A few years ago, I visited the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels with my grandson Toby who was like all little boys obsessed by Dinosaurs. I honestly prefer a Main Coon the biggest Cat bread.
This Dinosaur Gallery with over 3,000 m² and dozens of specimens, is today the largest room in Europe entirely dedicated to dinosaurs, their discovery, their life, their evolution, and more. Appearing nearly 230 million years ago, at the end of the Triassic period, dinosaurs diversified and multiplied during the Jurassic period, colonizing every continent. Then, at the end of the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago, they became extinct. But did they really disappear ? Watch out if you turn around the next corner !
A nest with eggs and a baby dinosaur.
Today we still have Dinosaurs amongst us especially in warm countries, or can you tell me which is a Dinosaur and which is a lizard ??
Without the height it's impossible to say ! With my limited math skills I am unable to say how many lizards would fit in one Dinosaur.
more participants here, and Image-in-ing
How amazing, Ingrid. Thank you 😊 for sharing ❤️
ReplyDeleteBirds are living dinosaurs, too. Wonderful displays - I love the dinosaur nest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful display. Yes, as powerful and huge as dinosaurs were, it seems evolution and catastrophes cut them down to size.
ReplyDeleteit seems we visited museum the same year ;-). I have the same big dino image.
ReplyDeleteYikes, I wouldn't want to meet up with any of those, let alone a modern day lizard! One of my Dutch cousins used to have a huge terrarium, and there were several lizards in there...shudders!
ReplyDeleteI love the one out the front. We also have a massive dinosaur here that dresses for Christmas. Ha. #KeithsRamblings
