martinezlaura+FollowDino-Eating Croc Had a Salty SecretDid you know there was once a bus-sized crocodile that munched on dinosaurs? Meet Deinosuchus, the OG 'terror croc.' Scientists just figured out its secret weapon: it could handle salt water, unlike today’s alligators. That meant it could roam ancient seas and snack wherever it wanted. Turns out, Deinosuchus isn’t even a true alligator relative—just a massive, salty outlier on the croc family tree. Imagine being a dino and seeing THAT coming! #Paleontology #Dinosaurs #ScienceNews #CrocodileFacts #AncientHistory #Science90Share
jason40+FollowMeet T. rex’s Long-Lost ‘Dragon Prince’ CousinTurns out, T. rex wasn’t always the king! Scientists just ID’d a new dino from Mongolia called Khankhuuluu mongoliensis—aka the “Dragon Prince”—that lived 20 million years before T. rex. This guy was smaller, faster, and had steak-knife teeth for slashing smaller prey. Basically, it’s the missing link that shows how T. rex’s family went from speedy hunters to giant apex predators. Dino family drama just got way juicier! #Dinosaurs #TyrannosaurusRex #Paleontology #History70Share
frazierdanielle+FollowDino Dinner Mystery Solved!Turns out, those giant long-necked sauropods really were plant lovers! Scientists just found fossilized stomach contents inside a dino named Judy in Australia—her last meal was a mix of conifer bracts, seed ferns, and flowering plants. Not only is Judy the most complete sauropod ever found Down Under (with fossilized skin!), but her gut confirms these prehistoric giants munched on greens at different heights as they grew. Imagine your last meal being on display for science! #Dinosaurs #FossilFind #ScienceNews #History50Share
Michael Flores+FollowStegosaurus: Jurassic Day-in-the-LifeEver wondered what a Stegosaurus actually did all day? Picture this: waking up with the sunrise, warming up those iconic back plates like solar panels, and chowing down on ferns for breakfast. They hung out in loose groups, flexed their spiky tails at predators, and spent the hottest hours chilling in the shade. Hydration breaks at the waterhole were a must, and evenings meant a final plant binge before finding a safe spot to sleep. Basically, it was a prehistoric mix of sunbathing, snacking, and staying on guard! #Dinosaurs #Stegosaurus #JurassicPark #Science20Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowDino Diet Secrets Finally Revealed!Turns out, those giant long-necked dinos really were plant lovers! For the first time ever, scientists found fossilized stomach contents inside a sauropod named Judy in Australia. What was on the menu? Conifer bracts, seed ferns, and even some flowering plants. Judy’s gut proves these prehistoric giants munched on greens at different heights, and their bellies did most of the work. Imagine your last meal being on display for millions of years! #Dinosaurs #FossilFinds #ScienceNews #Science00Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDino Gut Check: Sauropods Ate EVERYTHINGTurns out, those giant long-necked dinos weren’t picky eaters at all! Scientists just found fossilized plant bits inside a 100-million-year-old sauropod belly, showing these dinos basically swallowed whole plants—conifers, seed-ferns, even flowering plants—without much chewing. They let gut bacteria do the hard work. This is the first time anyone’s found direct evidence of what sauropods actually ate, and it proves they were the OG bulk eaters. Imagine just gulping down your salad whole! #Dinosaurs #FossilFind #ScienceNews #Science30Share
Michelle York+FollowDinos Didn’t Chew—They Fermented!Turns out, those giant sauropod dinos didn’t bother chewing their food at all! Scientists just found fossilized stomach contents from a Diamantinasaurus, and it’s packed with plant bits. Instead of chewing, these massive creatures let their guts do the work—think fermentation on a prehistoric scale. Their bellies were like hot compost bins, breaking down leaves and conifers with the help of microbes. Imagine the heat! Even baby sauropods were out there munching (well, swallowing) and shaping the ancient world. Nature’s OG ecosystem engineers! #Dinosaurs #FossilFind #ScienceNews #Science80Share
megangibson+FollowDino Skin Was Way Cooler Than We ThoughtForget those boring, gray dino models—turns out, dinosaur skin was wild! Fossilized skin impressions show dinos rocked everything from pebbly scales to feathers, with crazy patterns and even color. Some hadrosaur 'mummies' have skin so well-preserved you can see the wrinkles and scale mosaics. And T. rex? Its skin was more bird-like than lizard. New tech even lets scientists spot dino colors—think stripes, countershading, and iridescent feathers. Basically, dinosaurs were way more stylish (and complicated) than we ever imagined! #Dinosaurs #FossilFriday #ScienceFacts #Science70Share
James Brady+FollowDino Drama at Hell Creek!Did you know there’s a real-life dinosaur graveyard in the US? The Hell Creek Formation is basically the ultimate time capsule—think T. rex vs. Triceratops, ancient mammals, and even fossilized plants! Scientists (and even regular folks) are still digging up wild secrets about the last days of the dinos and how mammals took over. It’s like Jurassic Park, but real—and still revealing new twists! #Dinosaurs #FossilFriday #Paleontology #Science10Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowCrocodile-Faced Dinos Found in England?!Imagine stumbling across fossils of not one, but TWO new dinosaur species with crocodile-like faces! Paleontologists just uncovered these “hell heron” predators on an English beach—giant, horned, and rocking some serious teeth. Turns out, these spinosaurids hunted both on land and in water, snacking on everything from fish to baby dinos. The Isle of Wight is basically Jurassic Park IRL, and experts say there could be even more wild discoveries coming soon. Who knew England had such a fierce dino past? #Dinosaurs #FossilFinds #ScienceNews #Science110Share
