4568 - Concord, New Hampshire, United States

This card shows a duck-billed dinosaur called Hypacrosaurus. Fossils of this dinosaur have been found in Alberta and Montana, where it lived approximately 70–75 million years ago. It could grow to about nine metres in length and weigh up to four tonnes.

Hypacrosaurus had a hollow, rounded crest on the top of its head. Scientists believe it
may have been used for communication, possibly producing sounds or helping individuals recognize one another.

Like other duck-billed dinosaurs, it was a herbivore. Its many tightly packed teeth formed grinding surfaces that helped it chew tough vegetation.

One particularly interesting connection is that Hypacrosaurus nesting sites and eggs have been discovered in southern Alberta, including the Devil's Coulee area near Warner. These discoveries provide evidence about how the dinosaurs reproduced and developed.

Fossils have been discovered representing different stages of development, from embryos and hatchlings to adults. This has allowed palaeontologists to learn more about how the dinosaur grew.

3566 - Bakhmach, Chernihiv, Ukraine

Bakhmach is locarted in northern Ukraine. I'm taking this next paragraph straight out of Wikipedia: During the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 26, 2022, at least 65 units of Russian military equipment moved through Bakhmach, with about a hundred more on the outskirts. Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air. Слава Україні!
