PIX4661022: Aral Sea seen in June 2003 - Aral sea in june 2003 - The Aral Sea observed by the ENVISAT satellite on June 17, 2003. The Aral Sea was once the fourth largest lake in the world; it began shrinking in the 1960s when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) diverted the Amu Darya (southern feed of the lake) and Syr Darya (north western feed) rivers to irrigate the cotton crops of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, with the result that the water level has dropped by 13 metres and the salinity of the water has tripled in the past two decades. Fish populations have died off, and wind - blown sand and salts threaten the entire region with the advancement of the Qyzylqum Desert (centre right of the image). Today the inland sea covers about half of its former area and its water volume have decreased by about 75 per cent / Bridgeman Images

PIX4661644: Dimetrodons - Dimetrodons - Artist's view of a dimetrodon fight about 280 million years ago. Dimetrodon is a carnivorous mammalian reptile (Therapside) living in Permian. Dimetrodon fight over territory in a scene that must have been repeated many times 280 million years ago. Their spectacular sails are backlit revealing the translucent skin supported by long neural spines, each one sprouting from an individual vertebra. These dimetrodons are each about 11 feet long / Bridgeman Images
PIX4661874: Desmatosuchus - Desmatosuchus is a fossil genus of Archosaurians who lived in the Upper Triassic of Texas. He cotoyed the first dinosaurs, like Coelophysis. It was about 5 metres long and 1.5 metres high. It was one of the largest Aetosaurs. 15-foot-long, 750 pound aetosaurian archosaurs of the genus Desmatosuchus search for edible roots amidst cycads and ferns 230 million years ago in what is today Texas. Armored plates and spikes, with some spikes up to 18 inches long, helped protect this otherwise vulnerable crocodile-like herbivore from the many terrestrial predators of the period including rauisuchian archosaurs like Postosuchus. Desmatosuchus is also notable for its unusual pig‑like head and shovel-like snout which were likely well-suited for uprooting small plants / Bridgeman Images
PIX4661932: Tanystropheus - Two Tanystropheus, six-metre-long marine reptiles, swim in a bay in China 230 million years ago. A pair of 20-foot-long, 300 pound reptiles of the genus Tanystropheus swim in an ocean bay 230 million years ago in what is today China. On the shore are a pair of 6-foot-long bipedal basal saurischian dinosaurs and beyond them on the horizon are 60-foot-tall araucarians, an ancient family of coniferous trees. Horsetails and ferns flourish near the water. Tanystropheus was not a dinosaur, rather it was an ancient marine reptile, an archosaur, that hunted ocean shores at a time when true dinosaurs were only making their first appearance on land. Tanystropheus was likely a fish-eater due to its long, narrow snout and sharp interlocking teeth typical of marine predators. Tanystropheus had an extraordinarily long neck, as long as its body and tail combined, though with only ten vertebrae it was likely not very flexible. Here Tanystropheus are shown extending their head and necks fully out of the water, which may have indeed been possible due to a heavy and muscular counter-balancing tail / Bridgeman Images
PIX4661957: Stegosaur and allosaur - Allosaurus meets Stegosaurus - Meeting between an allosaurus (allosaurus, carnivorous dinosaur) and a stegosaur (stegosaurus, herbivore dinosaur) in a Jurassic forest. The stegosaur moves back by walking on a pachypteris, causing a little lezard to escape. An Allosaurus stumbles upon a grazing Stegosaurus in a Jurassic Redwood forest. While it's probable that the 30 foot, 2 ton Allosaurus preyed upon large herbivores, I doubt that one would have risked a direct confrontation with an adult Stegosaurus, which could weigh as much as 5 tons and wields a powerful tail tipped with 3-foot spikes. Adding to its survivability, Stegosaurus 'front legs may have been strong enough to allow it to pivot and swing its entire backside around to ward off an assault. In addition to Redwoods and varieties of fern, this Jurassic-period forest includes the now extinct Pachypteris, an arboreal plant that grew to a height of 10 feet and populated every major continent 160 million years ago (in this image, the Stegosaurus is stepping back onto a Pachypteris, obliging a smaller lizard to abandon its roost) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4662022: Dilophosaurus - Dilophosaurus amidst Williamsonia - An adult male dilophosaur (Dilophosaurus) among ferns, cycas and Williamsonia gigas (first flowering plants). Dilophosaur is the first known predatory dinosaur, it appeared at the beginning of the Jurassic almost 200 million years ago. A colorful adult male Dilophosaurus explores a hilltop that is host to Williamsonia gigas, Sago Palms, and ferns. The tree-like Williamsonia gigas was a seed plant belonging to the order of Bennettitales and reigned for 130 million years before becoming extinct. Williamsonia gigas produced what appears to be large flowers, which were really a group of seeds surrounded by a crown of leaf-like structures known as bracteae. True flowers didn't begin to dominate the landscape until relatively recently - about 50 million years ago. The 0ther flora illustrated here live to this day, including the coniferous Araucaria, ferns, and Sago Palms (which in reality are not palms but a type of gymnosperm). The first known predatory dinosaur appeared 190 million years ago during the early Jurassic period. Christened Dilophosaurus (meaning “” two-crested lizard,”” because it had a pair of distinctive bony crests on its head) this bipedal saurischian grew up to 20 feet long, stood 8 feet tall, and weighed as much as a half ton. Dilophosaurus roamed the Earth 100 million years before its larger and more celebrated cousin Tyrannosaurus Rex roared onto the scene / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662247: Diplodocus - Diplodocus (Diplodocus carnegii) is a herbivorous dinosaur living in North America around the end of the Jurassic about 150 million years ago. It was up to 35 metres long. Diplodocus (Diplodocus carnegii) is a genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaur. It lived in what is now western North America at the end of the Jurassic Period (about 150 to 147 million years ago).The size of the animal could reach up to 35 m (115 ft) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662715: Hesperonychus - View of a group of Hesperonychus on a lake in Alberta 75 million years ago. In the background, a Gorgosaurus libratus approaches. Hesperonychus elizabethae is a small dinosaur from the late Cretace who lived in the United States. It belongs to the family Dromaeosauridae. A group of North America's smallest known carnivorous, non-avian dinosaur, estimated to weigh 1.9 kg, the recently described Hesperonychus elizabethae prowls the shores of a shallow Albertan lake in the Campanian Late Cretaceous (75 million years ago) while a much larger theropod, Gorgosaurus libratus, approaches from the opposite shore. Hesperonychus elizabethae was a genus of small, carnivorous dromaeosaurid dinosaur / Bridgeman Images
PIX4662734: Dromaeosaurus - The dromaeosaur (Dromaeosaurus albertensis) was a small theropod dinosaur from the late Cretace. Dromaeosaurus (Dromaeosaurus albertensis) was a genus of theropod dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous period between 76.5 and 74.8 million years ago, in the western United States and Alberta, Canada / Bridgeman Images
PIX4665096: La France vue par satellite - 2009 - France seen from space - 2009 - La France sous la neige, seen on 7 January 2009 by the European satellite Envisat. This satellite image shows most of central and northern France covered by a white layer of snow, while regions closer to the Atlantic coast remain largely snow free. At the lower edge of the image the Pyrenees mountain range is visible surrounded by thick layers of clouds bringing further snowfall to the region. Towards the upper right Paris can just be seen under the cloud layer at the top edge of the image. The structures visible in the snow are due to different land - use patterns. While agricultural and grass covered areas remain snow - covered and largely white, the snow has fallen off trees in forested regions, which therefore appear darker. This image was acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on 7 January 2009 / Bridgeman Images
