Spectacularly large creature
Renew peoples sense of wonder
A time that is green and lush
To understand what is beyond us
Enter his world. What can you see?
Evolutionary forces made him so big
Developed muscles, violently-colored tail
Long legs and feet, a narrow skull
Think.How did this animal live?
Face like a vulture. Featherless
It lies in wait like a crocodile
Real life creature. Extinct reptile
Drawn into the animal.It comes alive
It's true.The back of its skull is wide
Eyes separated facing forward
A formidable predator walks the earth
Crushing bite, overwhelming force
Fearsome teeth. Ouch! That hurt
Cutting meat into chunks
Okay, okay rabbit it is
Frenzied behavior, exuberance
Bringing order to the chaos
Isn't fatal, just fatiguing
A zoo of many other creatures
~~~~~~~~~~
Storm raven,leaves and turtle shells
A bone that's crumbling.It's hollow
Thigh bone extracted from the ground
Dinosaur mummy in thegrasslands
Covered in mud, entombed in dirt
Near the coastal plain cut with rivers
By now over 65 million years old
Young Tyrannosaurus rex lies cold
Out into the museum world
Descendants of birds, extinct animals
Reconstructed museum skeleton
Imaging landscape across the eons

Basement Dwellers, Listen Up!
Hey, a fossil is still a rock
