PIX4664037: Late Cretaceous Fauna - Late Cretaceous Fauna - Late Cretaceous Fauna. On the banks of the inner sea of Niobraran, a Parasaurolophus walkeri approaches to drink. In the sky and on the bank, Ichthyornis. Far in the sky, a pterosaur (azhdarchidae) spotted a carcass of Brachylophosaurus canadensis on the bank. On the right a Leidyosuchus canadensis. Montana during the late Cretaceous. Near the shores of the Western Interior Seaway, a Parasaurolophus walkeri bellows a call, while an Ichthyornis dispar stands on the foreground sand (and flies in from above) at a safe distance from the crocodilian Leidyosuchus canadensis. In the distance, the decaying carcass of a Brachylophosaurus canadensis has attracted a huge azhdarchid pterodaur / Bridgeman Images
PIX4664147: Ornithocheirus - Ornithocheirus giganteus is a flying reptile of the order Pterosaurs and the family Ornithocheirides. With a wingspan of 12 metres, he lived in the cretace. Soaring through Cretaceous British airspace, Ornithocheirus giganteus was a huge pterosaur with a 12 m wingspan / Bridgeman Images
PIX4664346: Doedicurus and Eremotherium - Doedicurus clavicaudatus is a glyptodon, a giant tattoo, that lived during pleistocene until 11,000 years ago. It was three metres long and weighed two tons. Behind it is an eremotherium. Prehistoric glyptodonts of the genus Doedicurus graze on grassy plains 25,000 years ago in what is today South America. In the background is a giant ground sloth of the genus Eremotherium. With a turtle-like shell five feet tall and weighing over two tons, Doedicurus was the largest known glyptodontid, an extinct family of heavy-armored herbivores related to modern armadillos. Doedicurus carried a large spiked tail that could have helped protect it from large predators and other Doedicurus. Eremotherium was a Megatheriid that grew to 20 feet long and weighed up to three tons / Bridgeman Images
PIX4664384: Brontotheres and birds - Brontotherium with birds - Artist's view of Brontotheres (Brontotherium) in a landscape of South Dakota 35 million years ago. Brontotherium wander the lush Late Eocene landscape of South Dakota 35 million years ago. Modern rhinoceroses have a symbiotic relationship with birds (variously known as oxpeckers or tick birds) that eat parasites they find on the rhino's skin and noisily warn of danger. No doubt similar symbiotic relationships existed between birds and the megafauna of the Eocene / Bridgeman Images
FLO4661826: Shade clavary, (Clavaria umbraticola), suspect. Chromolithography of C.Krause, based on an illustration by Fritz Leuba (1848-1910), in Les champignons edibles et les especes veneneuses with which they could be confused, published by Delachaux and Niestle, in Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1890. / Bridgeman Images

Chromolithography of C.Krause, based on an illustration by Fritz Leuba (1848-1910), in Les champignons edibles et les especes veneneuses with which they could be confused, published by Delachaux and Niestle, in Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1890. / Bridgeman Images

Chromolithography of C.Krause, based on an illustration by Fritz Leuba (1848-1910), in Les champignons edibles et les especes veneneuses with which they could be confused, published by Delachaux and Niestle, in Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1890. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4662112: Dorygnathus - Dorygnathus at altitude - Flight of dorygnathus over a forest at the beginning of the Jurassic 180 million years ago. This pterosaur had a wingspan of about 1 metre. Like all pterosaurs, dorygnathus is a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. A flock of Dorygnathus soars high over a rugged, Early Jurassic European landscape of Wollemi Pine approximately 180 million years ago. Dorygnathus had a wing span of about 3 feet and its large, curved fangs suggests that it dined primarily on fish. Like all pterosaurs, Dorygnathus was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur (the flying descendents of the dinosaurs live on today as birds) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662250: Diplodocus et pterodactyles - Diplodocus and pterodactyls - Diplodocus (Diplodocus longus) is a herbivorous dinosaur living in North America around the end of Jurassic about 150 million years ago. It was up to 35 metres long. In the sky, pterodactyls, a kind of pterosaur, flying reptile of the Jurassic. Vegetarian Diplodocus leisurely graze while several pterodactyls pass overhead 150 million years ago in what is today North America. 115 feet long and weighing over 10 tons, from the tip of tail to its diminutive head Diplodocus is the longest known dinosaur / Bridgeman Images
PIX4662925: Einiosaurus and White Rhinoceros - Comparison - Einiosaurus & White Rhinoceros compared - An adult Einiosaurus who lived 77 million years ago is compared to today's adult white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The Einiosaurus was 2 metres high at the withers and weighed 3.6 tonnes, while the white rhinoceros was 1.8 metres high at the withers and weighed 3.2 tonnes. An adult Einiosaurus from 77 million years ago is compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The Einiosaurus is 6 and a half feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 8,000 pounds*, while the White Rhinoceros is 6 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 7,000 pounds.* Values are estimates only based upon available paleontological data / Bridgeman Images
