Beijing Morning Post, March 11, 2010

Today’s Beijing Morning Post presents two images that many of the country’s newspapers featured on the front page.

A landslide in Shaanxi Province crushed twenty-five homes and buried 44 villagers. Seventeen deaths have been reported, and eleven people are still missing. (See this gallery from Xinhua.)

The bottom of the page shows one artist’s rendering of a feathered dinosaur. Scientists announced earlier this year that they had discovered the feathers’ actual colors (see the China Daily); this rendering comes from the Beijing Museum of Natural History.
