Today, I’ll write about first area in permanent exhibition.
This animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex is the best animatronic T. rex I have ever seen. Not only its skin, but also cloaca was made.
Small hatchling Maiasaura peeblesorum grew much bigger for only 4 years.
The Fighting Dinosaurs is the greatest fossil ever known. I have never seen a fossil more wonderful than it.
This nesting Citipati osmolskae is also great fossil. This specimen is called “Big Mamma”, but for research, it might be male.
This Psittacosaurus mazongshanensis has gastroliths in its stomach. They helped digesting.
Edmontosaurus annectens has great dental battery. It was the best teeth for mashing plants ever lived
Diplodocus has teeth like pencils. It was good for stripping leaves from branch.
Magnirostris dodsoni had strong jaws. They must be good for not only feeding but also weapons.
Ceratosaurus nasicornis is not big as theropod, but it has long teeth. It might prey bigger animal.
Struthiomimis altus has no teeth, so it isn’t uncertain what it ate. What do you think?
Both Parasaurolophus walkeri and Corythosaurus has tube from nose in crest. It was used for blown like wind instruments.
Thanks for reading! Next time, I’ll write about theropods.
