Nearly every day, these parents take their adorable toddler for a walk so that he can visit his favorite horse and bring him a snack! They shared the most adorable video of one of these outings on social media. In the clip, the little boy was totally thrilled to see his four-legged friend. What’s even sweeter is that the animal seemed equally pleased to see the child. Having hopped off his bicycle, the toddler walked up to the horse’s enclosure still wearing his helmet. As soon as the creature spotted the boy in the distance, he came trotting over to say hello! Immediately, the child turned to his parents for a piece of apple to give the animal. It wasn’t a moment too soon, either, because the horse was already sniffing around for his usual treat! @rieandco10 This is not our horse, but we do have permission to treat him. We take a walk (W rides his bike) almost every day to visit “Big One”. W just adores him and it has become the highlight of our evenings. What are your favorite treats to bring horses? #horse #horsefriends #sweetboy #excitedtoddler #momsoftiktok #thisis2 ♬ original sound – Rie and Co “This is not our horse, but we do have permission to treat him,” the grown-ups wrote in their caption. “We take a walk (W rides his bike) almost every day to visit ‘Big One.’ W just adores him and it has become the highlight of our evenings.” In the comments, the toddler’s parents shared a few more adorable details about their son’s sweet relationship with the local horse. They reiterated that the animal really seems to adore the little boy! “He’s sometimes up in his barn, too, and if he can hear us calling he comes sprinting down,” they said. “They love each other.” Screengrab from TikTok Apparently, this horse isn’t as friendly with everyone as he is with this toddler. In another comment, the boy’s parents added that this animal seems to get along best with children. “The owner says he doesn’t take treats well from her, but loves the kids,” they wrote. “He’s always such a gentleman with us.” What a wholesome friendship these two seem to have!

A new tyrannosaur has been identified from China, dating back 66 to 72 million years. It was retrieved from the Nanxiong Formation of Nankang District, Ganzhou City, and has a lot to say about the evolution of tyrannosaurs.Among the tyrannosaurids, the group of dinosaurs that includes Tyrannosaurus rex, we observe two key body types: long slender snouts, and deep stubby snouts. It's one of the latter varieties that was recently identified in southeastern China, and it's exciting news for tyrannosaur fans.As a new-to-science species, it’s been named Asiatyrannus xui as a nod to the new “tyrant” dinosaur hailing from Asia, and Dr Xing Xu of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.The deep-snouted tyrannosaurid wasn't fully grown, but it had gone through its fastest growth phase – a growth spurt that’s long been recognized among tyrannosaurs. It’s estimated to have been a small to medium-sized dinosaur in life, measuring around 3.5 to 4 meters (11.5 to 13.1 feet) long, which is roughly half the size of the long-snouted Qianzhousaurus Tyrannosaurs that also lived in the region.The fossil remains of Asiatyrannus xui.Image credit: W Zheng et al., Scientific Reports 2024 (CC BY 4.0)That Asiatyrannus and Qianzhousaurus were neighbors during the Late Cretaceous period could suggest that their differing snout morphologies reflect the different ecological niches they occupied. In the same way that the various beak morphologies inspired Darwin’s thoughts on evolution, it could be that stubby vs. slender snouts reflect different dietary preferences and ways of getting their dinosaur business done.“Asiatyrannus is the first definitive deep-snout tyrannosaurid dinosaur from southern China and is the southernmost occurrence of tyrannosaurids in Asia,” wrote the study authors, who say that it “currently represents the only definitive small to medium-bodied tyrannosaurine.”“Asiatyrannus is part of the diversification of deep-snouted tyrannosaurids and emphasizes the higher species richness of theropods, especially tyrannosaurids, in southeastern China," the authors continue. "The discovery reveals the coexistence of the long-snouted and deep-snouted tyrannosaurid in southeastern China as in the Late Cretaceous of central Asia[...] Qianzhousaurus undoubtedly occupied the apex predator, but Asiatyrannus might represent the small to medium-sized theropod niche between the large-bodied Qianzhousaurus and the diversified small-bodied oviraptorosaurs.”Those oviraptors have quite the reputation as small predators, but were they really the “egg thieves” their names would have us believe?The study is published in the journal Scientific Reports.

