About Mosasaurus

Mosasaurus is an aquatic lizard which lived approximately 70 million to 65 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period. It was first discovered during the mid-18th century in Maastricht, Netherlands and eventually collected by Jean-Baptiste Drouin. However, that fossil was incomplete and consisted of only the skull of the animal. More fossils would turn up from the 1770s through the 1820s. In 1829, Gideon Mantell named it Mosasaurus - a name which means "Meuse lizard" in Greek.

Mosasaurus was discovered at a time before anyone had even discovered evolution or even, dinosaurs. At the time it was discovered, it was assumed to have been a whale. It was then thought to have been an alligator. It wasn't until it was examined by Georges Cuvier and he discovered it was some sort of marine reptile that he came to the conclusion that extinct species lived on the Earth at one time. A notion that went against prevailing religious thought at the time and was very controversial.

The first time that you looked at Mosasaurus pictures, you most likely got scared. Which I can completely understand. This aquatic animal was indeed a fierce looking creature. It was approximately 50 feet long - or longer than a semi-truck trailer and it weighed about 15 tons - or almost twice the weight of an elephant. To top it off, it had long jaws which were filled with lots of razor-sharp teeth. Teeth that were able to eviscerate anything this animal wanted to eat.

So what exactly did Mosasaurus eat? Well, it ate just about anything it wanted. However, paleontologists believe that its diet consisted of fish, shellfish and squids. It wouldn't have eaten sharks though like it was shown in Jurassic World. It was big but it wasn't nearly that big. The movie exaggerated its size dramatically.

One of the most interesting facts about Mosasaurus is that it had a streamlined body and flippers. That enabled it to sail effortlessly through the water at what must have been pretty high speeds. Paleontologist don't currently know how fast these animals could've swum but they think it was pretty fast.

Okay gang, stay close and stick together because we're headed back in time - to the age of the dinosaurs!
To celebrate the launch of the new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Mattel toy range - featuring the terrific Thrash 'N Throw Tyrannosaurus rex - we're off to meet one of the most dangerous predators of all time - T. rex!

1) The T. rex roamed the planet during the late Cretaceous Period 65 million years ago, in what's now the USA and Canada.

2) The name Tyrannosaurus rex comes from Greek and Latin words meaning 'Tyrant Lizard King'.
Just like a real T. rex, the Thrash 'N Throw Tyrannosaurus rex has one seriously big bite!
3) The terrific T. rex was a seriously big beast, growing up to 12m long and 6m tall!

4) These fearsome prehistoric creatures were carnivores, feasting on the flesh of the unfortunate animals they caught.
Thrash 'N Throw Tyrannosaurus rex can grip onto prey and throw them across the room!
5) Equipped with a set of 50-60 banana-sized teeth, these expert eaters could rip almost 100kg of flesh off their victims in a single chomp!

6) The T. rex was super smart too, boasting a brain twice as big as those of the other giant carnivores.
Just like a real T. rex, Thrash 'N Throw Tyrannosaurus rex has a huge tail that helps keep her balanced.
7) Scientist believe the Tyrannosaurus rex could run at speeds of up to 20km/h. Whilst they were by no means the fastest dinosaurs (some could sprint at 60km/h), they'd still be able to catch most humans. Yikes!

8) This deadly dinosaur's two tiny, clawed arms (less than one metre in length) remain a bit of a mystery to this day. Many scientists think they may have been used to help these skilled hunters to grab and slash their prey.
Is there a sound more terrifying than the thundering stomp of an approaching T. Rex?! Thrash 'N Throw Tyrannosaurus rex includes a stomping sound effect!
9) More than 20 almost-complete T. rex skeletons have been found. The most perfect, nicknamed Sue, was unearthed in South Dakota, USA, 20 years ago.

10) And Sue doesn't come cheap! In 1997, the super skeleton was sold to a museum in Chicago for around £5 million. Whoa!

