The Typing Trex;
the last surviving member of its species, escaped extinction and learned to type, bringing you fact and opinion from the natural world.
__________________________________________
The Typing Trex is a blog setup by five zoologists looking for a platform from which to express their enthusiasm and passion for the natural world. The aim is to convey some of the key points and ideas of ecology, evolution, behaviour and environmental science (in an interesting and entertaining fashion), while also keeping you up to date with the biggest happenings in conservation and climate change. The subject matter may be local or national but we aim to get to the underlying issues making it globally accessible. Blogs range from the purely factual to opinion pieces with each author writing on a range of favourite subjects.
