#Dinosaurs in #Doctor#Who, who would have guessed...
Lets take a look at what they show, and break down what we can see.
They say they are 150m years in the past, in #Wyoming
In this image we can clearly see a #Brachiosaurus.
As far as I know, its been found in #Colorado which is close enough for it to migrate there.
It also looks fairly accurate for a #Giraffatitan adjacent species.
Brachiosaurus is from the Morrison formation, which has dinosaur-bearing exposures in at least 7 (wikipedia lists 13) states in the western USA. Wyoming is more or less near the center.
#Wyoming’s wildlife is a big tourism draw, but the state Office of Tourism has paused all of its #wildlife#tourism#advertising in the wake of the #WolfTorture case that has sparked worldwide outrage
An opinion piece published yesterday in the #BillingsGazette explores #CodyRoberts ' #torture of a young female #wolf in Daniel, #Wyoming. By now, most of you have heard the news or seen the disturbing photos and videos. We remain disgusted by the #cruelty, as does our partner and op-ed author #JeffEwelt.
In his op-ed, Jeff Ewelt, the Executive Director of #ZooMontana and a partner of The #RelistWolves Campaign,
Ewelt points to the urgent need for stricter #AnimalCrueltyLaws and a shift in #WildlifeManagement practices to prevent further such incidents and protect wildlife.
We support Jeff Ewelt's call for increased oversight and #LegalReforms to prevent horrific events like this from happening again. We appreciate all those who have taken action and shared the news amongst your network. If you have not done so yet, there's still time to raise your voice for #wolves. Thank YOU!
• Send a letter urging the State of #Wyoming to ban the use of snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles to chase down and kill #wolves and other animals.
#Wyoming will bar minors from receiving medical treatments for gender transition, after the state’s Republican governor signed a bill on Friday that penalizes health care professionals who provide puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries to those under 18.
@GottaLaff Meanwhile, back at the ranch in Tennessee, they're trying to ban chem-trails. Ban. F#cking. Chem-trails. That don't exist!. What the f#ck is going on in today's GOP? WTF?
The fire is under control at this time, fire crews are working on hot spots. There are strong winds in the area, which can cause the situation to rapidly change.
Quality of life -- for both humanity and the planet itself -- involves freedom from the credence that it's unreasonable to expect ALL people to treat other people, and the resources of this planet, with respect, dignity, and honor.
As long as there are rulers, neither humanity nor the planet will benefit.
Suppose I had a week to spend travelling around #Wyoming and I wanted to see a lot of #sauropod#fossils. Apart from the Wyoming Dinosaur Center and UWGM, where should I visit? (Let's assume for now that I can arrange collections access.)
@SydPark how long can bison survive such temperatures? They can presumably "drink" by eating snow or frosted grass, but that must hit core body temperature, requiring them to burn more food... And that in turn will cool them, leading to a vicious spiral. Is there enough energy in winter grass to even cover the cost of digesting the grass itself?