Fancy some hands-on fearsome fun? Then check out the awesome Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom toys from Mattel!

Your Poodle has several options for coiffing their fur: they can be trimmed neatly all over, or decked out in elaborate cuts that involve a mixture of shaving and growth for a pompom effect. Only a few fur stylings -- which are often referred to as clips -- are allowed at showings like the Westminster Dog Show. Discover the clips available for your pet Poodle, and choose your favorite!

Bikini Clip

This grooming style, which is also referred to as a Miami clip, involves shaving the Poodle around their face and feet, as well as the tail. Hair is grown out elsewhere on the Poodle's body to your desired length, and there is a pom at the base of the tail as well as by each of the Poodle's paws.

Continental Clip

This interesting and carefully executed look has some areas of the Poodle shaved completely, like the face, belly, and legs. Other sections are allowed to grow out, and there are a poms at the feet of the Poodle. This cut is one of the ones permitted at dog shows.

A variation on the Continental Clip is the English Saddle Clip, which also shaves the face and tail, but has pom-poms along the dog's legs.

Puppy Clip

Young dogs can be shown with this grooming style, which involves shaving the face, tail, and feet, and pulling the top knot into a ponytail using a ponytail holder. Hair elsewhere on the dog's body is trimmed with scissors.

Kennel Clips

Also known as utility clips, this grooming style features a topknot and tail that are a bit longer than the rest of the dog's fur. Elsewhere, hair is scissored on the dog's body except for the face, feet, and end of the dog's tail. This style is allowed at dog shows.

Lamb Clip

This grooming style is very similar to the kennel, or utility, clip -- face, tail, and feet are all shaved. In this clip, the topknot and tail are basically the same length as the dog's hair elsewhere on the body, which can be the length you choose. This is one of the grooming styles allowed at shows.

Town and Country Clip

This involved grooming style, with a shaved face, feet, belly and neck, is not allowed at shows. Elsewhere on the dog's body, hair is trimmed to the desired length.

Finding a Goldendoodle

Whether you want to go with a breeder or get your dog from a shelter or rescue, here are some things to keep in mind.

Choosing a Goldendoodle Breeder

Goldendoodle puppies are adorable, and it's one of the reasons they are so popular. Cute puppies sell, and that makes the Goldendoodle a favorite for puppy mills and greedy, irresponsible breeders. But there's no need to pay big bucks for a Goldendoodle. You may find a wonderful example of this cross-bred dog at your local shelter or through adoption organizations such as Petfinder.

If you choose to purchase a Goldendoodle, select a breeder who has done the health testing to ensure that her puppies won't carry the genetic diseases common to Poodles and Golden Retrievers. If you are going to pay several hundred dollars (or even $1,000 or more) for a dog, you should get your money's worth. Buying from a breeder who is smart and caring enough to do health certifications -- even for a cross-breed -- is the best way to do that. And while there are no guarantees in life, it's also a good way to minimize the possibility of big veterinary bills.

Avoid breeders who only seem interested in how quickly they can unload a puppy on you and whether your credit card will clear. You should also bear in mind that buying a puppy from websites that offer to ship your dog to you immediately can be a risky venture, as it leaves you no recourse if what you get isn't exactly what you expected. Put at least as much effort into researching your puppy as you would into choosing a new car or expensive appliance. It will save you money in the long run.

Lots of reputable breeders have websites, so how can you tell who's good and who's not? Red flags include over-availability, multiple litters on the premises, a choice of any puppy, and the ability to pay online with a credit card. Those things are convenient, but they are almost never associated with reputable breeders.

Whether you're planning to get your new best friend from a breeder, a pet store, or another source, don't forget that old adage "let the buyer beware". Disreputable breeders and facilities that deal with puppy mills can be hard to distinguish from reliable operations. There's no 100% guaranteed way to make sure you'll never purchase a sick puppy, but researching the crossbreed (so you know what to expect), checking out the facility (to identify unhealthy conditions or sick animals), and asking the right questions can reduce the chances of heading into a disastrous situation. And don't forget to ask your veterinarian, who can often refer you to a reputable breeder, rescue organization, or other reliable source for healthy puppies.

