I’ve been working for several months now on the text for an awesome exhibition at the Australian Museum about tyrannosaurs, and our house is now awash with tyrannosaurs.
So, it’s only natural to take our Tyrannosaurus rex for a photo shoot. I thought I’d share the results, cause they’re incredibly unscientific, and the kids and I had a ball! In fact we all had a ball, except for the ankylosaurus 🙂

Note the massive head balancing the long tail (this shoot may be unscientific, but we still shun the old-fashioned kangaroo-pose)
The ankylosaurus is on borrowed time. Our tyrannosaur is closing in….
Randomly, kangaroo-style tyrannosaur makes it to the moon.
And *sigh*…That was delicious! (Note the pneumatic skull, the robust jaw, the satisfied post-ankylosaurus grin.)

Love this, Cristy! I think my favourite part is the random moon visit. That didn’t come from the kids by any chance, did it? It put me in mind of group-directed storytelling at school visits.There’s always someone who calls out things like “Suddenly, a portal opened and sucked them into space!”
