Which happened first; five lionesses at the Singapore Zoo were put on birth control or the first dinosaur fossil discovery in Antarctica?

March 14 1985 - Lion population "a Hypsilophodontid a plant-eating ornithopod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period was found on the Lopez de Bertodano Formation on Vega Island in 1991" Bad source in internet.

This site lists a number of Antarctic dinosaur discoveries, of which the earliest was a Nodosaurid Ankylosaur found in 1986. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinofossils/locations/Antarctica.shtml If the lions were in 1985, they still came first. Jul 20 10, 4:22 AM

The Antarctopelta, [a genus of ankylosaurian dinosaur with one known species, was discovered on James Ross Island in 1986, constituting the first dinosaur remains ever discovered on Antarctica, although it is the second dinosaur from the continent to be formally named.] (January 1986) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctopelta "March 14 – Five lionesses at the Singapore Zoo are put on birth control after the lion population increases from 2 to 16." (March 14 1985) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985 Yes, lions were first. Jul 20 10, 8:58 AM
