR NAMES IN 1824, AN ENGLISHMAN NAMED WILLIAM BUCKLAND WAS REALLY IRRITATED... WHAT IS THIS FOSSIL, THEN? YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT ITS NAME IS, MR. CUVIER*? THUS, HE NAMED A DINOSAUR FOR THE FIRST TIME... IT'S A HYPERMEGATOPS. NO, UM, A MEGATHING-- I'VE GOT IT! A MEGALOSAURUS! SINCE THAT DAY, HUNDREDS OF DINOSAURS HAVE BEEN GIVEN NAMES, PRIMARILY LATIN AND GREEK ONES... ...BASED ON A DISTINCTIVE PHYSICAL FEATURE... STRUTHIOMIMUS, A DINOSAUR THAT'S "LIKE AN OSTRICH." MORE ACCURATELY, AN OSTRITCH LOOKS LIKE ME! THAT MEANS, "GIANT LIZARD!" ...THEIR SITE OF DISCOVERY... ...OR IN REFERENCE TO MYTHOLOGY. ALBERTOSAURUS, DISCOVERED IN ALBERTA, CANADA. HAVE A NICE DAY FROM ALBERTA. DILONG, CHINESE "DRAGON EMPEROR." пово MY NAME IS JUST TOO CLASSY! IF THE SAME DINOSAUR HAS BEEN GIVEN DIFFERENT NAMES, WE RETAIN THE OLDEST ONE... YUM! A HEDGE- HOPPING HERBIVORE! ALBERIA THAT'S WHY "BRONTOSAURUS" (THUNDER LIZARD) IS NOW CALLED APATOSAURUS (DECEPTIVE LIZARD). OOPS! IT'S TOO BIG FOR ME! AS FOR ME, I'VE GOT A SIMPLE METHOD OF NAMING DINOSAURS! THIS ONE'S THE APPETIZER... THIS ONE'S THE ENTRÉE... *GEORGES CUVIER, A FRENCH SCIENTIST WHO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ESTABLISHING THE FIELD OF PALEONTOLOGY. AND THAT ONE'S DESSERT!
