       By my reckoning there were three different brontosaur puppets. An
articulated full-body animation model, a close-up head-and-neck animation
model, and a mechanical (non-animation model) for the aquatic sequences. The
later two also appeared in "The Son of Kong" (the head-and -neck animation
model being redecorated as a sea serpent).<<

This one is at the Czerkas's Museum. I say it earlier this year. :)
