Dinosaurs Walk Among Us

These pictures were taken at the paleontology museum on campus. These magnificent creatures lived before our time but can you just imagine if they walked among us today?....



Instead of your furry little friend, this would be your dog Spike

When you went on walks with Spike, you would have to watch out for giant dino eating gators

You would have to try not to get stomped on by your neighbors "great dane"
And your neighbors dino would pee on your venomous, carnivorous plants!








 When most people hear about the museum of paleontology things like scenes of guys getting ripped of toilets by a T-Rex in the film Jurassic Park and fossils like these come to mind.





But even this little aquatic guy is pretty cool!





So when you have a chance, take a step back in time and check out the paleontology museum! (ps. do it even though paleontology is a hard word to spell!).

Animals Among Us

 It's really fun sometimes to go into a pet store because in one spot you get to look at a bunch of life that comes from all around the world!
These animals are all here in Provo at a place called Jays Jungle....



 This Lion Fish shows his territory with a great display of color, poise, and body.
 This large white and yellow albino python is well....large and impressive! I wouldn't want to mess with it!

 These are cool because they are sponges and cnidarians....not plants! I just recently watched a Disney commercial that called these plants, but what makes them cool is that they are actually animals!





They are pretty complex and have some crazy behavior, systems, and eating abilities.



These are some beautiful and colorful finches.










This Butter Fly Koi is huge. With his large butterfly like fins and little whiskers he said hello....


 and then made a brake for it!




To the right is the Chilean Dwarf Flame Tarantula. Though for a tarantula it's not that big, it's still a pretty big spider with some great orange colors.
 This Female Bearded Dragon sticks up her head at the males in the back saying, I'm just too good for you.

And after a while of looking at all this biodiversity, sometimes it's good to just take a nap.

If you don't like spiders look away, NOW!

Ball Python


What would a snake say if it could talk? 
Sometimes I wish I could be a parsletongue!
