Did you know that there was once a dinosaur called the Liopleurodon? It was probably the biggest meat eating animal that has ever lived. It existed 150 million years ago and could grow up to 25m in length.

Amazingly black bears can run at speeds in excess of 30mph. Trying to outrun a bear can be a fatal mistake!

Make sure you don’t touch this! Lava is molten rock and it erupts from a volcano as a liquid at temperatures from 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F). That is up to 12 times as hot as boiling water.
