No 2 - - Triceratops of Wyoming

[2] Triceratops – Wyoming (1994) 
 

While not as awesome as stegosaurus, Wyoming has the second best official state dinosaur with the massive triceratops. At 12 tons and up to 9 metres in length, it was a badass monster with a massive skull (among the largest of all terrestrial animals) the largest of which is 2.5 metres in length, making the skull half the size of a stegosaurus - - and that’s just triceratops’ skull!)

Hailing from the Hell Creek formation, 38 skulls of this classic monster have helped make it one of the most famous and well-known dinosaurs of all. And believe it or not, back in the 1800s, the horns were initially believed to belong to a “large and unusual bison,” if you can believe it.

Zombie Triceratops

I had this finished ages ago, but for some reason didn't post it.

Here's a Zombie Triceratops:

Cleveland, Day 3.01

WARNING: THIS PAGE MIGHT TAKE FOREVER TO LOAD. It's basically all pictures, and if you're connection speed isn't very good, then this could take quite a while to open. Sorry.

Here are just a few more pictures from our trip to Cleveland. I'll try and keep things in chronological order. These aren't all of the pictures, but these are the good shots that I managed to take, or at least bad shots of cool things (like the catfish sturgeon).

Here's the skull of a triassic carnivore, ceolophysis. This skeleton was pieced
together from a quarry of smashed skeletons, and paleontologists say that this
skeleton is comprised of at least three different individuals.

This is a quartz penguin, also from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Neat, eh?

Nothing wrong with adding the image of one of the largest skulls ever found - one from triceratops.

This is a neat building that we saw while walking through the empty
streets of Cleveland. Notice how there is nobody in the streets - unbelievable.

The 'Doc' warming up between innings. He was awesome.

Here is an early birthday present that was worn out to the game on Saturday.
We were recognized as Jays fans everywhere we went - mostly for the better.
We were told that the Jays sucked, at one point, to which the response was
"No, they don't." There was no rebuttal from the fans of the 0-5 Indians.

This is the Progressive Field scoreboard (more traditionally known as Jacob's Field.)

Here's a catfish sturgeon, the creepiest thing I've seen in a zoo since the Hellbender.

Here's a fossa, which is related to the mongoose, although it resembles
a cat. It ran on this wheel, but only with its front legs.

Here's a koala sleeping. This is what koalas do.

And here are some otters.

That's it for the photo-highlights of the trip. I hope you enjoyed following along with us.
