Recently my wife and I took our boys to the Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. It is apparently the largest museum in North America dedicated solely to paleontology. We enjoyed watching the boys excitement as they moved from one fossilized dinosaur skeleton to the next asking me to read the name of each one. I did my best but some of those names are ridiculous.
One of the many things that I found interesting about our visit was that not every animal on the planet suffered the same fate as the gigantic prehistoric creatures. Small mammals like mice, ground hogs and other rodents survived and continued to evolve. Their adaptability is what helped them survive while other larger and stronger species were decimated.
I have had many grand ideas for where my life would go. The things I would do, the man I would become, the father I would be and the life I would live. Many, if not most, of those ideas are now extinct.
My business is one of those ideas that has weathered delays, distractions, objections, defeat, wrong turns, breakdowns, and many other forces. It started as an idea that turned into a hobby that turned into a side job and then into a full-fledged business. It evolved.
The ability to remain rigid in most cases becomes unsustainable when life throws a curve ball. Kids, severe illness, a death in the family or other major changes will disrupt even the best scheduling and goal setting gurus. An idea that has some room to be moved around supports its own prosperity by allowing someone to both deal with life and still make small movement towards the ideas development.
The survival of an idea will often require the ability for it to start to sustain itself throughout its evolution. If the idea requires a large investment with no return in the near future, it will most likely die out.
First, bringing back T. rex and Triceratops would, I believe, simply be cruel. They lived during the end-Cretaceous period, some 70-66 million years ago, when the world was a much different place. It was considerably warmer, there were no ice caps, sea levels were high and the oceans lapped far onto the land, and the continents were in other positions. Dinosaurs would have breathed different air (there was much more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere then), eaten different food (grasses and flowers had just started to evolve, and there were none of the grasslands or vast flowering forests of today), and interacted with different animals (mammals were little more than ratty creatures scurrying in the shadows).
Steve Brusatte is on the faculty of the University of Edinburgh and author of the new book "The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs," which tells the story of dinosaur evolution from origins to extinction and tales of the women and men around the world piecing together this story.

Welcome to New Ideas for HSE & HSW. I know, this place is a lot smaller than it was a few weeks ago. We have to fix this mess and add more and more ideas to this world of wonders. Join us and help restore peace on the battlefield now that the war is over, and evil ended up winning by removing important ideas.
You don't eat to charge it, its like Cosmic Alan's Blackhole Sun in the way that you don't have to eat. It has a 7 sec cooldown. When used, Leo will charge towards the direction you aim in and stun the enemy it collides with, heal and deal impact damage that can kill any shark of tier XL or below instantly, I really have no idea how much damage it does, but lets say it does that much. Good news though, all enemies, even !! sharks, can be stunned.
Eat to trigger a massive explosion that heals Aaron completely while also killing onscreen enemies regardless of tier, size or species. This is activated upon death, but unlike Cosmic Alan, it doesn't revive you.
Teleport to a random place on the map. It can be activated with a one minute cooldown. It can only be activated if you are in a certain area where than are no obstructions between you and the surface of the water, since a UFO animation will play.
Activated in gold rush, large aura of poison around him which can 3 shot anything. Poisoned enemies are poisoned for 5 seconds with damage dealt every second so anyone who is unlucky enough to touch the aura will die.
On the left, there are small villages like the shanty town (name-village). No helicopters there, just people. To the right of the villages in an underwater current taking you to a special cave(name-grand abyss). This cave spreads across the bottom of the map. This is full of jellyfish, whales, submarines and sharks. Atleast 3 enemy megalodons can spawn here while 4 enemy Big mommas can spawn here too. In the middle of the map (spawn area, name is pleasant zone) there is a pleasant area where some fish, large sharks and jellyfish spawn in. Below this area is the infamous sewer, much larger than the one in south china, having four seperate entrances (one from the grand abyss, one from the right of the map, and two in the area where the sewer is). In the sewers there are 2 rooms guarded by motion mines that house a meltdown shark. At the right side of the map, there is an area without walls where you find 3 underwater currents, one leading to the right end of the grand abyss, one to the sewer and one that takes you to a seperate area called the open seas, where navy boats can be found alongside navy submarines. Boats have miniguns that slowly drain your health while the subs (They should look different) have torpedoes that thankfully do not home in on you. This is the biggest map. I would like to increase the other map's sizes to match but i really dont have that many ideas, but here they are.
