Living Dinosaur Terrorizes L.A. Museum

Ok, well it isn’t a real living creature… nor did it terrorize anyone, but if it was real, it sure would have claimed a few victims! What I am talking about is the recent addition to the LA Museum of Natural History. The museum launched a new attraction in June called Dinosaur Encounters, which features puppeteers in life-like T-Rex and Triceratops suits. This amazing exposition shows how scientist believe younger dinosaurs reacted to their environment and is a great way to punish your kid when they are not behaving (I want to see their faces when they find out that mommy wasn’t lying about feeding them to the dinosaurs)! Check out the video at the bottom of the post; the original video which was posted on MySpace went to #1 on the site’s daily video chart, earning more than 215,000 video views by the early evening.  The suit-puppets, each weighing more than 70 pounds, were fashioned by Erth, an Australian special-effects company; they’re billed as the first of their kind at a North American museum. Dinosaur Encounters take place three times daily, Wednesdays through Sundays, at the museum in Exposition Park.
