| Stegosauros, to be exact. This mama and her baby can be found at the Museum of Natural History. In a word: Wow. (This is my 6th D post for ABC Wednesday, and I can hardly believe I haven't shown you this before.) To see more abc Wednesday, go here.] |

Yes, you could easily have saved this for W is for Wow, Alexa. I really must get myself to our local museum. I haven't been since my school days!
ReplyDeleteAs you say, that is so very “Wow!” Great photo. Even the room it’s in looks like something from another time.
ReplyDeleteStegosaurus!
It is a little known fact that those large plates serve as vestigial organs among the young of certain species of animal.
Seriously COOL!

I so love this museum, but haven't been there in a long time....didn't go on my last trip. I remember my grandfather taking me there when I was little.
ReplyDeleteI still love dinosaurs, and used to know all their names; still do, most of them.
I'd love to visit this.
ReplyDeleteHow do they know that the big one is a female?

ReplyDeleteThat is a good question Bert. Female and male stegosaurs differed in their respective behaviors during their mating ritual, and, as it turns out, certain sex identifiers were found along with her fossilized skeleton. You can see, along with the discovering paleontologists, what once surrounded her feet, in another display, here.
ReplyDeleteFascinating to see! I haven't been to a museum like this in quite a while.
