FEATHER FACTS:
The feathered animatronic dinosaurs and fossils in the exhibition illustrate the current scientific thinking that some of the
dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, looked much different than previously thought. At one time all dinosaurs were
represented as being reptilian-looking with a scaly, leather-like skin. This exhibition explains that from the time of hatching
to some juvenile stage, some dinosaurs sported a covering of both scales and a downy covering of hair-like feathers that
helped regulate heat.
