It metabolizes the plastic and turns it into organic matter as part of its natural digestive system #EnvironmentalScience #rainforest #science_memes #plasticpollution
A new study uses ordinary bones to discover extraordinary things!
Christina Garros and a team including Mark Powers, and Dr. Philip Currie (University of Alberta) looked at troodon foot bones from Dinosaur Provincial Park. A close examination revealed both patterns of injury and bone growth that tell us how these they lived - and even suggest three different growth trajectories. Very mysterious!
