"Barosaurus belonged to a group of immense, plant-eating dinosaurs, the sauropods, the largest of which lived along the floodplain just east of the ancestral Rocky Mountains about 140 million years ago."

Real fossils were used in reconstructing the model of this juvenile Barosaurus.

"Barosaurus is one of the largest dinosaurs known, much of it's total length resulting from it's greatly elongated neck bones."

AMNH has a big frog exhibit going on right now. Very cool. Over 200 various frogs and lots of fun info. Wish I'd have kept better track of which frog was in which photo, but fun was had by all.

This one can grow to 8 inches in diameter - that's the size of a dinner plate!
