THE DINOSAUR WORLD...



DINOSAURS

Before I left Florida, my friends took me to this part called The Dinosaur World. It has so many replicas of these giant animals that are believed to have lived on earth millions of years ago. The Bible in the book of Job talks about some of these giant animals and it is believed they were the first kind of animals to live on earth.
We toured around and saw different kinds of these giant animals. Paul, my son loves Dinosaurs and he comes home every day with a different story about these special animals, so I took so many pictures for him. Daily many people come to this park that is well taken care of just to see what these amazing animals looked like.
They say that long ago, Archeologists found fossils of these enormous animals and they could tell how big they were and possibly how they looked and the kind of life they lived. They say most of these were meat eaters whereas others would feed on vegetation. It is assumed that most of them would eat up other Dinosaurs. Most of them lived in the woods, a few lived in water. Some of them had wings though they could not fly. All of them were big reptiles. They say they lived for so many years.
They say that there was an earthquake millions of years ago that changed the atmospheric conditions making it hard for these animals to live and hence led to their extinction.
It was amazing to go through this amazing park with all these replicas and each had a description of what type of Dinosaur that was and how it would live. Whereas it is hard to tell what type of bodies they had, from the appearance of their bones and all other discoveries about these animals, scientists could tell what type of bodies these animals possibly had. Whatever it is they look beautiful. Some of them had short fore legs with big strong hind legs. Meat eaters had sharp teeth and claws by which they would tear into the flesh of their catch.
Inside was a museum with a display of different fossils and bones that were discovered from different parts of the world. It is amazing to see how big these animals must have been.
There was another part that shows how the bones looked like when they were dug up from the sand. These animals were simply too big.
The whole adventure was so beautiful.

I enjoyed my stay in Florida especially with my friends Gerry and Melinda and it was now time to go to my next destination, Virginia.
