TIL that when naturalist Robert Plot discovered the first dinosaur fossils in 1677, he believed they belonged to giant humans that roamed the earth years ago. It wasn’t until 1824 when Oxford professor William Buckland concluded that the fossils belonged to an extinct lizard, the “Megalosaurus.”

TIL the Tuatara is neither lizard nor snake, but it’s own distinct order that dates back 250,000,000 years, making them a “living dinosaur.” They have a highly developed Parietal Eye on top of their head, connected to the brain, that allows them to sense differences in lights and shadows.

TIL that the ichthyosaur (Greek for fish lizard) was a fish-shaped reptile, the same way as dolphins and whales are fish-shaped mammals. The process involved is called convergent evolution where two unrelated species adapt for the same environment.

TIL that the powder you see when you touch a moth is actually tiny scales, like on a fish or lizard. These scales give butterflies and moths their scientific name Lepidoptera (from the Greek Lepido = scale, and ptera = wing).
