You could arm-wrestle with a T. rex and win, but you shouldn't because it only makes them mad.

Dinosaurs are the jumper cables to the human mind. Kids can't curb their enthusiasm when they're in a hall of dinosaurs and mammoths and mammoth hunters and trilobites and giant fish that could chomp up a shark. These natural objects in motion and context make kids want to read; you can't stop them from reading and thinking.

Land bridges were everywhere during the extinction, many species were spreading, and there were many diseases.

The evidence is overwhelming that birds are dinosaurs.
