10 Animals That Lived with the Dinosaurs and No Longer Exist Today.
Introduction The Mesozoic Era, spanning over 180 million years from the Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous period, is often dubbed the "Age of Dinosaurs." However, dinosaurs were far from the only fascinating creatures roaming the Earth during this time. The era also witnessed a plethora of non-dinosaur species that evolved, flourished, and ultimately vanished—either alongside the dinosaurs during the mass extinction event 66 million years ago or slightly earlier. These animals, ranging from monstrous marine reptiles to flying behemoths, left a permanent mark on Earth’s evolutionary story.

10 Animals That Live Today but Have Dinosaur Traits.
Introduction Even though most dinosaurs went extinct around 66 million years ago as a result of a catastrophic asteroid impact, their legacy lives on—often in plain sight—and ruled the Earth for more than 160 million years. Although towering sauropods and terrifying tyrannosaurs no longer roam the earth, many modern-day animals retain their ancient characteristics. Some creatures alive today retain physical features, behaviors, and genetic traits remarkably similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors.

Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation’ crashed some Windows laptops for years. Content Warning.
Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation’ Crashed Some Windows Laptops for Years — Here’s Why The bizarre story of how a pop song destroyed computers stands out among the bizarre tech stories. Yes, that is correct. Rhythm Nation, Janet Jackson's 1989 hit, had the unintended ability to crash some Windows laptops for years, and it wasn't caused by a software bug or virus. Something a lot stranger and rooted in the physics of sound and hardware design was the cause. In 2022, a Microsoft engineer named Raymond Chen wrote about this odd vulnerability on his blog, and it became widely known. Chen claims that a major laptop manufacturer discovered that when Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" was played close to some of its older models, the laptops would crash, not just the one playing the song but also any devices in the vicinity. A Dangerous Frequency-Changing Song A phenomenon known as resonance is at the root of the issue. Resonance is a term used in physics when an object vibrates at the same natural frequency as sound waves in its surroundings. By hitting the right note, an opera singer can break a wine glass using the same principle. It turned out that the song "Rhythm Nation" had a frequency that corresponded to the natural resonant frequency of a particular 5400 RPM laptop hard drive. These hard drives had vibrating magnetic platters and used spinning platters. The drive's components would vibrate in sync with that frequency when the song's audio was played through the laptop's speakers or even speakers nearby. The result? The system would crash, freeze, or completely shut down as a result of the hard drive's inability to function properly. Not merely a Myth This wasn't just a joke about the tech industry or an urban legend. The issue was taken seriously by the manufacturer, who documented it in their system. They ended up including a workaround because the issue was so specific: they added a custom audio filter to the affected laptops, which would detect and eliminate the problematic frequency whenever “Rhythm Nation” was played. To prevent accidental crashes, the laptop was basically programmed to self-censor that particular tone. Because the issue was not limited to playing the song locally, this workaround was necessary. The resonance effect could still be the cause of the crash, even if the song was played loudly by another nearby device, like a colleague's computer or a radio. This meant that multiple laptops could unexpectedly spiral out of control in a shared workspace where Janet Jackson was playing. Why “Rhythm Nation”?

Viral Image Shows 100 Baby Crocodiles Riding on Their Father’s Back in a Heartwarming Display of Nature.
Viral Image Shows 100 Baby Crocodiles Riding on Their Father’s Back in a Heartwarming Display of Nature. The animal kingdom never ceases to amaze with its fascinating behaviors and a recent viral image has captured one of the most heartwarming moments in nature. The photograph which has been widely shared across social media platforms, shows a remarkable sight 100 baby crocodiles clinging onto their father’s back as he gently glides through the water. This extraordinary display of parental care has captivated audiences worldwide challenging common misconceptions about crocodiles as cold blooded and ruthless creatures. Crocodiles are often seen as fierce predators but they also exhibit remarkable parenting skills particularly when it comes to safeguarding their young. While many reptilian species abandon their eggs after laying them crocodiles, especially the gharial species featured in this viral image display an unusual level of care. The father in the image is a gharial, a critically endangered crocodilian species found in South Asia primarily in India and Nepal. Known for their long slender snouts adapted for catching fish these reptiles have a unique way of nurturing their offspring. In this touching image, the father gharial is seen carrying his hatchlings on his back, ensuring they remain safe from potential predators lurking in the waters. Baby crocodiles when they first hatch are vulnerable to a variety of dangers including larger fish birds and even other crocodiles. By offering his back as a secure platform the father provides them with protection and a means of transportation across their aquatic habitat. This behavior significantly increases the survival rate of the hatchlings reinforcing the importance of parental care in the reptilian world. Scientists and wildlife conservationists have long studied crocodilian parenting behaviors but such a massive gathering of babies on a single father's back is a rare and remarkable sight. Usually crocodilian mothers are more commonly associated with parental care as they often guard their nests and help their young reach the water after hatching. However in the case of gharials the role of the father is crucial. Since gharials live in river ecosystems with strong currents and numerous predators the father’s presence plays a significant role in ensuring the well being of his offspring. The viral image serves as a powerful reminder of the delicate balance of nature and the importance of conservation efforts. Gharials, once abundant in South Asian rivers have faced severe population declines due to habitat destruction pollution and human activities such as sand mining and illegal fishing. Conservation programs have been working to revive their numbers and this image highlights the success of such efforts in protecting and preserving these majestic reptiles.
