If Saturn was to be placed in water, it would float. While the ringed planet is nearly 10 times bigger than Earth, Saturn is made of gas, and has a lower density than water, making it float! Male dogs lift their legs while urinating to leave their scent higher, so they seem taller and stronger to other dogs.

PREHISTORIC NEWS Palaeontologists at the University of Alberta, Canada have revealed the largest and oldest known T. rex. The T. rex, nicknamed ‘Scotty’, lived in Saskatchewan, Canada, 66 million years ago. He is believed to have been between 30 and 40 years old when he died – a long time in T. rex years! Scotty’s bones were discovered in 1991, but it took over 25 years to remove the sandstone covering the skeleton, piece it all together and study it. Scotty was 13m long, and the size of his leg bones suggest he would have weighed over 8800kg! An exhibit at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, featuring his skeleton, opened in May. What an incred sight!
