In the fashion of a true "Tall Grass Showman" the Curator Jim Z has just purchased a new exhibit to attract "clients" who have turned away from The Big Circus Sideshow because of the ear drum damaging rock music the Alpine Gut Twister plays at full volume directly across from his banner line. Here we see "Tammy Fay" the Tyrannosaurus Terror(not to be confused with "Daisy Mae" the two nosed star attraction) being unloaded by the driver. Curator in true style is taking the picture, and as soon a Mark Pierson gets her washed she will be ready for the evening marks. Whoops, sorry. I meant to write museum patrons.

It's nice, but it sure isn't a Chupacabra.

Wade, I think you know how I feel about mechanical dinosaurs from the copy of a letter that I sent to a former zoo director at my favorite zoo. Happy Summer Solstice!

Mary Ann,
This isn't mechanical. This is the real deal. If you knew the Curator you would know that he is 110% about fact and truth. Being in charge of one of the worlds greatest institutions of higher learning, is not a responsibility that he takes lightly.
He has the remains of the worlds last surviving Chupacabra to keep safe, after all.
Curator does not fool around with "fake" he is about education/higher learning. What Stephen Hawkings is to Physics, Jim Z is to scientific museums fronted by a banner line.

Mary Ann,actually this is from the Portland Zoo.It was well worth the extra 4 bucks to get in.Funny thing though,the kids seemed to get the biggest kick out of the piles of dino-poop.It's like in the circus,an animal can do the most amazing "tricks' and the biggest gasp comes when they take a dump....LOL....
Margaret,
Mary Anns grandson was in awe of the "elephants schwanz". They are children, and hopefully as they mature they will look at an elephant differently. Sadly a lot of people don't. LOL
