What Was It Like to Be a Dinosaur?

Illustration depicting a t-rex

New fossils and analytical tools provide unprecedented insights into dinosaur sensory perception by Amy M. Balanoff, Daniel T. Ksepka

Alone Tyrannosaurus rexsniffs the humid Cretaceous air, scenting a herd of Triceratops grazing beyond the tree line. As the predator scans the floodplain, its vision suddenly snaps into focus. A single Triceratops has broken off from the herd and wandered within striking distance. Standing motionless, the T. rex formulates a plan of attack, anticipating the precise angle at which it must intersect its target before the Triceratops can regain the safety of the herd. The afternoon silence is shattered as the predator crashes though the low branches at the edge of the forest in hot pursuit.

T. rex has hunted Triceratops in so many books, games and movies that the encounter has become a cliché. But did a scene like this one ever unfold in real life? Would T. rex identify its prey by vision or by smell? Would the Triceratops be warned by a loudly cracking branch or remain oblivious because it was unable to locate the source of the sound? Could T. rex plan its attack like a cat, or would it lash out indiscriminately like a shark?

Japan Restaurants: Inside Tour Of Kyoto 3-Michelin Star Kikunoi Honten (2024)

Alvin Zhou Films (August 17, 2024): Hidden amidst the tranquil green setting of Kyoto, lies Kikunoi Honten, a world-renowned 3-Michelin Star kaiseki restaurant that has served guests traditional Japanese cuisine for over 100 years.

Housed in a mansion that resembles a samurai residence and teahouse, Kikunoi’s dining atmosphere is like something I’ve never seen. From traditional tatami mat rooms with unique flower arrangements and hanging scrolls, to the views of beautiful gardens that surround the estate, I was in awe the second I stepped inside. The food served at Kikunoi is on a level I couldn’t imagine.

Each course is prepared with ingredients that can only be harvested 10 days of out of the year, and the menu changes constantly to reflect the ebb and flow of nature and its seasons. 35 cooks fill the kitchen, each focused on a single task. It was a sight to behold.

I am beyond honored to have been able to spend time in such close quarters with the team inside their establishment – every second was a dream to film. Yoshihiro Murata is at the helm, leading his brigade of chefs and cooks to something exquisite and beautiful. I met and talked with many of the staff – they were all so kind, inviting, warm, and fiercely talented in the kitchen.

Culinary Profile: Norway Chef Mikael Svensson

MICHELIN Guide (June 13, 2024) – At NEW 2 Star and Green Star restaurant Kontrast in Oslo, Norway, sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it‘s a way of life.

Nestled in the city’s former industrial district, they pride themselves on sourcing wild, line-caught fish, organic or wild meats, and locally produced organic ingredients.

Collaborating with a company making fermented condiments, they recycle food waste into garum, vinegar powder, oil, and compost, and their wines are sustainably produced.

The roof garden blooms with bee-friendly flowers, and even the staff uniforms are made from organic cotton. Every detail at Kontrast reflects a commitment to sustainability, as envisioned by chef Mikael Svensson.

Travel & Food: What And Where To Eat In Canada

Expedia (March 7, 2024): What is Canadian food? Episode 1 of Where To goes beyond the search results to pull up a chair and find out.

From the Bay of Fundy in the east to the rugged Pacific coastline of Vancouver Island in the west, Canada provides glorious outdoor sights. Tour the nation’s impressive scenery, sophisticated cities and peaceful countryside for a vacation you will remember forever.

In the east, the fictional home of Anne of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island will make the beloved young adult series come alive. In nearby Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, see the unusual tides of the Bay of Fundy that rise and fall up to 50 feet (16 meters) each day.

On the western coast, British Columbia has lovely harbors in Vancouver and Victoria, with whale watching, sunbathing and shoreline walks. These and other Canadian cities have eclectic neighborhoods with concentrations of artists and ethnic centers, including interesting Chinatowns.

Spread across the center of the country, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton are among the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. All have modern city centers with wonderful restaurants, shopping, museums and galleries. In addition, each has its unique personality, from old French customs to major league baseball to cowboy rodeos.

Canada’s mountainous regions offer superb opportunities for summer hiking and sightseeing and winter skiing. Visit Revelstoke and Whistler in British Columbia and Banff and Lake Louise in Alberta for some of the best Rocky Mountain slopes and views. In the east, Mont-Tremblant in Québec has excellent skiing in the Laurentian Mountains.

Head to the lakes regions in Manitoba and Saskatchewan for fishing and hunting. Travel north to Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon to camp under the northern lights. Canada’s national and provincial parks cater to Canadian and international visitors with scenic trails and adventurous activities.

In Canada try panning for gold, taste maple syrup fresh from production or even go on a polar bear safari. Across the nation you’re likely to be greeted with a friendly welcome. Arrive anywhere and keep exploring the beautiful lands and waters of this great nation.
