T-rex might have been one of the most fearsome meat eaters ever to walk the Earth, but, surprisingly, there was a group of closely related dinosaurs that were plant-eaters; they were called the therizinosaurs.

There are much bigger fishes in the river than this rather small guy, that do not pass over 42 cm (1.2 ft) in length and 3.85 kg (9 pounds) in weight, that trigger the dread in any traveler through South America.

Stopping whale meat consume is a bitter fight led against the Japanese mentality.
