 | | There were cute little gargoyles.
|
|
 | | They looked kinda like pterodactyls.
|
|
 | | Or something out of an Edward Gorey cartoon.
|
|
 | | The building is wonderful; there are so many carvings and interesting little architectural bits that it's hard to take it all in.
|
|
 | | And, of course, the obligatory animatronic Deinonychus.
|
|
 | | The bones were cooler, perhaps because they left more to the imagination.
|
|
 | | Enormous skulls.
|
|
 | | Owls peering out from the columns.
|
|
 | | Grrrrr.
|
|
 | | Arrrgh.
|
|
 | | Nifty-looking skate (also a decoration on one of the columns).
|
|
 | | Plesiosaur skeleton.
|
|
 | | Lots and lots of Icthyosaurs.
|
|
 | | Every kind you could imagine.

|
|
 | | Beeeeg Diplodocus.
|
|
 | | More critters from the columns.
|
|
 | | Fishy-looking ones…
|
|
 | | …and some that looked like something right out of the Burgess shale…
|
|
 | | …and fish eating other fish…
|
|
 | | Miniature pangolins! (I want one.)
|
|
 | | Less miniature pangolin.
|
|
 | | At night, the ice weasels come.
|
|
 | | Wooly rhinoceros. It looks like a rhino with a bad toupee.
