A cheeky elephant was found attempting to sᴛᴇᴀʟ food from a campsite. Photographer Willem Bakhuys Roozeboom, 45, captured the elephant trying to use his trunk to open the door of a food truck on video. However, the car, which was left parked at a campground in Mana Pools, Zɪᴍʙᴀʙᴡᴇ, proved to be too secure for the would-be thief. The safari camp’s management claims that elephants are attracted to the aroma of fruit and will go to any lengths to get there. Thankfully, the elephant quickly ʟᴏsᴛ interest and was later seen grazing on a lush branch. According to Mr. Roozeboom,…

Jason Talbott, a 42-year-old American from Kansas, managed to get a photo of the snake. The snake was found in the wild by his buddies, who later captured it. Unexpectedly, one of the heads strikes out at the other because it is more ferocious. Jason found it amusing that the snake had to cooperate in order to effectively Bɪᴛᴇ soᴍᴇᴛʜing because moving the body required moving both heads. The snake was harmless, despite its menacing appearance, and Jason agreed that its Bɪᴛᴇ couldn’t possibly be strong enough to pierce a person’s skin. Jason claims that the probability is 1 in…

Dinosaur footprints dating back 113 million years have been uncovered after severe drought conditions dried up a river in Texas. The tracks, mostly believed to belong to the 15ft tall, seven-ton Acrocanthosaurus species of dinosaur (pictured in an artist’s rendering), were found by experts at the state’s Dinosaur Valley State Park. Sauroposeidon, which was about 60ft tall and weighed around 44 tons, was also likely to be responsible for some of the prints, officials said. A video posted by the park on social media shows the newly-uncovered footprints appearing as deep grooves in the muddy riverbed measuring several human hands…

A dinosaur fossil discovered partially buried within a hillside could be a rare complete skeleton, researchers say. The exposed fossil of a hadrosaur – a large, plant-eating, duck-billed species – was found in the Dinosaur Provincial Park of Alberta, Canada. All that can be seen is a large portion of the tail and right hind foot, but the animal is sitting in a way that suggests the entire skeleton could be preserved within the hill. Complete with fossilised skin, the remains were discovered during a visit by ecologists from the University of Reading in 2021. As entire skeletons are very rare, the…

In those turbulent times between the two world wars, at least a few very strange stories about encounters with mysterious humanoids made it to the newspapers but were very quickly forgotten. Let’s shed some light on the Alien Encounters Of the 1920s. The Evansville Courier reported that on the afternoon of June 1923, near the city of Mount Erie, Illinois, there was what can now be called a typical “contact of the third kind.” The eyewitness was a 10-year-old boy named Norman Massey: The Alien Encounters Of the 1920s “10-year-old Norman Massey left the house to take his horses to pasture.…

An exquisitely preserved dinosaur embryo has been found curled up inside a fossilised egg, unearthed in southern China, dating back some 66–72 million years. The embryo has been dubbed ‘Baby Yingliang’ and was found in the rocks of the ‘Hekou Formation’ at the Shahe Industrial Park in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Palaeontologists led from the University of Birmingham said that Baby Yingliang belonged to species of toothless, beaked theropod dinosaurs, or ‘oviraptorosaurs’. Oviraptors, which were feathered, are found in the rocks of Asia and North America and had varied beaks and body sizes allowing them to adopt a wide range of diets. The specimen is one of the most…

Cal Orko, an immense limestone slab 1.5 km (0.9 miles) long and over 100 meters high (328 ft), is situated 5 km (3 miles from downtown Sucre, Bolivia. Visitors will look through time on this steep face (72 degrees inclination) to when dinosaurs roamed the Earth more than 68 million years ago. You will find 462 different dinosaur tracks from at least 8 different species at Cal Orko, totaling an astounding 5,055 individual dinosaur footprints. So how do thousands of dinosaur footprints come to be, on a seemingly vertical rock face hundreds of feet high? You’ll have to scroll down…

Polish archaeologists working in the North Asasif necropolis (West Thebes) near the Temple of Hatshepsut discovered 9 crocodile heads deposited in two elite tombs. “This is a unique discovery, because until now no graves containing crocodiles were known in Egypt. Mummies of these dangerous reptiles have so far been discovered in temples,” Dr. Patryk Chudzik, head of the research project from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology of the University of Warsaw told PAP. The finds come from two tombs: of Cheti, one of the most important officials during the reign of pharaoh Mentuhotep II (reign: 2055-2002 BC), and in…

Scientists found about 20 large 80-million-year-old dinosaur eggs when they unearthed a titanosaur nesting site in Brazil. The dinosaur egg nest, which dates back to the Cretaceous period, approximately 145 to 66 million years ago, was discovered in an abandoned limestone mine in the rural area of Ponte Alta, in the southeastern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Joao Ismael da Silva, a paleontology technician at the Federal University of Triangular Mineiro Ivor Price Paleontological Research Center, made the discovery in the 1990s, but the results of the analysis of the fossilized eggs have just been published.

Anyone a fan of ‘How To Train Your Dragon’? We know, totally random, but the main dragon was named Toothless. Just like him, we a unique species of ‘toothless’ dinosaurs that are 110 million years old in Australia have been found. Named Elaphrosaur, this has been discovered by palaeontologists in Australia. The toothless dinosaur was identified by a team led by Swinburne University of Technology palaeontologist Dr Stephen Poropat. It’s known for having long necks, stumpy arms and small hands, and it probably didn’t survive on meat. Picture Credits: gdnonline.com The Dinosaur Is Believed To Have Roamed In Australia Around…
