Carnivore who dominated the seas throughout the jurassic era. If it existed, the Loch Ness Monster would be a distant relative.

"The Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, also known as Dinosaur Court, are a series of sculptures of extinct reptiles (including dinosaurs) and mammals located in Crystal Palace Park, London. Commissioned in 1852 and unveiled in 1854, they were the first dinosaur sculptures in the world, pre-dating the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by six years. While to varying degrees inaccurate by modern standards, the models were designed and sculpted by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins under the scientific direction of Sir Richard Owen, representing the latest scientific knowledge at the time. The models were classed as Grade II listed buildings from 1973, extensively restored in 2002, and upgraded to Grade I listed in 2007."

The Crystal Palace dinosaurs were the first dinosaur sculptures in the world. They were commissioned in 1852, at the point when the Crystal Palace was moved from Hyde Park to Sydenham Hill in south London following the closure of the Great Exhibition. They were designed and sculpted by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins with the help of Richard Owen, a noted biologist and palaeontologist of the time. They were unveiled in 1854.

Ewan and Jordan were both not well on Thursday and so it was a good opportunity to build some dinosaurs!
The structure around the eye on these models was acutally below the skin and functionned like the aperture on a camera lens to protect the creature's eye deep undersea

Day 14: Creative
Away up in Scotland is a Scottish fjord that they call Loch Ness. So deep and dark, nobody knows what's in there, but there is rumored to be a bonnie creature living deep within the hidden crevices of the loch's bottom. Is there something down there?
Brought to the world's attention in 1933, the Loch Ness Monster created huge waves throughout the entire world. Described most commonly as a monster similar to a plesiosaurus, several sightings have been reported since then. Evidence of her existence is unreliable, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and a few sonar readings. The scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, explaining sightings of this wonderful creature as a mix of hoaxes and wishful thinking.
Pfft. What do scientists know? I wouldn't expect a person who doesn't believe in magic to be able to find Nessie- a creature so crafty and creative, she has eluded authorities for several decades.
But I know the truth. This crafty creature ain't no joke, I can tell you that much. And now I have the proof. I captured this photo in a rare moment; Nessie basking in the sunlight on a hot summer day.
Nessie, you keep on swimming, and don't you forget to keep return on a sunny day to those of us who love and believe in you.
