Paleontology is like being a time traveler, using fossils to unravel the stories of creatures that roamed the Earth millions of years ago, from massive dinosaurs to ancient insects. It's about digging up the past, literally, to piece together the grand puzzle of life long before humans came onto the scene.
From possibly the heaviest animal to ever live, to a whale the size of a bottle-nose dolphin, the Basilosaurde family is a testament to the diversity of nature. Perucetus colossus and Tutcetus rayanensis are challenging our idea of how whales evolved.
With their enormous size, unique phenotype, and mysterious past, dinosaurs are fascinating creatures. You may have heard that the birds of today, like the Robin or the Eagle, evolved from dinosaurs over millions of years. Interestingly, a recent discovery suggests that a dinosaur not only had scales like a reptile, but also had feathers.
