Owen Confronts Velociraptors

owen and velociraptors

I took Owen to the dinosaur exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Here he eyes the animatronic velociraptors warily. Then he turned around and saw the T-Rex-like monster behind him, a realistic enough beast that even I was taken aback.

We had a good day. IHOP for breakfast, dinosaurs, a trip to Ben & Jerry's and then a little detour to play with Sidney and Maddox, who played while the adults discussed the relative merits of the two remaining Democratic contenders for the party's nomination.

Dude! New Dinosaur!

They found a HUGE dinosaur in Argentina!!!!

Scientists from Argentina and Brazil said the Patagonian dinosaur appears to represent a previously unknown species of Titanosaur because of the unique structure of its neck. They named it Futalognkosaurus dukei after the Mapuche Indian words for "giant" and "chief," and for Duke Energy Argentina, which helped fund the skeleton's excavation.
Look, I'm dumb. I can't pronounce the dinosaur's name. I'll just shorten it to "Funkosaurus."
