Today, huge and terrible dinosaurs lived on Earth millions of years ago thanks to cartoons, toys and other Jurassic parks today, everyone knows without exception. For fans of huge creatures, an exhibition of dinosaurs was organized.
Feeling the genuine interest of people in this, especially among the population of primary school age, the popularizers of science from commerce quickly organized dinosaur exhibitions touring the cities of the world. Last year, one of the largest of them reached Nizhny Novgorod, and then to the capital.
Dinosaurs in Nizhny Novgorod. Exhibition that amazes
In addition to profit to the organizers, the exhibition really carries a huge educational charge both to small spectators and their parents, grandparents. It allows you to find out that these are not enlarged copies of the heroes of adventure films, but recreated and made life-size thanks to the science of paleontology, creatures that actually lived on our planet.
The event was held in 2014. This dinosaur show made a splash with the locals. From February 1 to March 31, anyone could see with their own eyes the ancient dinosaurs.
There is such a science
Paleontology studies and systematizes fossilized petrified animals and plants of ancient times, called geological periods. This allows us to understand the process of evolution of life on Earth. Scientists have learned from the remains to collect the skeletons of long-extinct living creatures, and later to restore their external image, as close as possible to a real-life species. The dinosaur exhibition was organized only according to real data.
The most famous public in our country was a paleontologist - professor and doctor of biological sciences - Ivan Antonovich Efremov, who was engaged in excavation of dinosaurs in the Mongolian Gobi desert for many years. He is much more famous as a Soviet science-fiction writer, who wrote the most famous works: Andromeda Nebula, Razor Blade, and Thais of Athens.
Exhibits as living
At the exhibitions, more than twenty species of dinosaurs were presented, giving a general idea of how these mysterious, in many respects seeming unrealistic, creatures from the distant past of our planet looked in nature. Amazed almost all the dinosaurs in Nizhny Novgorod. The exhibition delighted with its scale and credibility.
Here are some of the ancient creatures on display:
- Tyrannosaurus Rex is probably the most familiar from the films.
- Triceratops having a huge horned skull.
- The achillobator, which was discovered in Mongolia most recently - in 1989.
- Pterodactyl and pteranodon, giant flying dinosaurs.
The dinosaur exhibition will amaze everyone who wants to see how these monsters really looked.
Covered with multi-colored silicone skin, more like futuristic armor with muscles rolling under it, making strange sounds and screams, dinosaurs equipped with hidden electric drives and motion sensors, move limbs and tails, open terrible jaws. One of them is born from an egg. Such realism causes a slight rush, turning into nervous laughter, even among some adult visitors. But the children are either not at all afraid of the dinosaurs or instantly adapt after the first fleeting fright and are drawn to touch the exhibits.
All exhibits are made by true masters of their craft in the People's Republic of China. The descendants of the creators of the Terracotta Army tried to achieve maximum resemblance to dinosaurs, using the knowledge accumulated by paleontologists and their own unique skills. That is why the dinosaur exhibition in Nizhny was so popular.