The cost of a Goldendoodle puppy varies depending on the breeder's locale and whether he has obtained health clearances on the pup's parents. The puppy you buy should have been raised in a clean home environment, from parents with health clearances. Puppies should be temperament tested, vetted, dewormed, and socialized to give them a healthy, confident start in life.

Before you decide to buy a puppy, consider whether an adult Goldendoodle might better suit your needs and lifestyle. Puppies are loads of fun, but they require a lot of time and effort. An adult may already have some training and will probably be less active, destructive, and demanding than a puppy.

With an adult, you know more about what you're getting in terms of personality and health and you can find adults through breeders or shelters. If you are interested in acquiring an older dog through breeders, ask them about purchasing a retired show dog or if they know of an adult dog who needs a new home. If you want to adopt a dog, read the advice below on how to do that.

Adopting a Dog From a Goldendoodle Rescue or Shelter

There are many great options available if you want to adopt a dog from an animal shelter or rescue organization. Here is how to get started.

1. Use the Web

Sites like Petfinder.com and and Adopt-a-Pet.com can have you searching for a Goldendoodle in your area in no time flat. The site allows you to be very specific in your requests (housetraining status, for example) or very general (all the Goldendoodles available on Petfinder across the country). AnimalShelter can help you find animal rescue groups in your area. Also some local newspapers have "pets looking for homes" sections you can review.

Social media is another great way to find a dog. Post on your Facebook page that you are looking for a specific breed so that your entire community can be your eyes and ears.

2. Reach Out to Local Experts

Start talking with all the pet pros in your area about your desire for a Goldendoodle. That includes vets, dog walkers, and groomers. When someone has to make the tough decision to give up a dog, that person will often ask her own trusted network for recommendations.

3. Talk to Rescue Groups

Most people who love Goldendoodles love all Goldendoodles. That's why enthusiasts have rescue organizations devoted to taking care of homeless dogs. The Goldendoodle Association of North America's rescue network can help you find a dog that may be the perfect companion for your family. You can also search online for other Goldendoodle rescues in your area.

The great thing about breed rescue groups is that they tend to be very upfront about any health conditions the dogs may have and are a valuable resource for advice. They also often offer fostering opportunities so, with training, you could bring a Goldendoodle home with you to see what the experience is like.

4. Key Questions to Ask

You now know the things to discuss with a breeder, but there are also questions you should discuss with shelter or rescue group staff or volunteers before you bring home a dog. These include:

What is his energy level?

How is he around other animals?

How does he respond to shelter workers, visitors, and children?

What is his personality like?

What is his age?

Is he housetrained?

Has he ever bitten or hurt anyone that they know of?

Are there any known health issues?

Wherever you acquire your Goldendoodle, make sure you have a good contract with the seller, shelter or rescue group that spells out responsibilities on both sides. Petfinder offers an Adopters Bill of Rights that helps you understand what you can consider normal and appropriate when you get a dog from a shelter. In states with "puppy lemon laws," be sure you and the person you get the dog from both understand your rights and recourses.

Puppy or adult, take your Goldendoodle to your veterinarian soon after adoption. Your veterinarian will be able to spot problems, and will work with you to set up a preventive regimen that will help you avoid many health issues.

Donald Trump's promise to build a "big, beautiful wall" along the U.S.-Mexico border during the presidential election in 2016 quickly became the hallmark of his campaign, with supporters welcoming the future president at campaign rallies with chants of, "build that wall!"

But nearly a year into his presidency, Trump has not been able to secure the funding-or the support-he needs to build his border wall. It didn't help that at a meeting with the members of Congress on Wednesday, White House chief of staff John Kelly said that Trump's views regarding the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border were " uninformed."

