On Newsround this Tuesday. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
The beach that's just for dogs. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:11 | |
And, the tiny, mighty robots that are strong enough to pull a car! | 0:00:11 | 0:00:20 | |
Morning, everyone. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
I'm Ricky. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
First up, fossils revealing how T-Rex became a fearsome dinosaur | 0:00:26 | 0:00:33 | |
have been found in Uzbekistan in Central Asia. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
A new species of Tyrannosaur has been found which shows how quickly | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
these dinosaurs evolved from fluffy, horse-sized beasts | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
into giant monsters. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
The BBC's science reporter Victoria Gill sent Newsround this | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
report. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
So, this is it here, some of the fossils, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
not all of them but once we have here. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
A small box for a dinosaur. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
What we have a are two of the bits. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Can I hold it? | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
Of course. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
There you are. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Be careful. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
90 million years old. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Only one of them. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
It's a totally new species of Tyrannosaurus, it is called | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Timurlengia. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
Way back in the Jurassic period, Tyrannosaurus weren't a whole lot | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
bigger than me. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
Tyrannosaurus stayed that way human=sized, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
dog-size, little bit bigger, until about this time. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
90 million years ago when they started to very suddenly | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
get huge and become dominant, go right to the top of the food chain. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
This is one of those Tyrannosaurus on the cusp of becoming a T-Rex | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
type of animal. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
The red sections of this show you how you jigsaw this together, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
what fossil you have. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
This is like a puzzle, and this is what we think the entire | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
skeleton would have looked like. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
T-Rex is an evolutionary mystery. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
We don't know much about how a dinosaur was able to become | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
so big, such a dominant animal. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
Finding this fossil, a primitive relative of T-Rex, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
gives us some clues to that mystery. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
ROARING | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
There's been good news for scientists looking after a probe | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
that blasted off yesterday heading for Mars to search | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
for signs of life. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has successfully sent a signal back | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
to Earth, as it continues on its 500 million kilometre journey | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
to the Red Planet. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
The signal was picked up in India, and confirmed that the satellite | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
is in good condition. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
To football now. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
And Leicester have kept up their winning ways. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
They beat Newcastle United 1-0 | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
last night. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
The only goal of the match was from Shinji Okazaki, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
and means The Foxes are now five points clear | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
at the top of the Premier League. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Manager Claudio Ranieri is playing down his side's chance | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
of being crowned champions. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:51 | |
It is open. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
And now we are fighting. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
We are fighting for the Europe. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:02 | |
And then there | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
might be four or five matches, maybe we are fighting | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
for the Champions League. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
I think you probably are now. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
Yes. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
Slowly, slowly. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
Match by match. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
Next, to the tiny robots moving full-size cars. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
These microtug robots can pull objects 2,000 times | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
heavier than themselves. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
That's the same as one of us pulling a blue whale. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
But, when scientists at Stanford University in the US | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
joined them together, they can do this. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Here they are moving a car weighing 1,800 kilos, 3,000 times | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
their combined weight. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
A coin thought to be nearly 2,000 years old has been found | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
by a woman out on a walk in Israel in the Middle east. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
The coin, from the year 107AD, shows the image of Augustus, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
the first emperor of the Roman Empire. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
It's only the second of its kind to have been found. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
The coin is thought to have been worth one month's wages | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
for a Roman soldier. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
It is important because it is so valuable that it is hard to know | 0:04:03 | 0:04:09 | |
who would have been walking around with a coin like that in Galilee. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Coins like that couldn't buy anything. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
It is like a $100 bill or a 500 euros note. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
Sometimes you'd have trouble changing it. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
We don't know who had the coin. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Whether it was a soldier, which is likely, because these coins | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
were given to soldiers as part of their pay. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Or someone who stole it from a soldier, something like that. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
Next, part of a beach in Argentina in South America has been changed | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
into a beach just for dogs. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
The beach has a doggy swimming pool, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
free canine snacks, and a posh food menu for the dogs. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
It means owners now have an area where they can let their pets | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
off their leads and let them run around. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
And, finally, happy birthday to Joanne the gorilla who's turned | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
two years old. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Zoo keepers in San Diego in America put up | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
decorations in her habitat, and served up treats | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
like popcorn and strawberries. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
I'll be back with more of the day's top stories at 8.15am. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 |
