Coelophysis :
Reproduction (il s'agit peut-être de l'original mais je n'en suis pas certain) du plus fameux squelette de Coelophysis. Pour information, le Coelophysis était l'un des premiers dinosaure chasseurs du Trias qui pouvait atteindre les 3 mètres de long.
Si vous observez sa cage thoracique, vous pouvez voir des os plus petits que ses côtes. Il s'agit en fait de son dernier repas : un bébé Coelophysis (preuve que ces derniers pouvaient être cannibales en cas de besoin).
Reproduction (it is maybe the original but I am not certain of it) of the most famous skeleton of Coelophysis. For information, Coelophysis was one of first dinosaur hunters of the triassic period, it could reach 3 meters long.
If you observe the rib cage, you can see bones smaller than its ribs. It is it's last meal : a baby Coelophysis (proof that they could be cannibal if necessary).

Allosaurus :
Reproduction probable d'un squelette d'allosaure : un dinosaure carnivore du Jurassique (bien que certains spécimens nains ait survécus au Crétacé) d'une taille moyenne de 8,5 mètres de long. Ce dernier s'attaquait principalement aux dinosaures herbivores comme les stégosaures ou les sauropodes (grands dinosaures herbivores.
Probably a reproduction of a skeleton of an allosaurus : a carnivorous dinosaur of the Jurassic (although certain dwarf specimens survived until the Cretaceous) of an average size 8,5 meters long. This dinosaur eat mainly dinosaurs as stegosauruses or sauropodes (big dinosaurs with long neck).

Tyrannosaurus rex :
Un Tyrannosaure animé d'une taille respectable (les vrais faisaient souvent entre 12 mètres et 14 mètres de long) faisant partie de la section "Dinosaures" dans le "Musée des sciences naturelles" (Londres).
Pour info, le bestiau était un carnivore se déplaçant en troupeaux (découverte récente), mais trop stupide pour coopérer en groupe, ce qui a laissé de nombreuses traces de morsures dans les os de certains tyrannosaures mis à jour.

The nest of maiasaura :
Un nid de Maiasaura ("lézard bonne mère"). Ce dinosaure herbivore du Crétacé de 9 mètres de long pour un poids de 3 tonnes fait partie de l'ordre des Hadrosauridés (dinosaures à becs de canards). Découverts principalement dans le Montana (Etats-unis), les restes de Maiasauras étaient souvent accompagnés de nombreux nids. Ce qui prouve que certains dinosaures s'occupaient soigneusement de leurs petits.
A nest of Maiasaura ("caring mother lizard"). This plant-eater dinosaur of the Cretaceous measures 9 meters long for a 3 ton weight is a part of the order of Hadrosaurid (dinosaurs with beaks of ducks). Discovered mainly in the Montana (United States), the rests of Maiasauras were often accompanied with numerous nests. What proves that certain dinosaurs took care carefully of their youngs.
