Forsythia plants are deciduous shrubs that are part of the olive plant family. These fast-growing plants produce beautiful flower blooms in the early spring, and maintain their color through the late fall.

To aid in capturing prey, some ancient marine reptiles evolved features such as supersize eyes, fearsome teeth, or extremely long necks. Thalassomedon's 20-foot (6-meter) neck helped it ambush schools of fish from below. With 62 vertebrae, the neck stretched about 14 feet (4 meters) longer than a modern giraffe's, whic... | <urn:uuid:929f1c2b-5252-4ad9-b413-b2daea3d93a7> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2005/12/sea-monsters/did-you-know-learn | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783392159.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154952-00124-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965935 | 294 | 3.765625 | 4 |
