Mosasaurs were the dominant marine predators of the late Cretaceous Period. With long jaws and powerful tails, they looked like a cross between a crocodile and a whale. Some mosasaurs were as big as whales, too–at 30-60 feet, the largest species were longer than all but the largest modern whales.
North America has plenty of famous mammals: the towering moose, the nimble flying squirrel, the blisteringly fast pronghorn–but the most iconic by far is the American bison (scientific name: Bison bison). This huge mammal–the largest North American land animal by weight– is the National Mammal of the United States.

An introduction to marine biology and the role of a marine biologist.
The desert biome is the characteristic community of animals and plants found in the world’s deserts. Deserts are found on every continent and make up around 30 percent of the earth’s surface. The main characteristic of deserts is a shortage (or complete lack of) precipitation; some desert regions go for years on end without rain. Other characteristics of deserts include extremes of temperature and very little plant growth. The desert biome consists of species able to live in these inhospitable conditions.
Since both plants and animals need water (and consist mostly of water), it seems logical that there would be little or no life in the world’s most arid regions. Yet deserts support an array of organisms that, due to a variety of remarkable and ingenious adaptations, are able to survive in this unforgiving habitat.
On this page you’ll find facts on the desert biome, including: desert characteristics, the different types of desert, and the typical animal and plant species found in deserts.
