|  |  |  | Feather: Encyclopedia II - Olmec mythology - Man of CropsThe Man of Crops is a fertility figure in Mesoamerican mythology. Among the Olmec, gods are often depicted with a distinct cleft on the forehead, perhaps identifying this characteristic as divine. A carved celt, a stone implement shaped like a chisel or ax head, from Veracruz shows a representation of God II, or the Maize God, growing corn from his cleft, and also shows this god with the snarli ...

| | |  |  |  | Feather: Encyclopedia II - Olmec mythology - JaguarThe Olmec carved distinctive human figures in stone, some of monumental size. Smaller items were carved from fine jade and jadeite, including many human figures with strong jaguar features. As the jaguar was an indigenous predator in the area, jaguar figures may visually represent an Olmec myth about the interaction of the jaguar or a jaguar spirit with human beings. In this myth, a jaguar may have copulated with a human female and thus given rise to these "were-jaguars," represented as both young children and male adults. These figures, wit ...

In 1941 it was sold to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Dinosaur - Warm-blooded?.
A vigorous debate on the subject of temperature regulation in dinosaurs has been ongoing since the 1960s. Originally, scientists broadly disagreed as to whether dinosaurs were capable of regulating their body temperatures at all. More recently, dinosaur endothermy has become the consensus view, and debate has focused on the mechanisms of temperature regulation.
After dinosaurs were discovered, paleontologists first posited that they were ectothermic creatures: "terrible lizards" a ...

|  |  |  | Feather: Encyclopedia II - Dinosaur - In popular cultureDinosaurs were highly successful creatures; they were the dominant land animals on Earth for over 150 million years. However, it is their sudden extinction as much as their success that has made them an enduring part of human popular culture. Hence dinosaur is sometimes used colloquially as a metaphor for people and things that are perceived to be out of date or no longer in touch with the spirit of the times, and therefore ought to be extinct. For example, members of the punk movement derided the "progressive" ...

Dinosaur - Definition.
The superorder or clade "Dinosauria" was formally named by the English scientist Richard Owen in 1842. The term is a portmanteau derived from the Greek words deinos ("terrible" or "fearfully great" or "formidable") and sauros ("lizard" or "reptile"). Owen chose it to express his awe at the size and majesty of the extinct animals, not out of fear or trepidation at their size ...
