Scenes of the Dinosaurs

Pachycephalosaurs Butting Heads

Kokoro's flagship robotic exhibit Scenes of the Dinosaurs focuses on several dramatic vignettes that portray the life of the dinosaurs in a variety of settings. Based on paleontological discovery, each scene comes to life in a way that inspires the imaginations of your youngest visitors, and offers a refreshing departure from traditional, academic displays.

As pictured above, two Pachycephalosaurs butt heads in a show of herd dominance, like bighorn sheep are known to do today. Affectionately dubbed "bone heads" by paleontologists, these creatures show the skeletal specialization that many dinosaurs developed.

Representing a predator/prey scenario, an Albertosaurus chases an Euoplocephalus, (pictured on our home page). Wearing a heavy armor of bone, swinging a club-like tail with a heavy ball of fused bone at the end, Euoplocephalus was potentially a formidable opponent for the carnivore.

Demonstrating how she earned her name "Good Mother Lizard", a Maiasaura (right) mother tends to her nest filled with hatching eggs, while her juvenile offspring look on. This important nurturing scene teaches children that some dinosaurs cared for their young in a way similar to present-day animals.

Other scenes: An Apatosaurus mother and her baby greet visitors with wide, sweeping neck motions. These peaceful plant eaters appear almost friendly as they observe their surroundings.

Tenontosaurus Being Attacked By Four Deinonychus


A peaceful, plant-eating Tenontosaurus attempts to defend itself from an attack by four Deinonychus. With their large cranial capacity and developed limbs, Deinonychus are believed to have been one of the most intelligent species of dinosaurs, and these creatures give us an idea of how dinosaurs might have evolved had they not become extinct.
