I know a lot of people who say that dinosaurs are "for little kids" and that most people "grow out" of liking them, but I still really love dinosaurs. They are airing dinosaur shows today on Discovery Science Channel, and I always watch these shows when they play them.
To me, dinosaurs are as real as anything else in this world, and it is strange to me how many people tend to dismiss them as valid areas of interest. They were a huge part of our Earth's history. They are also still here today, all around us as the birds that we are all very familiar with! I think they are amazing, fascinating creatures, and I really enjoy finding out new discoveries on their behaviour in particular. I know I don't have the patience for it, but I've always dreamed about being an archaeologist. I just think it is a very intriguing profession and field of study.
So, does anyone else really enjoy dinosaurs still? Are there any dinos that you find particularly interesting? I really like Ankylosaurus for the herbivores, and Spinosaurus for the carnivores. And, who doesn't love the T-Rex from Jurassic Park? xD
My parrots even have their "favorite" ancestors. hehe My little green Quaker Parrot gets really excited and cheers when I call her a "Compy"(Compsognathus), which is actually a tiny green dinosaur that is about the same size as her. My big Umbrella Cockatoo literally starts roaring when I point at him and call him a "T-Rex". :furawatchi: I like to keep them connected with their "roots". Or maybe they watch too much Jurassic Park. hehee
