PIX4663577: Antarctosaurus stalked by an Abelisaurus - Antarctosaurus stalked by Abelisaurus - An Abelisaurus (Abelisaurus) chases a young Antarctosaurus in a forest in Argentina. A 30-foot-long, 10 ton juvenile titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur of the genus Antarctosaurus is approached from behind by a 25-foot-long, two ton adult abelisaurid theropod dinosaur of the genus Abelisaurus deep in a forest in what is today Argentina. Likely a fierce predator, Abelisaurus resembled the larger Tyrannosaurus Rex that was to roam North America 10 million years later. Antarctosaurus was an herbivore that may have grown to 60 feet long and weighed up to 100 tons. Antarctosaurus had a squarish, blunt head with peg-shaped teeth / 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
PIX4662929: Einiosaurus - The Einiosaurs were herbivorous dinosaurs of the cretace, of the same family as the triceratops. A herd of plant-eating Einiosaurus roam the plains in what is today the Two Medicine Formation in northwestern Montana. In the distance a long-dormant volcano signals its return to activity by cauterizing snowcover into great clouds of steam. Within weeks the volcano will bury this scene beneath a massive ash fall, preserving the remains of the flora a fauna for future exhumation and examination by Homo sapiens 75 million years later. Einiosaurus was from the same family as the better known Triceratops. These dinosaurs were about 20 feet long, 6 feet tall at the hips and weighed about 2 tons / Bridgeman Images
PIX4662983: Nedoceratops and White Rhinoceros - Comparison - Nedoceratops & White Rhinoceros compared - An adult Nedoceratops (Diceratops) who lived 70 million years ago is compared to today's adult white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The Nedoceratops was 2.5 metres high at the withers and weighed 5.4 tons, while the white rhinoceros was 1.8 metres high at the withers and weighed 3.2 tons. An adult Nedoceratops (FKA Diceratops) from 70 million years ago is compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The Nedoceratops is a little over 8 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 12,000 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
PIX4662989: Torosaurus - Torosaurs were herbivorous dinosaurs of the cretace, of the same family as the triceratops. Here, a five-ton male is drinking a river. A five ton, 25 foot long male Torosaurus drinks from a river bordered by ferns and Bald Cypress in what is today southeastern Wyoming. Torosaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur from the same family as the better known Triceratops. Torosaurus had one of the largest skulls of any known land animal, reaching over 8 feet in length / Bridgeman Images
PIX4662994: Torosaurus and White Rhinoceros - Comparison - Torosaurus & White Rhinoceros compared - An adult Torosaurus who lived 75 million years ago is compared to today's adult white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The Torosaurus was 2 metres high at the withers and weighed 4.5 tonnes, while the white rhinoceros was 1.8 metres high at the withers and weighed 3.2 tonnes. An adult Torosaurus from 75 million years ago is compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The Torosaurus is 6 and a half feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 10,000 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
PIX4666098: Netherlands - detail/ASTER 09/2002 - 24/09/2002 Along the southern coast of the Netherlands, sediment - laden rivers have created a massive delta of islands and waterways in the gaps between coastal dunes. After unusually severe spring tides devastated this region in 1953, the Dutch built an elaborate system of dikes, canals, dams, bridges, and locks to hold back the North Sea / Bridgeman Images
PIX4666140: Hungary seen by satellite - Hungary seen from satellite Envisat - Image obtained by satellite Envisat. This mosaic image focuses on Hungary. Hungary consist of two main regions, a plain around the Danube River in the eastern part of the country, and highlands and mountains that are part of the Carpathian Mountain chain, towards the north / Bridgeman Images
PIX4666168: Ireland seen by satellite Envisat - Ireland satellite view - This mosaic of MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) images shows the country of Ireland (highlighted in dark green) and most of the island of Britain. The island of Ireland is the third - largest island in Europe. It lies on the west side of the Irish Sea and is composed of the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland, a region of the United Kingdom. Also visible in the lower right cornerare the English channel and the coastline of Brittany, France. Satellite Envisat / Bridgeman Images
PIX4666179: Volcanic ash cloud over United Kingdom - Volcanic ash cloud above United Kingdom - Volcanic ash cloud caused by the eruption of Eyjafjoell volcano in Iceland seen by Envisat satellite on 15 April 2010. This image, acquired on 15 April 2010 by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), shows the vast cloud of volcanic ash sweeping across the UK from the eruption of Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland, more than 1000 km away. The ash, which can be seen as the large grey streak in the image, is drifting from west to east at a height of about 11 km above the surface Earth / Bridgeman Images
PIX4666190: Iceland seen from the satellite ENVISAT - Iceland seen by satellite - Iceland covered with snow on 4 October 2008. This Envisat image, acquired on 4 October, features the island of Iceland covered in the first snow of the 2008 winter. More than 11 percent of the island is covered by glaciers. The Vatnajokull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe, is located in the southeast where the white area is more prominent. Reykjavik, the country's capital, is located in the southwest - slightly inland from the boot - shaped peninsula on the bottom left that extends out into the Atlantic Ocean. Brilliant colours of blue - green are visible swirling in the waters off the south and western coasts. These are caused by large concentrations of phytoplankton, which form the basis of the ocean's food chain and have an essential role in the global ecosystem / Bridgeman Images
