<<  did the book give a clear identification of precisely what Gwangi
was Allosaurus,Tyrannosaurus,what?) >>

       In the book, Harryhausen says, "Although Gwangi had been an allosaurus 
in Obie's version, I decided to make him more of a tyrannosaurus, and so I 
used elements from both species to make what I suppose could be a ' 
tyrannosaurus al'. This combination allowed me a flexability between 
aggressiveness and 
agility. If you like, he was glamorized."
       It really is a wonderful book. The US edition arrives in April. DV
