Last Surviving Dinosaur

Remember Jurassic Park? The first film featured some cool Animatronics dinosaurs that were about 15” tall and were neatly combined with CG to recreate the fierce reptiles of the past. The next two films featured only CG dinosaurs, but this is not the point of the current article. What I want to show you now is some advanced Animatronics dinosaur, but I’m not referring to a toy-sized dinosaur, I’m actually referring to a T-Rex twice the size of an average man. The robotic dinosaur can be found at the LA Museum of Natural History. Check it out in this video:

Gizmodo says there are absolutely no computer generated effects in this video. The dinosaur you see is an Animatronics-like mechanical robot, but with more refined movements than those Jurassic park monsters. It looks pretty real, and it might even eat up your kids if you let them alone with the famished robot. Well, not really, but it sure can scare the living daylights out of a bunch of meddling kids that are ready to lay waste on your backyard. Or it could help you with those pesky trick-or-treaters that come around Halloween. Eheh, they would be in for a nasty trick… raaaaahr!
