...dominated on the defensive front as well, turning up the heat on Harvard’s front line as the contest wore on. Kelly Kramer turned in 19 digs for the Big Red and teammate Bishop added 18. Cornell also recorded 10 blocks in the match and limited the Crimson to just .078 hitting efficiency on the evening...
Finch’s doctor told him that the incident was a mix between heat exhaustion and a concussion. Teammates and coaches say that Finch had head-to-head contact with another player, but that the hit was not particularly strong...
...stereotypical resting pose of birds." The sleeping dragon was found sitting on its hindlimbs, its forelimbs folded at its side, its head tucked under its left elbow and its long tail curled around its body. Experts believe modern birds sleep in a similar position to conserve heat; presumably Mei long did too, which suggests that the animal was warm-blooded. If that was the case, says Norell, it also offers an explanation for feathers: "It's likely they first evolved for insulation rather than flight." Birds simply found another use for them...
...from year to year--the scientists were able to estimate that T. rex packed on weight at a blistering pace, sometimes as much as 5 lbs. a day. That also supports the idea of warm-bloodedness, which means baby T. rex had to have a way to retain body heat. As the dinosaur shot toward adulthood, however, it would have developed the opposite problem: shedding the excess heat pumped out by an active, 11,000-lb. body. Norell and Xu theorize that T. rex probably lost its feathers as it matured, just as growing elephants lose their body hair...
