Nature is often said to be the most perfect machine. The organs of animals have evolved over thousands of years allowing them to adapt to different conditions to finally survive and become what they currently are. So it is not surprising that researchers are looking at nature and evolution to create increasingly perfect robots. This is the case of a new car that uses a tail based on lizards and dinosaurs to achieve greater stability.
Research from the University of Alberta (Canada) reveals that the carnivorous dinosaur known as Carnotaurus, which lived in South America, was a much more deadly species than previously believed.

The plesiosaur, a prehistoric marine reptile, did not reproduce by eggs but gave birth to live young according to a US study carried out from a 78 million-year-old fossil that houses an embryo inside and published in the journal Science .
The analysis of fossils of a species of the same family found in China reveals greater similarities of Archeopteryx with the dinosaurs of the genus Deinonychosauria than with birds. The study of the remains of Xiaotingia zhengi ends a theory that lasted 150 years.
A team of scientists has discovered the youngest dinosaur preserved in the fossil record before a meteorite hit the Earth 65 million years ago causing the extinction of these large reptiles, according to the journal 'Biology Letters'.
Long-necked dinosaurs did not develop this attribute to attract females or to fight their adversaries, according to the results of a study from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
While adult tyrannosaurs used their strength and size to kill large prey, the young used their agility and speed to hunt smaller prey, according to a study by Ohio University published in the journal 'Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology'.