The distant volcanic island of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, is filled with unanswered questions – but few are more mysterious than its unique writing system that's never been deciphered. Located around 3,600 kilometers (2,237 miles) off the coast of Chile in eastern Polynesia, Rapa Nui is one of the world's most remote inhabited islands. It’s best known for its hundreds of giant head-shaped monuments, called moai, carved by the Rapa Nui people in roughly 1100 and 1650 CE.Europeans arrived on the island in the 18th century, bringing a host of problems including disease, murder, and slave traders. The situation worsened through the 19th century and a fatal blow was dealt around the 1860s when around 1,500 islanders were abducted to work as slaves in Peru, decimating the population. By the end of the century, most of its traditional culture was irretrievably lost, including an organized system of glyph symbols called Rongorongo that was intricately carved on wooden tablets.Around 1864, in the midst of this carnage, outsiders had noticed evidence of the writing system and missionaries began sending it aboard. Today, just 27 wooden objects inscribed with Rongorongo exist (none of which remain on the island of Rapa Nui). A replica of a Rongorongo Tablet at the Father Sebastian Englert Anthropological Museum in the town of Hanga Roa on Rapa NuiImage credit: gregpoo/Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0)Many were sent to Europe, where scholars attempted to crack the Easter Island code – but all of these attempts have fallen flat.One of the most respected attempts came in the 1950s by Thomas Barthel, an ethnologist from the University of Tübingen in Germany, who identified 599 sign shapes, although many contemporary scholars believe this “cannot be considered definitive.”Nevertheless, it is clear that Rongorongo has no apparent relation to any other known system of writing and may have developed in complete isolation from other cultures. Although unique, it does chime into certain characteristics that are employed in many other human writing systems – so, no, it wasn’t aliens that brought Rongorongo to Rapa Nui.“The shapes of the signs do not resemble any known script, and thus they appear to have been invented from zero,” reads a 2022 study by a team of Italian linguists.“Whatever the status of its creation, Rongorongo shares a characteristic common to all image-based invented scripts, namely that its signs are highly iconic: their shapes depict real or fictional things, including human figurations and body parts, animals, plants, tools and other human-made objects, heavenly bodies, etc,” it states. In other words, it's believed many of the glyphs are direct representations of objects, including people, turtles, fish, and trees. This is why many researchers prefer to call Rongorongo an example of "proto-writing," in contrast to "true writing systems," although the distinction between these categories isn't black-and-white.Rongorongo inscriptions on a copy of the tablet called Mu'a Au Mingo Ata'i Hoa Au.Image credit: Dennis Jarvis/Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0)Rongorongo remains undeciphered by the modern world, but there are ongoing attempts to better understand it. In February 2024, researchers published a study that applied new radiocarbon dating to four wooden tablets engraved with the glyphs. One of the tablets was made from a tree that was felled between 1493 and 1509, predating the arrival of foreigners on the island by at least 200 years and further affirming the view that the Rongorongo script may have been developed in isolation.Strangely, the old tablet was found to have been made from a tree species that does not grow on Easter Island, Podocarpus latifolia, which is native to southeastern Africa. How, then, did the wood end up over half the world away in the southeastern Pacific? Podocarpus is a highly prized wood that has been widely used for shipbuilding in Europe since Medieval times. As such, the researchers argue that the Rongorongo tablet may have originated as the mast of a European ship. Perhaps the ship sunk, creating driftwood that washed ashore on Rapa Nui after decades or centuries of traveling across the world’s oceans.Like a grim foretelling of the island’s future, Europeans would later arrive in person and retrieve the wooden relic, dooming the Rongorongo script into obscurity.
