The Dark Secrets of the Bird World. 66 million years ago, a large asteroid about six miles in diameter smashed into what is present-day Mexico.
It was the most unpleasant thing you can imagine for everyone here at the time, and it ended up causing the extinction of over 75% of species, including all the dinosaurs. Right? It killed off all the dinosaurs—that’s how the story goes. Right? The thing is, when we picture dinosaurs, we picture large, reptile-looking guys tramping about on land being dicks. But there were also a lot of other kinds of dinosaurs, including some with feathers who could fly. Birds aren’t just the descendants of dinosaurs, they are dinosaurs.

Born in Africa to French wildlife photographer parents, Tippi Degré had a most unusual childhood.
The young girl grew up in the African desert and developed an uncommon bond with many untamed animals including a 28-year old African elephant named Abu, lion cubs, giraffes, an Ostrich, a mongoose, crocodiles, a baby zebra, a cheetah, giant bullfrogs, and even a snake. Africa was her home for many years and Tippi became friends with the ferocious animals and tribespeople of Namibia. As a young child, the French girl said, “I don’t have friends here. Because I never see children. So the animals are my friends. " Parents Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert documented Tippi's life and relationships with the African wildlife and transformed those moments into captivating books and movies. Looking past some fairly obvious and natural parental worries, Tippi had the most amazing upbringing. Via [Messy Nessy Chic] Creation Stories. 30 Really Informative and Beautiful Infographics.

Topography. Topography (from Greek τόπος topos, "place", and γράφω graphō, "write") is a field of planetary science comprising the study of surface shape and features of the Earth and other observable astronomical objects including planets, moons, and asteroids.
It is also the description of such surface shapes and features (especially their depiction in maps). The topography of an area could also mean the surface shape and features themselves. In general, topography is concerned with local detail in general, including not only relief but also natural and artificial features, and even local history and culture. This meaning is less common in America, where topographic maps with elevation contours have made "topography" synonymous with relief. The older sense of topography as the study of place still has currency in Europe. The Internet map. Functional Swords Medieval Weapons Armour Daggers Knives and Japanese Swords.
