The world was a better place when the Apatosaurus was known as as Brontosaurus. Some genius decided to change the name, and bingo! Everything went to heck in a hand basket. Did you know that the Brontosaurus was 80 to 90 feet long and weighed about 20 tons? His long neck enabled him to curl up, bite on to his tail, and roll around the countryside like a giant tire.
I mistakenly labeled this slide "Hadrosaur", which is stupid because I've already shown a picture of this Trachodon. If a cow married a giraffe and they had a baby, this is what you would get.
And finally, it's everybody's favorite dino, the Tyrannosaurus rex! He had teeth six inches long, which is really all you need to know about him. We have confirmed that his jaw opened and closed like a bad ventriloquist, and his tiny arms moved as if he was playing an invisible piano.
I like the perspective in that last pic....it looks like the T. Rex is about to attack the Uniroyal Ferris Wheel!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that it's Sinclair Dino Land and the name of the family in 'Dinosaur' in the Jim Hennson/Disney production has the last name of Sinclair.
.....or maybe he's just going to "spin it" and try to get into the Showcase Showdown.
