Hippopotamus gorgops is an extinct species of the genus Hippopotamus known from remains found in Northern Africa, Eastern Africa, and the Levant.One of the largest hippopotamus species, it first appeared during the late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene, and became extinct during the early Middle Pleistocene.
Archaic Gorgons typically have snaky hair either with snake-like curls (Figs. 8, 9), or actual snakes protruding from their heads (Figs. 2, 5, 6, 10). The faces of Archaic Gorgons are particularly distinctive, typically with large menacing eyes, tripartite scroll-like noses, wide mouths with rictus-like grins or grimaces, lolling tongues, fangs ...
kabellengde – cable length, 100 favner, 185,2 m, or 1/10 international nautical mile, 185.2 m; kvartmil – quarter mile, 10 kabellengder, 1852 m. Kvartmil was a quarter of a Sjømil. sjømil – sea mile, now often (but wrongly) the international nautical mile, 1.852 km, but also used for other nautical miles and the geografisk mil. Sjømil ...
This species can weigh up to 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) and measure 0.64 metres (2.1 ft) in total length. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The larger of the two species of bibymalagasy ( Plesiorycteropus madagascariensis ), extinct tenrec relatives from Madagascar , is estimated to have weighed from 10 to 18 kilograms (21 to 40 lb).
'forceful') [2] and Euryale (/ j ʊəˈr aɪ ə l i / yuu-RY-ə-lee; Ancient Greek: Εὐρυάλη, romanized: Euryálē, lit.

The diameter of the eye socket was 2.8 cm (1.1 in), while the outer diameter of the sclerotic ring was 2.3 cm (0.91 in), and its inner diameter 1.5 cm (0.59 in). The ring consisted of 15 ossicles (small bones also termed plates) which overlapped each other with no gaps, and the rims of the ring were regularly rounded.
Pace [6] in minutes per kilometre or mile vs. slope angle resulting from Naismith's rule [7] for basal speeds of 5 and 4 km / h. [n 1] The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent. [1] [4] It is included in the last sentence of his report ...
[1] [2] In order to make mileposts consistent with the real mileage, every milepost beyond the equation would need to be moved. [3] For example, an equation of 7.6 back = 9.2 ahead means that the feature does not have any section between mile 7.6 and mile 9.2, and the distance between mileposts 7 and 10 is only 1.4 miles. This would usually be ...
