far fetched. Hovever you must remember , the bottom line is green.
Would the public find accurate dinosaurs interesting? Though I would so
love to see small feathered dromeosaurs and 20' long Dilophosaurus I don't
think it would go over to well with the public...so many times I have heard
(more acurratly read) " dinosaurs with feathers look gay"
" or whats wrong with the wrists on yout drawing they looks
broke" Right,
money is the main thing. If ‘we’ had the backers to fund the dinosaurs, make
the dinosaurs more accurate, i.e. leaner, meaner (which I wouldn’t doubt the
theropods were), cooler looking then the public would be drawn into science and
not even know it. We make the behaviors correct and interesting to the public
then we’re in the running. Kevin Padian physically illustrated the arm movement
(years ago at a symposium) that would scare the crap out of kids if it were put
on the screen. Fast and effective. Tracy L. Ford P. O. Box 1171 Poway Ca 92074 |
