An unexpected and shocking bright flash of colour today with a fuchsia and yellow #Garden cosmos I spotted on my travels! They actually thrive in poor soil. Too much rich fertilizer or rich soil causes the plants to grow tall, weak, and leafy with very few #flowers #BloomScrolling #Gardening

Scientists have found the first series of dinosaur tracks suspected to be left by a t-rex, shedding some light on their walking pace. The individual who left these tracks appears to have been moving along about as fast as a human speedwalking. www.sciencenews.org/article/t-re... #FossilFriday 🦖 🧪
First series of adult T. rex footprints hints at its walking speed
The steps were poorly preserved, but still hint at an ambling pace of 1.6 meters per second, roughly equivalent to a quick walking speed for a human.
