I have visited this very interesting temporary exhibition at the Parque de las Ciencias, Granada.
Being a dinomaniac as a child, I grew watching pictures of a tyrannosaurus in a straight pose fighting with a troubled triceratops that tried to defend itself with its three horns. Now I was shocked to discover that all this images from childhood were wrong! In the exhibition, it was explained that the hypothesis of tyrannosaurus being a scavenger was taking force among paleontologists; and never stood in a straight pose. Even worse: the triceratops (my favourite!) did not use its three horns for combat purposes... just to regulate body temperature. Oh, that was too much for me. I was devastated.
If you were born in the sixties or seventies and can not believe it either, you can check it here. Another myth is gone.
While my patient wife was trying to stop the kids sneak through the ropes to touch the bones, I took the sketchbook out and drew...

menos mal que no hemos dibujado este t-rex juntos, si no, estarías de pie sobre mi cuaderno… te ha quedado muy chulo!
Tienes un buen ojo, lo dibujé de pie... ¡Gracias!
I agree, they keep changing history on us don't they! Great drawing, T-Rex still looks like a hunter to me though.
I love this sketch! Fabulous.
