6. New research suggests theropod dino teeth are too well preserved to have been exposed in a fierce grin all day.
"When we see dinosaurs in popular culture, such as in the movie Jurassic Park, we see them depicted with big teeth sticking out of their mouths," says Dr Robert Reisz from the University of Toronto.
"We imagine dinosaurs as more ferocious looking, but that is not the case."
Very little is known about what dinosaur skin and muscles were like, as usually only dinosaur bones are preserved.
So Dr Reisz decided to study modern day reptilian predators for clues, like the crocodile and monitor lizard.
Crocodile teeth stick out on the outside of their mouth, but their teeth are protected because they spend most of their time in the water.
Monitor lizards are land creatures. Their teeth are covered by gums and scaly lips, which are there to stop their teeth from drying out.
The T-rex also lived on land so it's thought it had lips like modern day lizards to help protect their pearly whites.
What animal makes researchers think dinosaurs had lips?
A: Crocodiles
B: Chickens
C: Humans
D: Lizards

7. Swarms of insects are using India's top tourist attraction, the Taj Mahal, as a toilet.
Poo left behind by the creatures is turning the white marble walls green!
The problem's been caused by insects breeding in a nearby polluted river - and there's been a rise in the amount of them.
Cleaners scrub the Taj Mahal's walls every day, but there are worries their elbow grease could ruin the beautiful marble and mosaics.
Authorities are looking for a way to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
"Officials have been asked to investigate as why there is sudden increase in the number of these insects and how to control their population," local official Navneet Sehgal said.
The insects are a type of fly that look like a mosquito.
The incredible building is actually a huge tomb built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife in the 1600s.
What are they worried will damage the Taj Mahal?
A: All the scrubbing
B: The insect poop
C: The tourists
D: The insects

8. An Indian couple in their 70’s came to a doctor for treatment because the woman was not able to get pregnant.
The doctor was not sure about this, but tests showed that she was fit and healthy.
The risks were not higher than the risks of a middle-aged woman.
After 3 years of fertility treatment, the woman gave birth.
As she is in her 70’s she is one of the oldest mothers to ever give birth.
Her exact age is not known, however, because she does not have a birth certificate, which is normal in India.
The new mother says that no one from the family taunted her for having a child.
How did the family of the new mother react?
A: They teased her
B: She has no family
C: They were nice
D: They won’t talk to her
