Yutyrannus huali, Barnum Brown and the Dromaeosaurs
I have returned from the late Cretaceous to share an AMAZING new dino discovery and I also wanted to tell you about the dromaeosaurs, and also Barnum Brown the most famous paleontologist ever to live.
See my toe claw? Can you guess which dino I am? My clue is: I have a really big brain and can see at night. Leave your guess in my comments. The first person to guess it will get a surprise!
I think your toe claw dino is a Troodon - I would provide a picture but the site doesn't let me paste it in. I would like to hear more about microraptors as I think the little dinos were very interesting
I find it fascinating that what we assumed was "knowledge" about the T-Rex may actually be wrong. I would sure love to see a feathered T-Rex too!!! Do you think you could draw us a picture of that?
I am also finding it really interesting that the mimids body shape looks a lot like that of an ostrich--the bird that can run fastest too!
Please keep teaching us all your amazing DINO lore!!! I'm loving it!
This time was the best ever! I sent you a photo on Mama's email... an "artist's depiction" of OSIraptorIS, the fiercest meat eater of them all. He was especially fond of Brachioburgers...with plenty of KETCHUP!

Way to go Dr OGP! :)
Who knew that dinosaurs might have feathers. Amazing! Thanks for sharing what you know.
Hey Dr OGP......Is it a Leaellynasaura? Your Tante Jody

Ding ding ding. Amma wins! I am a Troodon. Ta-da!
The toe claw was the hint that would tell you I am a dromaeosaur. See my toe claw?
Leaellynasaura was a nice guess because she has such big eyes for night vision and sort of a big brain but she has no toe claw.
Love,
Dr. OGP!
Dear Dr. OGP,

Osiris,
Thank you for sharing about the dromaeosaurs. I found it very interesting how they held up their middle toe when they walked. I wonder why.
Love,
Grandpa Roy
