🦖 Our kids were amazed... and just a little scared! 😄

We visited Dinosauria in Amnéville and honestly, it blew us away. The dinosaurs are so realistic, they move, growl, and look like they could come alive at any moment.

📍 A perfect day out for families, nature lovers and little dino fans.

This is very well done, like the rest of the #Dinosauria episodes. Great #animation, impeccable #paleontology—or history of paleontology, in this case—and a story about predator-prey conflict that doesn't end the way you expect. I recommend the entire series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH57rtnKCEM

The Crystal Palace #dinosaurs don't look like anything that's ever lived on Earth, but they do look like something that *could* have lived. In retrospect, they're a lot more believable than the upright tail-draggers that dominated #paleoart for most of the following century! So it's good to see them brought to life, even briefly. Somewhere in the #multiverse ...

What's the "best" dinosaur backpack and why?

Please note that whilst we're technically referring to anything from the Dinosauria clade, we will consider older animals that came before and resembled dinosaurs, such as those from the Triassic period.
