Congratulations to everyone who entered in the Horns in a Tutu contest. As you can see from the entries, everyone did an incredible job. Draktter really cleaned up, earning an overwhelming win for his Horns facepalm picture. Drak, if you’re reading this you should tell us how you pulled that off. Wow.

That being said, everyone did a really great job and the rest of the voting was very, very close. Thanks for all the time you put into your art.

1st Place - Draktter

2nd Place- Rikodou

3rd Place- Mekaro

Enjoy your trophies! Great job everyone.

"Awww. Who's a pretty dino-bird? You're a pretty dino-bird! Yes you are!"

Hey everyone! We were just digging through our files and found an uncovered Nigel Marven webosode! We just released this awesome webosode starring Nigel Marven and a flock of ostriches.

Check out this brand new webosode now at the Prairie Pool. Learn just how closely related to dinosaurs ostriches really are. It’s so interesting just looking at them, you can almost see how certain dinosaurs might have moved and behaved. They’re like feathered versions of Gallimimus. I won’t ruin the rest for you, so just head over to the Prairie Pool to find out for yourself.

So you think you love science as much as Pterry does? Test your knowledge this Saturday at Buckland’s Peak with Pterry and a Science Quiz Party! The format is pretty simple, just like the Quiz Parties we have Primary Games. Except this time instead of dinos, Pterry will be quizzing you on different science questions to see what you know!

When: 11:00 WST

Server: Jurassic

While he won’t be unveiling all of the questions he’s asking quite yet, you can find about half of them on PERcY’s Webosaurs Blog located at this post.

The other questions will be a surprise so come prepared! We’ll be giving out WeboPedia trophies, so if you haven’t gotten one already now would be your time to do so!

Wow! We had some incredible entries for the Horns in a Tutu Contest. So good that every one that was sent in deserves to be a finalist. Yes, this is going to be a very long blog post. We’re letting YOU decided the winner though so take a look through the pics.

Laugh away at poor Horns in his pretty pink tutu and then decide which one you like the best. Boy, I hope Horns doesn’t find out about this or there is a another game of “Pass the Rock” waiting for me. EEP!

Unicornosaur?

Q: Which dinosaur most closely resembled a unicorn? -Unicornosaur

A: LOL, what a great question! Honestly, I didn’t think I was going to be able to answer this one (though I certainly wanted to). Turns out there is actually a dinosaur whose nickname is “The Unicorn Dinosaur.” The dinos name is Tsintaosaurus, a hadrosaur found in China.

Tsintosaurus was one of the strangest dinosaurs ever found. Unlike other hadrosaurs that had a long crest protruding backward, Tsintosaurus had a long, blunt horn sticking straight out of the forehead. No one knows what it was used for and the theories about it vary widely. What we do know is that it had very powerful jaws and teeth and could have eaten from the toughest of trees.

Unfortunately, Tsintaosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous. Liopleurodons lived during the Middle Jurassic which means you couldn’t name a Tsintaosaurus “Charlie” and have it meet a “Magical Liopleurodon.”

High five to anyone who gets that reference.

Less than a year ago, a group of dinosaurs were stranded on what is now known as Webosaurs Island. Our four characters ventured off into their new home to embark on some crazy adventures. You know a few of them already, we want to know your stories.

This week is National Storytelling Week and we’ll be hosting a special Storytelling Night on Friday at 16:00 WST at the Jungle Beach in the Jurassic server.

Here’s how to enter. Write a short story, however you want to, and submit it in the comments below. We want you to add to the stories of Webosaurs Island (since, you know, you rule the Earth here). We’ll pick as many as we can and have the mods read them out loud at Storytelling Night around the campfire.

See you then!
