Weekly dino fact

Weekly Dino Fact: Strongest Bite

November 25th, 2010

Woah!! Rexxy your mouth looks uhhhh SMALL!

This week’s Weekly Dino Fact comes by way of a question from our very own Irvine:

Q: Is there any dinosaur that stronger than Rexxy (He’s a T-Rex)?

An excellent question Irvine! This question was somewhat left open to interpretation because strength can be measured in a lot of different ways. While Rexxy (Tyrannosaurus Rex) certainly had a powerful mass and body, he wasn’t exactly pushing people around with those tiny arms. While T-Rexes probably used their giant bodies to ram into other dinos occasionally, most of their strength lived in their powerful jaws and as powerful as those jaws were, there is another, very familiar dino with even more powerful jaws. Deinosuchus aka “Terrible Crocodile,” was the ancestor of modern day crocodiles and alligators. These bad boys could get to be over 50 feet long, but their real power was in the strongest bites of all time. Modern day crocodiles have the strongest bite on earth measuring around 9,400 newtons, but Deinosuchus had the most forceful bite ever measuring almost twice that of their modern-day descendants at 18,000 newtons. In other words, you did not want to be on the business-end of one of those bites. CHOMP. What do you think of Deinosuchus’ bite? What would you like to learn about in next week’s Dino Fact? Remember to post your comments and leave your questions for next week. Wooot!

Stretch and Horns Games Tour – Saturday

“I’M STRONGER!” “No way bro, I’m way stronger!”

Hey gang, after a successful week of feasting, there’s nothing I like more than playing some awesome games to get back to normal. This Saturday, we’re going to have a good old fashioned Games Tour and get the blood flowing again. Horns and Stretch will be up bright and early on Saturday morning and waiting in the Gushing Geyser and then once they get a good group together they’ll head off on their Games Tour. Horns and Stretch have told me they’re going to face off in Power Lifting, Sand Surfing, Dance Party and more. They’ve also mentioned that they’re going to have a secret Fossil Magic battle somewhere on the island, I’m sure they’ll have more details of what they’re planning at party time, but this should be a BLAST!

Trivia Party with Pterry – Friday

Are you ready for some Trivia?!?

Hey gang, this is not exactly how he pictured it, but the idea for our Friday Party this week comes by way of Webosaurs very own Doggy, it’s a Triva Party with Pterry! Pterry threw a Mystery Party in Sub Alpine Forest a few weeks ago, he had dinos trying to figure out what was going on with the monster he had captured there and then had a blast asking trivia questions and giving out coin codes for correct answers. Well, Pterry has been stockpiling trivia questions since then, he’s got questions about feasting, he’s got questions about dinosaurs, he’s got questions about Webosaurs, but what’s even better is he’s going to allow you to post categories that you’d like him to ask questions about as comments on this blog post. So post categories that you’d like to see as trivia questions and come on down to the Voodoo Hideaway at a special early time at 12 WST for an awesome Trivia Party on Friday! Remember to post what types of questions you’d like to see and to sign up for one or both of the cool contests going on on the Blog. The Cave Contest ends tomorrow and the Comic Contest runs through Friday. See ya soon!

Game of the Week – Wookey Lanes

Bowling for STRIKES! 

Hey gang, this week the game of the week is the wonkiest, wackiest, wookiest game on the Island… It’s Wookey Lanes! Wookey Lanes is one of the great games on Webosaurs Island because it’s Multi-player AND Single-player so no matter if you’re getting down solo or with a friend, you can always head over to Prairie Pool and get your bowl on. Personally, I’ve never been too good at keeping that ball straight enough to score any high scores, but there are some major bowling talents on the Island, so be careful who you challenge!

Even if you don’t roll the highest score you won’t be disappointed because Wookey Lanes is going to be cranking out even more coins than usual this week! As I mentioned above, Wookey Lanes is located in Prairie Pool, so don’t waste too much time before you head over there and knock down some dino bone pins!

~Ronaldinho1

Yay! My high score in this game is 246 and I’m gonna get some big amount of coins. 🙂

If you aren’t familiar, we encourage our Protectosaurs to meet up as a group once a week to discuss issues on the island and other items of interest. However, the meetings aren’t closed off to only Pros – they are more like Town Hall style meetings for everyone to discuss island business. Everyone has an equal stake in Webosaurs and we would love to hear what is on your mind. Topics that are on the agenda for this week:

Weekend Review: Findmeosaur and Costumes take over!

Woah! Sweet digs!

WOAH! What a great weekend on Webosaurs Island! As usual there was fun to be had all weekend long, but this weekend was especially rad because of the new wearable items that were released last week. Everyone has been trying on new kicks, mohawks, capes and masks trying to figure out their new look. By Sunday there were some especially creative combos and many dinos showed up at our Webosaurs Costume Party this morning to strut their stuff and show off the new items they are wearing. I had an amazing time and was lucky enough to be a judge during our Costume Contest along with our special guest judge Stretch (oh yeah, my costume was Stretch), I hope no one got too confused. xD

Friday, and all weekend long, Findmeosaur was on the scene! On Friday we had a Findmeosaur Party in which dinos competed in speed rounds to see who could find Findmeh the most times. Congrats to our Champion Kingnick, 2nd place finishers JohnnyNitro, Ilikebugs and Rowsy and 3rd place finishers Doggy, Gerbil and Pumpedaaron. You’ll all receive your trophies soon! Findmeh had such a blast on Friday that he kept popping in all weekend long. Did you have a chance to find Findmeh?? Don’t forget dinos, there are still two awesome contests going on, so sign up if you haven’t already. Let’s get ready for a great week!
