Your favorite dinosaurs may be history, as in nonexistent--ever. Following the loss in recent years of quite a few duck-billed hadrosaurs and the probable disappearance of Nanotyrannus, a supposedly miniature Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as a three-horned dinosaur, Torosaurus, comes the demise of two species of dome-headed dinosaur. A new study suggests that these dinosaurs were not separate species, as some paleontologists claim, but different growth stages of previously named dinosaurs.

Thirty years ago a strange creature was seen in Newman, Georgia. It was said to stand about five feet tall, was "big across the chest," and had "a face like a monkey and a long bushy tail." Was it just a local prank? It was seen again the following decade and some insist it still prowls the local roads. Also, the Jersey Devil is featured in Woodland mysteries not just for Halloween.
