this is awesome, I knew they were doing experiments with dino DNA from archaic mosquito blood filled in with frog DNA sequences, I did not know it had progressed to this
I was at the Natural History Museum - Smithsonian when the smaller carnivore was there (looks kinda like some kind of Raptor to me, not sure the exact species.) My two nieces (5 and 7) were FREAKING OUT lol. They loved it. Who ever was controlling it you could see clearly, though they had black stockings on to obscure the legs better.
But very cool, very lifelike. The fog works good to cover the large structure between the big dino's legs for stability.
>> ^rosser99: Those are definitely people legs on the little raptor.
Yeah, kind of a bummer. I was really impressed before I noticed that. Still amazing though. I saw the other dinos attached to rigs and I was thinking that the raptor had some cool gyroscope thingy to keep it's center of gravity under control and... oh, its got people legs and gray sweatpants.
Amazing stuff.
And these things? They be made here in Melbourne, Australia. Yeah, we build life sized dinosaurs here
Not really robotic, it's a guy in a suit. Cool suit, but not robotic.
Boy, then that's one hellofa big man in that t-rex suit!
