In this video series for kids, we are learning about dinosaurs from A to Z. Today’s dino is the Spinosaurus! Looking at a picture of a Spinosaurus, can you guess how it got its name? If you said it was from the bony spine on its back, you are correct! Spinosaurus literally means "spine lizard." Its name is not the only fascinating tidbit about this dinosaur. Spinosauruses lived in Africa about 99 million years ago. They were one of several large carnivorous dinosaurs that roamed nearby rivers and plains. The first bones were discovered in 1912. There were few of them, and scientists used what they had learned from different dinosaur fossils to give them a picture of what a Spinosaurus looked like. Initially, they thought it was a land-only dinosaur, like a Tyrannosaurus or Allosaurus. However, recent information has altered what scientists previously believed to be accurate about the Spinosaurus. We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the Spinosaurus!

What do kangaroos, koalas, opossums, and wombats have in common? They are all marsupials! In this educational video for kids, we are going to learn some wonderfully wild facts about marsupials.   In case you need a bit of a review, marsupials are a super special type of mammal that has a pouch on its belly, or sometimes on its back if it is a burrowing animal like a wombat. This pouch is called a marsupium and keeps a baby marsupial warm and safe as it grows.   Marsupials come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny planigale to the huge red kangaroo. The one thing all of these animals have in common? The females carry their babies in their pouches, and some male marsupials have pouches too! There are around 330 marsupial species alive today.   We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about marsupials!
