Tea, Rex?

Melbourne Has A Jurassic Spark

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Yes, I was astounded by the size of the dinosaur fossil they found in Argentina this week, but look what I tracked down recently. Independent studies have shown that this species, previously thought to be extinct, is still popular in Australia. Forget about T-Rex, this is thought to be the most colourful example of the fairgroundus rewardus.

  8. That creature—dinosaur or dragon—I wager is much more colorful (and docile) than the original!
