Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for millions of years but it wasn’t until about 200 years ago that scientists figured out that these fossilised bones belonged to enormous extinct reptiles. These forgotten prehistoric creatures not only lived on land but also in the oceans and in the air! They are truly fascinating creatures that we have never had the chance to encounter!

Many of you might recall that I had recently written a series blog posts for Chinese New Year and that this year is the year of the Horse. In the Chinese zodiac, the horse came in seventh out of the 12 year cycle of the animals. If you would like to find out more about the Chinese zodiac animals, click here to read more. Why does the horse come in seventh in the cycle? Legend has it that the sneaky Snake hid itself on the Horse’s hoof. Before crossing the finishing line, the Snake frightened the Horse and took the 6th spot and left the horse in 7th.