Meanwhile in the Village, The Villagers and Dragons lived together in peace, but 50,000 Torvosauruses attack the village! Some Torvosaurus named Tom has a jetpack he used to Eat All the People and Dragons, except Nibbler, who survived. You have to play as Nibbler as you unlock all dragons and dinosaurs. After that, you can play freely.
Hungry Shark: The Movie- They should make a movie about Hungry Shark. The plot is that Glutwell is attacking the sharks, so they protest by eating people. Then, they attack a massive Glutwell headquarters. They fail, but another company gives them forcefields and jetpacks. They attack again, and destroy Glutwell. However, a few workers escape and wreak revenge. In the sequel, the humans rebuild Glutwell and use new machinery to attack the sharks. When it looks like the Sharks are doomed, their machinery break apart and rebuild into 2 robo sharks (Evo version and World version). The robots eat the humans and fires mines at them. In the 3rd movie, the Glutwell workers from the first movie capture the tiger shark and mutate him into atomic shark. They control him and force him to betray his friends. Luckily, he is freed, and uses his powers to finish off Glutwell. In the final movie, the humans bring Glutwell back and take control of Evo's lab sharks. They attack, and battle in an epic showdown. The humans begin to drive the sharks back, but Drago, Megalodon, Megalodon, Big Daddy, Big Momma, Mr Snappy, Mr Snappy, Buzz, and Leo, the ancient Shark Gods are revived and destroy Glutwell and the humans. Humans go extinct, and sharks take over Earth.
Glutwell HQ- a new map for HSW. It has a massive beach, with a large building. You can use a jetpack to get to different floors. Glutwell workers will shoot you with guns and lasers. Electric barriers are also in certain places. If you eat the Glutwell Leader, you get 50,000 gold, and the whole building becomes a giant barrier that you can destroy with boost. The building crumbles, and normal humans spawn 5 minutes later.
Nessie (Elasmosaurus)- This will be the XXL special shark. It should be added on a Halloween update, along with a new pet, new set, and 3 new power ups (below). It has all of Drago's abilities (land, neck) and has a Grappling Hook ability. It can latch to the side of a piece of land (Say, the edge of the oil rig) and boost to swing and hurl itself onto the targeted piece of land.
Narration: It was a sunny day. The entire kingdom was peaceful... Until the dragons attacked. Following their fearless leader Draconis a huge pack of dragons rampaged through the kingdom. But the knights fought back. A large wall prevented further destruction from the dragons. The knights pushed them back. And then it happened. The impossible. The knights captured Poseidran and had locked him away in their dungeon. The dragons were doomed...
Multiplayer- You can play multiplayer against 2 opponents by clicking "Search Enemy". If they are available, the challenger picks the map. Then, you try to eat as many Enemy Herrerasaurus (Triassic), Allosaurus (Jurassic), and T-Rex (Cretaceous). Herrerasaurus can be eaten by M and up, Allosaurus by L and up, and T-Rex by XL and Ptero-Bot.
Instead of Gold Rush, it has Extinction. In an Extinction, Small Meteors fall and smash edible things. You can also eat by yourself. In MEGA Extinction, everything is smashed. At the end, an Asteroid wipes everything out, and a loading screen respawns everything.
NEW TIER IDEA TIER SPINODAE(Spinosauridae)-This Tier will include only genus of Spinosaurus-This tier goes after Tier GMS and Tier XXL -Irritator Challengeri - The smallest member of Spinosaurus family
The Yangtze river which needs all size L to open (will be set up in the morning vs. the location : Lijiang old town, Three gorges dam, Yichang pier, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Shanghai city ) and there are prey :
