Feathers.

I, for one, would like to see this puppet technology combined with the BigDog robot to make a quadruped dino.
Although I must say that a buzzing two stroke dinosaur would be rather odd.

Scotchdrnkr: Note that towards the end, as the funosaur is sniffing the kids, someone near the cameraman calls out encouragingly, “Cummon, eat one. Just one!”

Awesome. Definitely beats the ‘new’ dino exhibit here in Toronto at the ROM, where they replaced jungle and lighting with white walls and a stale office atmosphere.

Gee if the patrons of the museum in that video would stop and think about which Dino they used there.
Notice the Razor sharp teeth. (AKA MEAT EATER) and it was a real dino.
Can you say LUNCH TIME (LOL).
Wonder if any of the little ones had nightmares after meeting it. Definitely not a Barney the purple dino type.
I admit it was a very neat exhibit.
But why a carnivore playing nice with the meat. Why not a herbivore instead?

You know when I was a kid everytime my parents took me to the local bookstore I always bought a book about dinosaurs. I even bought the awesome series of books called “Dinotopia” which every dinosaur lover must have read or owned at least once. It had some of the most gorgeous art and the story appeals to any kid as it dealt with a world where dinosaurs and humans live side by side.

I was an extreme dinosaur geek when I was growing up, and this would have been amazing for me to see both then and now!

That is freaking AWESOME!!! MAN how cool is that? They need to get Jim Henson’s company up in there though to make more and better costumes! I’m sure they could make them even better, more moveable and more convincing heh.
Anyways.. awesome awesome. I’d love to see that in person.

I know, Monica. Think of all the adults that still think Muppets and the moon landing were real.

Am I the only one who thinks this is really stupid?

We have enough problems trying to convince people that humans and dinosaurs didn’t coexist, without planting memories in the minds of young children of actually MEETING one

That is full of awesome. Halloween costume idea?

Cool.
New ways to scare children are always great. Even cooler if the baby the lady was carrying had been a puppet, so the dinosaur could have reached over and bit off its head.

Even more realistic if it pooped every now and then, too.

pretty cool idea,
must of taken a lot of control to turn around without clubbing someone with the tail
