Diplodocus (/dɪˈplɒdəkəs/,[3][4] /daɪˈplɒdəkəs/,[4] or /ˌdɪploʊˈdoʊkəs/[3]) is a genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaurs whose fossils were first discovered in 1877 by S. W. Williston. The generic name, coined by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1878, is a neo-Latin term derived from Greek διπλός (diplos) "double" and δοκός (dokos) "beam",[3][5] in reference to the double-beamed chevron bones located in the underside of the tail, which were then considered unique. It is now common scientific opinion that Seismosaurus hallorum is a species of Diplodocus.

At 8 inches (20 cm) they have the longest bill of any bird in the world in relation to their body size 25 in (63.5 cm). Despite its size, the  toucan's  bill is very light as it is made of keratin (like human hair) in a honeycomb-like structure. Gorillas  have ha

Genetically Modified Organs Genetically modified maize  ( corn ) is a  genetically modified  crop. Specific  maize  strains have been  genetically engineered  to express agriculturally-desirable traits, including resistance to pests and to herbicides.  Maize  strains with both traits are now in use in multiple countries.   A  chimera  is essentially a single organism that's made up of cells from two or more "individuals"—that is, it contains two sets of DNA, with the code to  make  two separate organisms. These individuals often don't know they are a  chimera . ... A person can also be a  chimera  if they undergo a bone marrow transplant. A  genetically modified potato  is a  potato  that has had its genes  modified , using  genetic  engineering. Goals of  modification  include introducing pest resistance, tweaking the amounts of certain chemicals produced by the plant, and to prevent browning or bruising of the tubers.
