hiya
took a few shots in my local park today (Crystal Palace) when i came across this beast!
Megalosaurus, a giant and visually impressive even by today's standards, the Megalosaurus became one of the park's three 'mascot dinosaurs' along with the Iguanodon and (less so) the Ichthyosaurs. Yet it is arguably the most inaccurate of all of Hawkins's models, depicted as a quadruped that looks like an elephant with a lizard's head and paws.

Re: crystal palace dinosaur
Nice image, but as a beast it wouldn't work unless it spent most of it's time in the water. The back legs are machnically wrong for a beast of that size, the knee joints would snap under the pressure of the weight. Should have elephant type back legs.monst wrote: Megalosaurus, a giant and visually impressive even by today's standards, the Megalosaurus became one of the park's three 'mascot dinosaurs' along with the Iguanodon and (less so) the Ichthyosaurs.

Sorry about the non photographic reply.
