 | Painted Turtle Quietly Breathing It has come to my attention that many people believe turtles require limb movements for ventilating their lungs while in air. Although movement of the pectoral girdle can be seen with larger tidal volumes, quiet breathing is accomplished by simple contraction of the abdominal muscles in the hind limb pockets. In this video of a juvenile painted turtle, you can clearly see the skin lining the hind limb pocket expanding and contracting without any concomitant limb movements. See Gans' explanation in "Biology of the Reptilia" for further reading. |

 | Dromaeosaurus hunting Parksosaurus 65,500,000 years ago in Montana, a Dromaeosaurus hunts for something to eat. And today's menu is - fresh Parksosaurus. But Parksosaurus are not easy prey...They can run very fast and are very agile. But Dromaeosaurus is very fast and is very agile too. See if the vicious predator could manage to catch one. Dromaeosaurus was a genus of theropod dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous period in the western United States and Alberta, Canada. The name means 'running lizard' and is derived from the Greek dromeus (δρομευς) meaning 'runner' and sauros (σαυρος) meaning 'lizard'. It was a small carnivore, the size of a wolf, about 1.8 m (6 ft) in length and 15 kg (33 lb) in weight. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth and a sharp "sickle claw" on each foot. Although only a few bones are known from the hindlimb, they indicate that Dromaeosaurus was a powerfully built animal. Dromaeosaurus had remarkably large eyes and excellent vision. It also probably had a good sense of smell and hearing. Its neck was curved flexible and its jaws were solidly built. The tail was flexible at the base but sheathed in a lattice of bony rods; this allowed it to be carried in a sharply upturned position. Parksosaurus (meaning "William Parks's lizard") was a genus of hypsilophodont ornithopod dinosaur from the early Maastrichtian-age Upper Cretaceous Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta, Canada. It is based on most of a partially articulated skeleton and partial skull, showing it to have been a small, bipedal, herbivorous dinosaur. It is one of the few described non-hadrosaurid ornithopods from the end of the Cretaceous in North America. Explicit estimates of the entire size of the animal have not been done, but William Parks found the hindlimb of his T. warreni to be about the same length overall as that of Thescelosaurus neglectus, even though the shin was shorter than the thigh in T. neglectus, the opposite of T. warreni (93.0 centimeters (3.05 ft) versus 95.5 centimeters (3.13 ft)).[1] Thus, the animal would have been comparable to the better-known Thescelosaurus in linear dimensions, despite proportional differences (around 1 meters (3.28 ft) tall at the hips, 2-2.5 meters (6.56-8.2 ft) long).[1] The proportional differences probably would have made it lighter, though, as less weight was concentrated near the thigh.

 | Spore Apatosaurus Wiki Quote - Apatosaurus, formerly known as Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived about 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian and Tithonian ages). It was one of the largest land animals that ever existed, with an average length of 23 meters (75 ft) and a mass of at least 23 metric tons (25 short tons). The name Apatosaurus means 'deceptive lizard', so-given because the chevron bones were similar to those of a prehistoric marine lizard, Mosasaurus. The name Apatosaurus comes from the Greek ἀπατέλος or ἀπατέλιος meaning 'deceptive' and σαῦρος meaning 'lizard'. The cervical vertebrae were less elongated and more heavily constructed than those of Diplodocus and the bones of the leg were much stockier (despite being longer), implying a more robust animal. The tail was held above the ground during normal locomotion. Like most sauropods, Apatosaurus had only a single large claw on each forelimb, with the first three toes on the hind limb possessing claws. Fossils of this animal have been found in Nine Mile Quarry and Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming and at sites in Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah, USA. |

Buster was put down in january because of a brain tumor and complications, and Adam was put down at the end of August for hind limb degeneration coupled with serious illness. |
