The park was designed by Belanger and realized by Thomas Blaikie, in a typical Anglo-Chinese style of that period. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4663029: Triceratops - Triceratops was a large herbivorous dinosaur who lived at the end of Cretace, between 70 and 65 million years. Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, around 68 to 65 million years ago in what is now North America / Bridgeman Images
PIX4663358: Trinacromerum - Trinacromerum is a plesiosaur, a marine reptile of the cretace measuring 3 metres long. Below swim a champsosaurus and an ammonite. A Late Cretaceous marine reptile, Trinacromerum, cruises prehistoric Manitoba's oceans, while a Champsosaurus and an ammonoid swim by below. Manitoba is generally devoid of dinosaur fossils, for the province was inundated by the Western Interior Seaway for the vast majority of the Mesozoic that is preserved in its sedimentary strata. Trinacromerum is an extinct genus of sauropterygian reptile belonging to the plesiosaur suborder. It lived during the Late Cretaceous period. It was 3 meters (10 feet) long. Its teeth show it fed on small fish / Bridgeman Images
PIX4663928: Gigantoraptor compares a un oviraptor - Gigantoraptor and Oviraptor - Gigantoraptor erlianensis is an oviraptoride dinosaur living in the upper cretace 85 million years ago. It was nearly 8 metres long and weighed over a ton. The Oviraptor (Oviraptor philoceratops) is a small theropod dinosaur that also lived in the late Cretace. Gigantoraptor erlianensis was a giant oviraptorosaurian dinosaur that lived 85 million years ago during the late Cretaceous Period. Found from northern Chinas and Inner Mongolia. It was almost 8 meters long and weighed about 1.4 tons. Oviraptor philoceratops was a small theropod dinosaur living in the late cretaceous period / Bridgeman Images
PIX4664825: Heat wave over Spain - 01 - 07 - 2004 - Heat wave over Spain July 1st 2004 - From 29 June to 4 July 2004, a heat wave passed through Spain with ground temperatures reaching 57 degrees Celsius and an air temperature exceeding 40 degrees. Image obtained on 1 July 2004 by the Aqua satellite and the MODIS instrument showing surface temperatures; in red the highest temperatures, in pink the coldest. From June 29 to July 4, 2004, an intense heat wave swept across southern Spain, bringing air temperatures that soared above 40 degrees Celsius, and land surface temperatures near 57 degrees. On July 1, 2004, Spain (roughly the right - most three - quarters of the peninsula) and Portugal (left - hand quarter) were in the midst of a blistering heat wave that cost several people their lives. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite captured this image (13:35 UTC, or 2:35 p.m. local time in Lisbon, Portugal) cool, sheltering clouds hugged only the northern coastline, while the rest of the country baked in the Sun. The image shown here is land surface temperature observations collected by MODIS that scientists have color - coded in shades of pink (coldest temperatures) to blackish - red (highest temperatures). Deep reds dominate the country, especially around the central part of the border between the two countries, where land surface temperatures reach a scorching 59 degrees Celsius (138 degrees Fahrenheit). According to news reports, air temperatures were above 40 degrees Celsius (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit), and energy demand for air conditioning and refrigeration had caused power blackouts in places / Bridgeman Images