As Congress attempts to protect nearly 700,000 young immigrants at risk of deportation when the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program expires in March, the border wall has become a serious wedge between Democrats and Republicans.

Here are 10 facts that illustrate what the border wall already looks like and how we can expect it to change in the near future.

1. The border runs about 1,900 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. Some sort of barrier-made from concrete, steel mesh and/or barbed wire-stands along about a third of it.

2. Much of that fortification came as a result of the Secure Fence Act of 2006. The act mandated about 700 miles of barrier, of which around 653 primary miles have been completed. The act also called for double fencing along the border, but only 36 miles of double fencing stands were finished.

3. According to the Government Accountability Office estimate from 2007, it cost an average of nearly $4 million per mile to build the existing border fence. Additional fencing could cost up to $10 million a mile.

4. It is unclear how big Trump wants to make his wall. Originally, he wanted a solid, continuous wall that stood 55 feet tall. He then scaled the wall back to 35 to 40 feet high.

5. Trump has asked $18 billion from Congress to build his wall. He still contends Mexico will pay for it.

6. In July 2017, House Republicans passed a spending bill with $1.6 billion attached to begin funding the border wall.

7. According to the Government Accountability Office, "Federal and tribal lands make up 632 miles, or approximately 33 percent, of the nearly 2,000 total border miles." The remaining 66 percent consists of "Private and state-owned lands ... most of which is located in Texas."

8. There are 52 crossings between Mexico and the U.S.: eight rail lines, 24 bridges, two dams, 17 roads and one ferry.

9. There are 35 border cities, and more than 12 million people reside along the border.

10. A Monmouth University poll released in September 2017 found 35 percent of Americans support Trump's plan to build a wall, down from 48 percent in September 2015.

Dinosaur Facts for Kids

Enjoy our fun dinosaur facts for kids and learn about everything from the ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex to the enormous Diplodocus.

While dinosaurs came a long time before us humans, fossils and modern technology have helped us piece together what dinosaurs may have looked like and even how they might have behaved. Read on for a wide range of cool dinosaur facts that are perfect for kids.

The word dinosaur comes from the Greek language and means 'terrible lizard'. The word was coined by English paleontologist Richard Owen in 1842 and was meant to refer to Dinosaurs impressive size rather than their scary appearance.

Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for over 160 million years, from the Triassic period around 230 million years ago through the Jurassic period and until the end of the Cretaceous period around 65 million years ago.

The time period from 250 million years ago until around 65 million years ago is known as the Mesozoic Era. It is often referred to as the Age of the Dinosaurs because most dinosaurs developed and became extinct during this time.

It is believed that dinosaurs lived on Earth until around 65 million years ago when a mass extinction occurred.

Scientists believe that the event leading to the extinction may have been a massive asteroid impact or huge volcanic activity. Events such as these could have blocked out sunlight and significantly changed the Earth's ecology.

The first dinosaur to be formally named was the Megalosaurus, back in 1824.

A person who studies dinosaurs is known as a paleontologist.

Rather than being carnivores (meat eaters), the largest dinosaurs such as the Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus were actually herbivores (plant eaters).

To help fight meat eaters such as the Allosaurus or Spinosaurus, many plant eaters had natural weapons at their disposal. Examples of this include the spikes on the tail of the Stegosaurus and the three horns attached to the front of the Triceratops's head shield.

Pterodactyls are not dinosaurs, they were flying reptiles that lived during the age of dinosaurs but by definition they do not fall into the same category. The same goes for water based reptiles such as Plesiosaurs.

Birds descended from a type of dinosaurs known as theropods.

Despite being long extinct, dinosaurs are frequently featured in the media. One of the more memorable examples of this is Michael Crichton's 1990 book Jurassic Park. Adapted to movie in 1993, the story features cloned dinosaurs brought to life with the help of DNA found in mosquitoes trapped in amber.
