some stimuli only found in the wild are necessary for successful reproduction.)Bernhard Meier of Ruhr University in Germany has been exploring the forests of Madagascar, where once the largest of all birds lived. It was the Aepyornis(or "elephant bird"), which weighed up to a ton, laid the largest known egg, served as the model for the "roc" of the Arabian Nights and was driven to extinction ...

It also had a backward-sloping forehead, a receding chin and unusually ...
were made as to when N-rays were "liberated" and when they were not.However, most scientists in Great Britain, Germany and the United States failed to detect the N-rays and there were occasional recriminations based on national prejudice on both sides. An American physicist, Robert W. Wood, visited Blondlot's laboratory and was shown the procedures. Wood secretly pocketed an essential portion ...

German scientists have been studying oak wood dredged from rivers in southern Germany, and from bogs in northern Germany and in Ireland, and have been piecing together tree-ring patterns, They have traced patterns back for 6,000 years. They also had a very old pattern that they finally matched up this year with the main pattern, pushing the calendar back a total of 7,300 years. There are ...
pterosaurs somehow did manage to fly,how did they walk? Recently, two sets of pterosaur hip bones were located in West Germany, and they were not badly crushed.

We might, therefore, further deduce that, when not flying, ...
