Hello, Beastie

 Here we continue with more dinosaurs.


Paleontology as a profession started up in the 19th century and has carried on today, continuing to contribute to our understanding of these animals that lived millions of years ago.


Duck-billed dinosaurs are found here.


A comparison between jawlines of the edmontosaurus, seen above, with the daspletosaurus, seen in my first post, is telling of the difference of vegetarian versus carnivorous dinosaurs.

    I love how Calvin and Hobbes still "live" with them and movies like Night at the Museum...

  5. It’s amazing that dinosaurs live on in Ottawa. They have recently discovered a new and especially primitive form recently. It’s the dreaded, ugly, devious, malevolent Polièvresauraus horribilis.

    1. No, but lots of things that are real are missing from that.

  8. I remember being fascinated by dinosaurs as a little boy, but then forgot all about them till I read a book about them a couple of years ago - they are just as fascinating as ever they were!
