Walk With the Dinosaurs



One of the world's most popular moving show- "Walking With Dinosaurs" was in my area! In fact, I heard it was an educational experience. I had to go and see these prehistoric robots perform. In the beginning, the scientist talks about how science isn't boring, but an adventure. We "go back in time" 165 million years and start at the Triassic Period where the it's the dawn of dinosaurs. There are no continents except for one called Pangea. A tiny little creature pokes his head out of an egg, but is suddenly eaten by an adult!
Their mother comes to the rescue to protect the remaining babies, and is much larger than the the little assaulter. We then move 20 million years ahead, and are in the Jurassic Period. Pangea breaks into two, other than dinosaurs dying out, it actually improves the number of dinosaurs! Some dinosaurs seem similar but had evolved to be larger, and some were completely new. It was thrilling!

(They said that this type of dinosaur with the biggest head in its herd is the leader, as he has stronger defense when they fight.)

They finally move to the Cretaceous Period, when 30 million years pass. Pangea has split into more than 5 pieces now, and some dinosaurs become airborne to get around over the new oceans.
Two dinosaurs, 1 herbivore and 1 carnivore are in the same area, but do not bother to go near each other knowing what strengths they have against each other. The scientist shouts, "AND NOW...THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR-THE T-REX!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"Uhh.... the baby." I laughed my head off at this part as I thought something big was coming. Slowly, the baby t-Rex get cornered by the two larger dinosaurs. He has no choice but to cry for his mommy.
The t-Rex's mom had the loudest roar of any dinosaur. It seemed to shake the stadium! She fought off both of the bullies and was reunited with her baby.

Sadly, they all of the sudden were hit by a comet that started extinction of dinosaurs. To this day, you can see that comet's crater in the Gulf of Mexico.

THE END

Overall I think the show was definitely worth the money! I'd give it 5 out of 5 stars! If it comes in your area, be sure to check it out! :)

Fun fact: Rex means king in Latin.
