As much as I love the mount of Barnum Brown's famous Tyrannosaurus skeleton at the AMNH, one of my absolute favorite reconstructions is the one pictured above from the Maryland Science Museum in Baltimore. While many Tyrannosaurus mounts have their heads high up in the air, perhaps even with jaws…

Aaaaah, how cute he (she?) is smiling (that is a smile, right?)

Pictures (okay, drawings) of tyrannosaurs always thrilled me when I was a child, and I still think they are neat. however, for some reason, the triceratops was and still is my favorite: I'm not sure why.

I got the impression it's napping, with its chin resting on a sand dune. I wonder if Albertosaurs snored.
