EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, an animated model of the Maiasaura hatchling brings to life the enchanting image of an extinct dinosaur whose name translates to "good mother lizard." This meticulously crafted replica, created by Kokoro Ltd. for the Natural History Museum in London, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the Cretaceous period, approximately 60-85 million years ago. The Maiasaura was a bipedal, herbivorous dinosaur belonging to the Euornithopoda suborder, which is considered the closest known relation to modern birds. This dinosaur, with its distinctive, flat, parrot-like beak, was a member of the Anatidae family, which includes ducks and geese. The Maiasaura's ankylopollexia, a feature characterized by a fused lower limb bone, is evident in the model's sturdy legs. This model showcases the dinosaur's intricate details, from its scaly skin to the feathers covering its body, which is a topic of ongoing debate among scientists. The Maiasaura is also known for its unique parental behavior, as fossil evidence suggests that adults cared for their young by carrying their eggs and hatchlings. The animated Maiasaura hatchling in this photograph is a testament to the captivating world of dinosaurs and the advancements in technology that allow us to experience their presence beyond the fossil record. This enchanting model serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse ecosystems that once thrived on our planet.
