Maybe one last picture for now from the new dinosaur thing at the zoo. Ellie wants to go back this weekend so there will probably be more later.
I didn't make a note of the name of these nasty-looking little creatures. The display gives the impression that they hunt in packs or just like to go out for a frolic with their pals. I don't think they could climb trees with those limbs but then neither can I. Good thing they are made of resin.
At least I think so. You can tell by the teeth, can't you? No sharp incisors here. Still, I wouldn't wear my floppy green hat if I were creeping in for a close-up.
The bony processes that look like fins on a stegosaurus' spine are spectacular. I assume they are for cooling with a function like the coils in a car radiator but I'm too lazy to look it up.
Aren't you glad you live many millions of years after the last really big meteor hit the earth? Another one from the Dinoraurus exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo.
Some people don't have any sense. I wouldn't let my dog, if I had a dog, which I don't, this close to the chompers of a T. Rex. But of course it's all fake, unless the scientists at nearby Washington University have made a remarkable breakthrough. It's been a couple of weeks now but we took Ellie to this new thing at the zoo they call Dinoraurus. There are a number of these creatures that can shake around a bit and make fearsome noises. Kids love it.
There is more to see from the Origami In The Garden show but we haven't had a Monday visit with the kid in a while. We took her to the zoo on Saturday to see an new attraction with the rather silly name of Dinoraurus. (They had to make up an odd title to trademark it.) There are life-size models of many species that move to some extent and, well, roar. Children love it. One of them with fanciful colors serves as a seat for young dino jockeys.
